The Dixit Dialogue – May 2026

Dear Sully District Families and Community Members,

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎✨

Earlier this month, we celebrated and appreciated the incredible teachers across FCPS who make a lasting difference in the lives of our students every single day. From inspiring curiosity and creativity to offering encouragement, guidance, and support, our educators go far beyond the classroom to help every child grow and succeed. Their dedication, patience, and passion do not go unnoticed, and our schools are stronger because of them.

A special thank you as well to our wonderful PTA/PTO/PTSA/PTSO volunteers and families who work so hard to show appreciation for our teachers and staff through lunches, treats, flowers, notes, gifts, and countless thoughtful gestures throughout the week. Your partnership and continued support help make our school communities so special.

FCPS is fortunate to have such caring educators, supportive families, and engaged communities working together for our students. If you have the opportunity, please take a moment to thank a teacher, staff member, or school employee for all they do each and every day! 💙

I have also appreciated the opportunity to meet with many community members throughout the various community meetings held during this process. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to attend, share feedback, ask thoughtful questions, and voice concerns. Your input, perspectives, and continued engagement are invaluable as we work together to make informed decisions that best support our students, families, and schools.

In partnership,

Seema Dixit

Sully District School Board Member

Fairfax County FY 2027 Budget

FY27 Budget Highlight Page 1

Last Thursday, at the Regular meeting the Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the FY 2027 budget, one of the most important responsibilities we undertake each year as a Board. This budget reflects our continued commitment to supporting students, educators, and schools while balancing the many needs and priorities across our division.

Throughout the budget process, we heard valuable input from educators, staff, students, families, and community members, and those voices played an important role in shaping our decisions. I want to thank Superintendent Reid, our dedicated FCPS budget staff, and everyone who participated in work sessions, public hearings, and community conversations. Your engagement and advocacy helped shape this year’s budget priorities.

Some key highlights included in this year’s adopted budget are:

  • Full restoration of Special Education Department Chair positions at elementary schools.
  • Full restoration of Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) positions at non-Title I schools.
  • Partial restoration of staffing reductions made during last year’s budget cycle to help address class sizes.
  • Compensation increases and step increases for eligible employees to support recruitment and retention of high-quality staff.
  • Continued investments in athletics, student activities, and student support services.
  • Continued support for family liaison positions and certified athletic trainers.

This year’s budget also works to restore several reductions made during last year’s challenging budget cycle while continuing to prioritize student success, staff support, and long-term fiscal responsibility. 

As Chair, I remain committed to ensuring that our budget decisions continue to reflect the needs of our students, staff, and families while maintaining strong fiscal responsibility. I will continue working collaboratively with my colleagues, FCPS leadership, educators, and the community to advocate for resources that support student success, staff well-being, and high-quality educational opportunities across our schools.

community

Seema Dixit meeting with various community members

It seems like just yesterday that FCPS purchased a new high school, and now we are approaching an important point in the process, with the School Board expected to vote on the boundary in the coming weeks.

I want to acknowledge that this process has at times felt difficult, stressful, and frustrating for many in our community. I recognize the uncertainty and pressure families, students, and staff have experienced throughout these discussions.

Over the past several months, I have attended and hosted multiple meetings with community members to hear firsthand the concerns, questions, and perspectives surrounding the proposed boundaries and related issues. I truly appreciate everyone who has taken the time to engage, share feedback, and advocate for their communities.

Please know that nothing has been finalized yet, and community feedback continues to be an important part of this process. I encourage families and residents to continue reaching out by email, and I remain happy to meet with anyone who would like to discuss concerns, ask questions, or share additional input.

As this process continues, I will remain committed to listening carefully, advocating strongly for our community with FCPS staff and with my colleagues on the School Board, and ensuring that your voices continue to be part of these important discussions. Ultimately, these decisions require the support of the broader Board, and I will continue working collaboratively to help advance outcomes that reflect the needs, priorities, and well-being of our students, families, and neighborhoods.

 


Skyview Update

Skyview High School Logo

With just a few days remaining before the next round of community meetings, I want to share several important updates regarding the Skyview High School and Western Pyramids Boundary Study.

Throughout this process, families and community members have continued to emphasize several important priorities, including keeping neighborhoods together, preserving walk zones whenever possible, minimizing transportation impacts, considering commute times and traffic patterns, and prioritizing student safety for walkers, drivers, and surrounding communities.

As a result of the feedback received, I can confirm that elementary school boundary adjustments will no longer be part of this study. While some feeder pattern changes may still be considered, elementary school attendance boundaries themselves will remain unchanged at this time.

Additionally, the timeline for final School Board action has been extended from June to July to allow additional time for community engagement and for families to review and provide feedback on the revised scenarios that will be shared later this month. Boundary changes are still anticipated to take effect beginning in the 2027–28 school year.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to participate, share feedback, and advocate for students, families, and our broader community throughout this important process.

These next meetings will be held in person at Skyview High School and virtually via Zoom. If you plan to attend in person or virtually, please click one of the links to register. 

I look forward to meeting many of you at the upcoming community meetings. I plan to be present at most of them and would greatly value hearing your perspectives, suggestions, and feedback. Please consider attending and advocating for your student—your voice plays an important role in shaping these decisions.


Mascot

The votes are in, and Skyview High School's official mascot is the AVIATOR!

A huge congratulations to all our future Aviators- we look forward to watching our school community soar together!

🎻School Visit to Crossfield elementary🎼

Crossfield visit

Seema Dixit visit to Crossfield elementary

During my recent visit to Crossfield Elementary School, the proud “Home of the Rockets,” I had the opportunity to spend time with students, teachers, and staff and see firsthand the engaging and supportive learning environment that makes the school such a special place. It was wonderful to observe classrooms filled with curiosity, collaboration, and creativity as students participated in meaningful hands-on learning experiences.

One of the highlights of the visit was watching kindergarten students participate in an “Introduction to Color Code” STEM activity using small programmable robots. Students enthusiastically explored early coding concepts through teamwork, problem-solving, and interactive learning activities that encouraged both creativity and critical thinking.

I also appreciated learning more about how Crossfield Elementary supports the FCPS Portrait of a Graduate vision by helping students grow as communicators, collaborators, creative thinkers, and goal-directed learners. Thank you to the entire Crossfield community for the warm welcome and for the incredible work taking place every day to support student success.

Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Michelle C. Reid and Chief Information Technology Officer Gautam Sethi met with student journalists from each of our high schools this week for a discussion about the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in K12 education.

The hour-long question-and-answer session at the Gatehouse Administration Center was the second in an ongoing series of student journalist roundtables with division leadership.

May is AAPI Heritage Month

AAPI

AAPI

Each May, we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month—a time to recognize the rich history, culture, and lasting impact of AAPI communities across the United States. Officially established in 1992, this month was chosen to commemorate two significant milestones: the arrival of the first Japanese immigrant to the U.S. in 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, a project made possible in large part by Chinese laborers.

This celebration is a meaningful opportunity for students, families, and educators to deepen their understanding of the diverse experiences and achievements of AAPI individuals.


Jewish American Heritage Month

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) recognizes May as Jewish American Heritage Month. This month is dedicated to honoring the history of Jewish contributions to American culture and acknowledging the diverse achievements of the Jewish community in the United States.

New Cellphone Policy Starts July 1

Student looking at cell phone

 

On Thursday, May 7, the Fairfax County School Board approved changes to the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R). The approved changes include updated guidance for cellphone possession and use, to align the FCPS cell phone policy with Senate Bill 108. This new Virginia law goes into effect on July 1 and states that all schools in the Commonwealth must follow a “bell-to-bell” phone-free policy.

This means that starting July 1, 2026, across all grade levels at FCPS, student cellphones, phone accessories, and all smart devices (including watches that serve a dual purpose, such as smart watches, as well as earbuds, headsets, smart glasses, and other other items connected to the internet) must be off and personally stored (i.e., put away in backpacks) for the duration of the school day — thus, no cellphones from bell to bell. 

High school students will no longer be able to use cellphones and personal devices during lunchtime. More details are available on the FCPS Cell Phone Policy webpage

SOL Testing

SOL Support - Spring Testing Season is Here! 

Support Your Children During Important Spring Assessments 

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 your student’s school as soon as possible. 

Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.

Be sure to put testing dates on your family calendar so you don't forget. Check your email and school newsletters for dates and details. Here are some ways to prepare before a test:

  • Remind your child to get a good night's rest.
  • Make sure your child has a healthy breakfast.
  • Avoid scheduling appointments that would take your child out of school on a testing day.
  • Remind your child that electronic devices are not allowed in testing, unless required by 504 or IEP.

Find out more about the tests at each grade level
