Help us recognize our amazing Laurel Ridge staff by nominating an employee for an FCPS Outstanding Employee Award! Every year, Fairfax County Public Schools celebrates the remarkable efforts and accomplishments of both school-based and non-school-based employees across the district. The process starts at the school level, proceeds to the pyramid, and then to the region where one individual from each category is awarded an outstanding employee award.

You may nominate one employee per category using the Google Nomination Form.

Award Categories are:

  • Outstanding Teacher
  • Outstanding New Teacher
  • Outstanding Principal
  • Outstanding School-Based Professional Staff Leader
  • Outstanding Educational Services Employee
  • Outstanding Operational Services Employee

Eligibility requirements vary by category. Substitute teachers and Fairfax County Government employees (school health nurse or health aide) are not eligible for this award.

The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, October 30, 2026.

Thank you for helping us recognize the incredible people who make Laurel Ridge Elementary special!
