 On October 16th, 14 Mountain View High School students launched an exciting year-long partnership with AXEL Makeup Academy during an immersive field trip to their local studio. Axel Vasquez, founder and owner of Axel Makeup Academy, is an alumnus of Mountain View High School. During the visit, students got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at a professional makeup demonstration—just the start of what’s to come. Each month, AXEL instructors will engage with our students by visiting our school (or inviting the students to the Academy) to teach hands-on beauty techniques and to mentor students on careers in cosmetology and professional makeup artistry. As an official Fairfax County Public Schools partner, AXEL is helping us inspire the next generation of creative professionals!

Registration is not required, but it helps with planning.
Regular attendance is a good habit to establish in childhood. It can lead to greater success in high school, college, and careers. Teachers and students miss your child when they can’t make it to school. If you or your family need support, please reach out to your school's front office. We are here for you!
If students miss too much school, school staff may reach out to the family to partner with them on addressing barriers to regular attendance. Visit the FCPS website for attendance resources.
 Mountain View High School kicked off Virginia College Application Week on Tuesday, October 20th, with a Financial Aid workshop led by ECMC representative Mr. Puryear. As an official partner school, Mountain View is offering dedicated in-school application support and has received fee waivers for Virginia Colleges to help students apply. From October 19th through October 30th, Mountain View is hosting two full weeks of spirit days, awareness events, and lessons and workshops to inspire students as they explore their post-secondary options—including trade schools, military pathways, community colleges, and universities. We look forward to supporting and celebrating every student’s next step!
Please remind your student that personal electronic communication or computing devices should be off and personally stored (i.e., in backpacks) for the duration of the school day: bell to bell.
This includes personal laptops, tablets, smartwatches, smartphones, and similar devices. Students can only use FCPS-issued devices for school-related digital activities during the instructional day. There are exceptions for students with disabilities and those enrolled in specific courses.
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please call the school’s front office. Learn more about the FCPS cellphone policy and device policy.
- The annual flu vaccine is the most effective way to protect your child from getting sick and to prevent the spread of illness within our classrooms. Staying up-to-date with your child's flu vaccination helps:
-
Reduce School Absences: Keeping students healthy means more time spent learning and engaging with peers.
-
Protect the Community: Vaccination helps shield vulnerable family members and neighbors from seasonal illness.
-
Support Overall Wellness: Routine flu shots are a key component of a proactive student health plan.
Upcoming Flu Shot Events
FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will be providing flu shots for all FCPS students, ages 18 and under, with no out-of-pocket costs. Multiple events will be taking 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.
