Here's the answer to this week's joke:Because he had no body to go with! 🎃💀
Dear Amazing Navy Families,
We have officially wrapped up our first quarter! This is a wonderful time to pause and reflect on all that we have accomplished so far, celebrate our growth, and think about the goals we would like to set for the next quarter. This connects beautifully with our Portrait of a Graduate skill of being a Goal-Directed and Resilient Individual.
We also want to remind you that there is one more week to nominate one of our outstanding staff members for the FCPS Outstanding Employee Awards. If there is a Navy staff member who has made a difference for your child, family or the community, we encourage you to take a moment to recognize them. You can find the nomination information and link below.
It was so much fun to see so many of our students dressed up as their favorite book characters today! Thank you for helping make Book Character Day such a special and joyful celebration of reading.
We wish you and your family a safe, festive, and fun weekend! Enjoy the fall weather and time together.
Sincerely,
Jason, Barbara, and Kim

Dear Navy Families,
As part of our social-emotional and life skills counseling lessons, we are implementing a new Student Recognition Program this school year. This consists of students being nominated by their teacher at the end of each month for demonstrating the counseling topic of the month. The topic for the month of October was Responsibility. Thus, 2-3 students per class have been nominated for demonstrating this specific trait in class throughout the month. The counselors will recognize them with a special recognition card as well as a small treat. Parents, feel free to reach out to the school counselors if you have any questions regarding this program.
Hear From Parents, Students, and Others at the Special Education Family Conference Opening Session
The annual Special Education Family Conference, Stronger Together: Connecting Families and Schools, will take place on Saturday, November 14, at Hayfield Secondary School.
New this year, the conference will open with an inspiring panel discussion featuring voices from across our school community: an FCPS student, a high school principal, a community partner, and an FCPS parent.
Panelists will share personal experiences and practical ideas for building supportive, inclusive communities where students can thrive both in and beyond the classroom.
Register to attend and visit the Special Education Family Conference webpage to learn more about the panelists. Email questions to SpecialEdFamilyConf@fcps.edu.
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.
