The Wolf Shack, the PTSA-sponsored in-school food and resource pantry at Justice High School, provides FREE essential resources to all students - from after-school snacks to food and fresh produce for home to personal toiletries to clothing to academic supplies.
Our Wolf Shack volunteers support over 1,500 student visits a month during weekly open hours on Wednesdays & Thursdays (Room B27 from 3-5pm). The Wolf Shack can also be accessed anytime for emergent needs through teachers, social workers, family liaisons and counselors.
The need for food and resource support has continued to increase in our community. The Wolf Shack is fully dependent upon the financial and in-kind donation support of our partners, families, staff and community. Please help us ensure that all Justice students have the food and resources they need.
We are asking you to take action against hunger this month and consider supporting The Wolf Shack in any of the following ways:
- Make a financial donation which allows us to fill urgent needs (jhsptsa.org/wolfshackfund)
- Become a Food for Neighbors Red Bag Donor to donate easily throughout the school year (https://www.foodforneighbors.org/red-bag-program/)
- Drop-off or have any donation delivered to the front office of JHS (just label with "PTSA Wolf Shack")
- Purchase directly from our Amazon wish-list and deliver straight to the school (jhsptsa.org/wolfshackwishlist)
- Organize a food and toiletry drive through your community, church, clubs and/or service organizations
- Volunteer for our weekly open hours, packing the family food bags and/or for food distribution pick-ups and unloading (jhsptsa.org/wolfshacksignup)
Email wolfshack@justicehsptsa.org with any questions or ideas. Thank you again for your support and generosity!
THANK YOU to Einstein Bagels & Penzeys Spices For Supporting The Wolf Shack!
The Wolf Shack would like to thank our local business partners for donating to the pantry and supporting our students!
Einstein Bagel in Bailey's Crossroads donates hundreds of fresh baked bagels to the Wolf Shack each Wednesday to offer our students during our open hours. Students love grabbing bags of gourmet bagels to snack on after school or take home!
Penzey's Spices in Falls Church secured a large corporate donation of a variety of spices and spice blends for our students to take home and sample - from fresh ground pepper to grilling blends to curry!
We greatly appreciate the generosity of these local businesses and encourage our community to drop by and say thanks!
If you own or know of a local business interested in supporting the Wolf Shack, emai us atl wolfshack@justicehsptsa.org!

Our Focus on Academic Growth and Excellence
The FCPS 2023-30 Strategic Plan sets five main goals to create positive change in the division. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts.
The third goal is for all students to achieve academic growth and excellence. We want our students to have the academic skills to be successful, including reading on level by third grade. See how Goal 3 is being put into practice.
Not Feeling Well? When Your Child Can Come to School
School is better when your child is here! But we do understand that some days, they may feel unwell. Learn more about which symptoms are ok at school (like sneezing or sniffles), and when your child should stay home (if they have a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, for example).
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify our school so that assistance can be provided if needed. Keep an open line of communication with our public health nurse. Call us as soon as you know your child will be absent and, if possible, let us know how long you think they will be out.
If you or your family need any kind of support, please reach out to our front office. We are here for you! Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies.

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.
No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All Middle and 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.
