Dear Eagle View Fmilies,
It was another great week at Eagle View! Back to School Night on Wednesday was a wonderful evening. It was great to see so many families, and our students were excited to guide their families through a day in their classrooms.
As we head into October, we have a busy and exciting month ahead. This Friday, we’ll kick off our annual PTA fundraiser, Boosterthon! For families new to Eagle View, Boosterthon is our schoolwide fundraiser. We’ll share more information after the kickoff.
Tomorrow is Books Beyond the Bell! Please note our updated hours: 4:30–6:00 p.m. Join us on Monday, September 28, for Books Help Us Shine! Students and families can read together, explore the library, and check out books to enjoy at home. Stop by the Star Reader Photo Booth, make a special bookmark, and pick up a Reading Is Fun bracelet while supplies last. Families are also invited to gather for a special read-aloud at 5:15 p.m.
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
KJ An
Principal

The FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) booklet explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. We encourage families to discuss these expectations with their child(ren).
Families should review the SR&R and sign the acknowledgement form by Wednesday, September 30, either by logging into SIS ParentVUE or by signing and returning the Signature Sheet.
Cellphones and Personal Devices
Students may only use a personal device if it is required as part of a necessary accommodation in the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan. A principal or the principal’s designee may approve a limited, course-specific exception for students enrolled in a specialized class when the curriculum requires a technology tool or software that isn’t available on a standard FCPS-issued device. Learn more on the FCPS website.
Understanding the Acceptable Use PolicyFCPS provides students with digital tools and devices to support their learning, encourage easy collaboration, and help students learn how to interact with technology safely. The FCPS Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) guides how these technologies are used both inside the classroom and at home. By following the AUP, students learn how to become not just users of technology, but responsible and ethical digital citizens with critical real-world skills such as:
-
Responsible Communication and Conduct: Communicating respectfully and using technology appropriately.
-
Digital Footprint Awareness: Understanding online actions can have lasting effects on a student’s reputation, future opportunities and relationships, career prospects, and safety.
-
Data Privacy and Security: Learning how online safety can protect their digital work and personal information, and guard against cybersecurity risks.
-
Self-Regulation: Learning to manage digital distractions to stay focused when needed.
-
Accountability: Understanding that they are responsible for how they use FCPS technology and digital resources.
Learn more about digital citizenship at FCPS.
