This Week's Topics


A Message from Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

As we conclude another outstanding school year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for all that our students, staff, and community have accomplished together.

This year marked the launch of our new mission and vision, centered on four core commitments: Community, Opportunity, Rigor, and Empowerment. These principles have guided our work and are reflected in the remarkable achievements of our students.

Academically, we continued to set new standards of excellence. We remain home to the largest AVID program in Virginia and the second-largest International Baccalaureate (IB) program in FCPS. This year, we achieved the highest level of IB participation in school history, with a 14% increase in students registering for one or more IB exams. Our multilingual learners also excelled, outperforming the division on WIDA growth measures and achieving the highest exit rate from the Multilingual Learner Program among our FCPS comparison schools.

Our performing arts programs earned Blue Ribbon recognition, with band, choir, orchestra, and guitar all receiving Superior ratings—the highest distinction possible. Beyond the classroom, more than 65 clubs were active this year, providing students with countless opportunities to connect, lead, and grow.

Our student-athletes continued to excel, with 33 students earning varsity letters across all three athletic seasons. The Girls Senior Quad rowing team captured the Virginia State Championship and competed at Nationals for the second consecutive year.

One of the highlights of the year was International Night, where more than 1,000 community members came together to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and talents that make our school so special.

Most importantly, these accomplishments reflect the dedication, resilience, and excellence of our students and staff. Their hard work has made this one of the strongest years in our school's history, and I could not be more proud.

Thank you to our families, staff, and community partners for your continued support. I wish everyone a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer. We look forward to welcoming back our returning students and greeting the incoming Class of 2030 in August as we begin another exciting year together.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

Principal

Provide Feedback on Secondary Mathematics Instructional Resource

A review committee composed of community members, administrators, and teachers met to review materials submitted by vendors.

We stand with those facing an ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice. This Pride Month, we reaffirm and uphold the dignity of LGBTQIA+ people. Each individual in our school community should feel valued for who they are. Visit our LGBTQIA+ Student Resources and Supports webpage.

Weekly Reminders

Family Information Line Available in Nine Languages

Keeping Children Safe Online

The Fairfax County Police Department shares these resources to help keep children safe online.


What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness.


Varsity Tutors Provides On-Demand Support at No Cost

Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors.


No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students

Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies? 

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.


Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.
