Cubbie News
Dear Cub Run Families and Friends,
As we officially close out another incredible school year, we want to take a moment to look back on our journey together. This year has been defined by remarkable growth, shared triumphs, and a deep sense of community. We are profoundly grateful to our students, staff, and families for your dedication, passion, and partnership in making this year truly unforgettable.
Our Cubbies have poured their hearts into their learning this year. We have witnessed impressive progress across all academic areas. From measurable growth on key assessments—including WIDA, SOLs, MAP, and VALLSS—to the countless victories achieved daily in our classrooms, our students have persevered through challenges and reached new heights. We could not be prouder of their hard work, resilience, and accomplishments.
Beyond academic success, our school has thrived because of the support of our community. Together, we have lived our C.A.R.E.S. values each day and it was an exciting year implementing our Cubbie Den system. These expectations have guided our actions, deepened our relationships, and sustained a positive, welcoming environment where every child feels empowered to learn and grow.
As we celebrate our collective achievements, we also want to honor those who are preparing for their next great chapters:
- To our rising middle schoolers: Congratulations! We are incredibly excited for the adventures that await you. Go forward with confidence, knowing you have the tools to achieve amazing things.
- To the families moving on to new communities or schools: Thank you for weaving your story into ours. You will always be a cherished part of our school family, and we wish you happiness and success in your next chapter.
To our students, dedicated staff, and supportive families: thank you for a remarkable year. We hope this summer brings you the opportunity to relax, recharge, explore new passions, and make lasting memories with your loved ones.
Have a happy, healthy, and safe summer vacation! We already look forward to welcoming our returning families back in the fall for another year of growth, opportunity, and achievement.
Thank you for your continued partnership. Together, we belong!
Warmest Regards,
Melissa Miller, Principal
Nausheen Haider, Assistant Principal
Summer Office Hours
Beginning on Monday, June 22, 2026, the Cub Run office will be open during the summer from 9:00am to 1:00pm, Monday through Friday. Please call the school office at 703-633-7500 if you have any questions or need to register or unenroll a student for the 2026-27 school year. To schedule an appointment, please email Brittney Kalbaugh at bmkalbaugh@fcps.edu.
Kiss & Ride Vehicle Tag
If you have a child attending Cub Run next year who was in Kiss & Ride this year, please keep your tag in a safe place for the summer. Your family will continue to have the same number and this will avoid re-printing the tags in the fall.
Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Through June, you will receive your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, you can view a list of tests by grade level on the FCPS website.
Most scores are available in SIS ParentVUE. Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families.
Websites for each test provide report translations and help with understanding test results. Please contact our front office with any testing questions or for additional information about how our school and teachers use test results to support student success.
Summer Literacy Resources
Cubbies, as we head into the summer, we want to share some amazing reading opportunities!
Students can join the Fairfax County Public Library Summer Reading Adventure! You can earn badges as you read books and complete various activities. Once you finish the program, you can receive prizes!
Students can also fill out a Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Journal to earn a free book!
And Pizza Hut has brought back their Book It! program! Earn a personal pan pizza as you read your way through the summer.
We would love to hear about your reading adventures this fall when you return to Cub Run! Happy reading, Cubbies!
Summer Digital Learning Resources
To support continued student learning during the summer, FCPS is offering a variety of digital resources for students. Families can visit the Summer Learning Resources webpage to access grade-level, flexible, and engaging activities in Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies for families to use at home.
