Dear Justice Community,
I’m excited to share that Justice High School has been recognized as Meets Expectations under Virginia’s School Performance and Support Framework (SPSF). This rating, based on data from last school year, shows that our school is meeting expectations set by the state for student performance.
The state system provides information about our school’s performance on academic and readiness measures. The framework places emphasis on standardized test results, alongside student growth, graduation, and readiness measures that vary by school level.
Justice HS has an overall framework score of 85.46, which falls into the “Meets Expectations” state performance category.
I want to be clear in saying that our students are much more than the results of standardized tests and point systems. Every day in our classrooms, our amazing educators are leading moments of joy in learning. This recognition reflects the strength of our entire school community. Our strong performance stands out and is something to celebrate.
We will continue building on this success. Our team is committed to keeping high expectations for learning, supporting each student’s unique strengths, and creating a school environment where every child feels welcomed, challenged, and cared for. We are also grateful for the support we receive from families. Your involvement makes a difference, and it plays an important role in helping our students succeed.
Thank you for being such an important part of our community. Together, we will continue helping every student at Justice HS thrive.
Regards,
Sean Rolon, Ed.D.
Principal
Last year, a team at Justice began working on our application to be a Purple Star High School. Per VDOE, "The Virginia Purple Star Designation is awarded to military-friendly schools that have demonstrated a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. Schools that earn the award will receive a special Purple Star recognition to display on-site."
Last week, we learned that we have officially been recognized as a First Time Virginia Distinguished Purple Star School!
We are incredibly proud to be recognized for this honor, and we are more proud of the relationships we get to build with our military-connected families. Thanks to all who were involved in making this a reality!

The Wolf Shack Needs Volunteers for Red Bag Saturday on October 24th
Food for Neighbors is one of the Wolf Shack's biggest food and resource donors. Food for Neighbors has a Red Bag Donor program across area middle and high schools: Five times during the school year, you fill a Red Bag (dropped off at your door by Food for Neighbors) with food from a suggested grocery list. Drivers pick up the filled bag right from your front door and volunteers sort the food to distribute to local schools the same day! It is a simple and easy way to make sure the Wolf Shack stays stocked throughout the year.
OUR NEXT RED BAG SATURDAY OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR IS OCTOBER 24TH!
We NEED VOLUNTEERS to help unload and organize our food donations in the Wolf Shack. Adults and students welcome and service hours are offered to all student volunteers. Sign up to volunteer at jhsptsa.org/wolfshacksignup!
The Wolf Shack Wants Your Extra OR Leftover Halloween Candy!
One of the favorite things about the Wolf Shack for students is the candy bowl! A little sweet treat (often with a laugh or chat) means a lot to our student community. But we need help keeping that bowl full...and that's where you come in!
We are asking for extra candy from Halloween to be donated to the Wolf Shack. Starting October 30th, the PTSA will have Wolf Shack bins in the school front office to accept any and all candy donations. Whatever little goblins don't eat on Halloween night will be appreciated for weeks to come in the Wolf Shack!
The Wolf Shack is our PTSA-sponsored in-school food and resource pantry available to all Justice students. In the Wolf Shack, we provide FREE essential resources for ALL students - from food for them and their families to personal care toiletries to clothing to academic supplies to after-school snacks. The Wolf Shack is open from 3-5pm on late bus days (Wednesdays & Thursdays) every week in Room B27 between the Black Box Theater and the Little Theater. The Wolf Shack is fully dependent upon the financial and in-kind donation support of our partners, families, staff and community. Please 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!

Share Your Feedback on Traveling to and From School
The FCPS Office of Safety and Security and Safe Routes to School program are asking families to share their experiences traveling to and from their child’s school. The feedback will help inform the Fairfax County School Board’s annual assessment of traffic and pedestrian safety near schools.
The Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Survey asks about walking and biking routes, traffic near schools, kiss-and-ride experiences, accessibility, and other safety concerns.
Your feedback will help FCPS identify common issues. Your responses will be kept confidential and shared with school administrators and the Office of Safety and Security. The five-minute survey is open through Thursday, October 15.
Be sure to identify the school related to your feedback and include specific locations where you have observed a safety issue. If you have students at different schools in FCPS, please complete a different survey for each school.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact SafeRoutestoSchool@fcps.edu.
Justice Families: Explore SafeWalkr!
FCPS Safe Routes to School is excited to invite Justice HS families to try SafeWalkr, a new interactive walking map tool developed by Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology students in collaboration with our team!
If you live within our designated walking boundary, explore information about sidewalks, road crossings, and crossing guard locations to help plan your walk to school.
Go to the SafeWalkr tool, select Justice High School, and explore a route with your child. Review current conditions and consider your child’s abilities and supervision needs before walking. The tool does not change walking boundaries or transportation eligibility. Help us improve SafeWalkr by sharing your feedback during the pilot. Thank you for supporting safe, active trips to school!
Celebrating the Power of School Lunches
Multiple studies show that school lunches are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school lunches consume more fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers.
This National School Lunch Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) reminds families that they are dedicated to providing delicious, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. New menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.
Immunization Events for FCPS Students
FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will be providing school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students, ages 18 and under, with no out-of-pocket costs. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations.
Additional dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents or guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are available.
National Hispanic Heritage Month
From September 15 to October 15, FCPS recognizes and celebrates the histories and cultures of the members of our community who trace their heritage to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

October is Disability History and Awareness Month
In Virginia during October, Disability History and Awareness activities provide an opportunity to create greater public awareness for individuals with disabilities, with the goal of full inclusion in our community.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. To help develop a common understanding of Bullying, below is the FCPS definition.
Bullying in Students Rights and Responsibilities is defined as: “Any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma. “Bullying” includes cyberbullying. “Bullying” does not include ordinary teasing, horseplay, argument, or peer conflict.”
For more information on how FCPS handles a bullying situation please visit the FCPS Bullying Prevention and Intervention webpage. Our goal is to ensure all students feel safe and welcome at school. If you have questions and/or concerns about something that is going on at school, please contact the front office so that they can support you and most importantly your student.

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.
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.
