RAVEN REPORT
Last week was short and sweet! Our ELA and Math teams have been deep in remediation for Monday and Tuesdays retakes. Thank you to everyone who supported our remediation efforts this year, we saw some great targeted small group lessons that I know will support growth on our students’ retakes. We appreciate your support in making sure our students are ready to learn and wish you all a great week!

Technology Collection: Starting on June 12 we will be collecting laptops, pouches, and chargers from students for the year. Any item not returned, students will be charged for a replacement item. If students do not turn in items and do not pay for a replacement they will not be able to participate in field day.

Last Day of School Bell Schedule/2-Hour Early Release: On this day students will have a different bell schedule where they will visit all their classes for approximately 10 minutes each. Students will have lunch and then dismissal. Dismissal is at 12:15pm.
School Board Adopts Fiscal Year 2027 Approved Budget: On May 21, the Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Approved Budget, continuing FCPS’ commitment to sustaining excellence by prioritizing competitive compensation and strategic investments that support student success.
The adopted budget reflects the division’s ongoing efforts to navigate a challenging fiscal environment shaped in part by chronic state underfunding and economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the budget maintains key investments and restores several reductions made during the prior fiscal year. Read about the FY 2027 Budget.

Finish the School Year With Strong Attendance! As we enter the final weeks of the school year, Fairfax County Public Schools appreciates your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success. Regular attendance plays an important role in helping students stay engaged in learning, maintain connections with their teachers and peers, and finish the school year strong.
Attending school consistently also helps students build valuable habits such as responsibility, perseverance, and daily routines that support success both in and out of the classroom.
If your child needs to miss school, please remember to report the absence. Full-day absences can be reported in ParentVUE. Families may also report absences by calling the school attendance line or emailing the school-designated attendance address.
If your child is experiencing challenges that are affecting attendance, we are here to help. Please contact your child’s school so staff can partner with you to provide support and resources. Learn more about attendance resources.
