Hollin Meadows Family Survey
Dear Hollin Meadows Families,
Please fill out the Hollin Meadows Elementary School Family Needs Assessment & Workshop Topics Survey as soon as possible. It helps us plan family coffee workshops and support each family by identifying their needs.
👉 Please click here to complete the Hollin Meadows Elementary School Family Survey.
At Hollin Meadows Elementary School, we believe that strong family–school partnerships are essential to supporting student success. To better understand how we can support your family, we are conducting a Family Needs Assessment. This will help us identify your needs (such as food, clothing, or information) and guide us in planning helpful workshops and training for families.
The survey is available in English, Spanish, Amharic, Dari, and Pashto.
If you have questions, please reach out to Ms. Oncho, the Family Liaison.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction. A continuum of Advanced Academic Program (AAP) services is available to students in Grades K-12 and is designed to match services to each student’s unique academic needs.

Fall identification: Students in grades 3-7 who have enrolled in FCPS since January may be referred by October 15, 2026.
-
Spring identification: Any FCPS student in Grades 2-7 may be referred by December 15, 2026.

Lunch Buddies with the FCPD on Oct. 15
During the 2026-2027 school year Fairfax County police are excited to be partnering with FCPS elementary schools located in the Mt. Vernon district on a program called Lunch Buddies. The program consists of Police officers from the Mt. Vernon Police station visiting elementary schools during lunch to spend time with the kids in a non-threatening environment. Our hope is to build relationships with the children so they can be more comfortable with the police and see us as someone here to help.
We are excited to announce that we will have our police officer Lunch Buddies join us at Hollin Meadows on October 15, 2026.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to PFC Brandie Allen at brandie.allen@fairfaxcounty.gov.
