Dear Eagle View Families,
It was wonderful to have our students back in the building for a full week—we truly felt the energy and excitement of learning return to Eagle View! On Wednesday, our school proudly participated in Purple Up! Day. Staff and students wore purple to honor and support our military-connected students, and it was a powerful reminder of the strong, inclusive community we continue to build together. Throughout the week, classrooms settled into routines and we really got into the swing of teaching and learning.
We are looking forward to one of our favorite traditions—Stress Less, Laugh More Week—happening next week! This annual Wellness Week is always a highlight for our students. We are especially excited to welcome alpacas and baby goats to Eagle View on Monday and Thursday. These visits, along with the beautiful nature mandalas created with Ms. Morency, are experiences our students remember long after the week is over. We are incredibly grateful to our PTA for making these special opportunities possible. Our preschool students will also enjoy a special therapy day with Rylynn, which we know will be meaningful and engaging for them.
A quick reminder that Tuesday, April 21 is a student holiday due to special elections. In honor of Earth Day, we invite families to join us that morning for our Community Clean-Up Day from 9:00–11:00 AM. It’s a great way to come together, give back, and show pride in our school community. We hope to see many of you there!
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support.
Sincerely,
KJ An
Principal
Spring Screening for School-Based (Subject Specific & Part-Time) Services for 2026-2027 Academic School Year
Students can be screened for school-based (Subject Specific & Part Time) AAP services at any time in the school year. In the spring, local schools review data on all students to determine services for the start of the next school year.
Full-Time Eligibility Information
Students who are not found eligible for full-time services for the 2026-2027 academic school year will automatically be screened for school-based advanced services. Parents do not need to submit an additional referral form.
If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Sharpes nmsharpes@fcps.edu.
There will be no school for students on Tuesday, April 21, for the Virginia statewide election. Student activities, athletic practices, and events may proceed as scheduled.
FCPS will offer lunch and a snack at no cost to children aged 18 and under on April 21 at participating schools. The meals must be eaten on site. For more information, visit the FCPS Food and Nutrition Services webpage.
Adjusted Elementary Early Release Wednesdays
Students will now have a traditional full day of instruction and be released at the regular dismissal time on April 22 and April 29, which were previously early release Wednesdays for elementary schools.
This adjustment allows our staff to still have dedicated time for planning, collaboration, and professional learning without reducing instructional time on other school days.
The School Board voted to direct the superintendent to designate Veterans Day as a standard instructional day for the 2026-27 school year. Because this day was added, the 2026-27 school year will now end for students on Wednesday, June 16, 2027. Find additional information on BoardDocs. View the updated complete school year calendar on FCPS’ website.
The last day of school for the current school year — Wednesday, June 17, 2026 — has not changed.
 Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning.
FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately.
Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season.
It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify us as soon as possible.
Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.
