Financial Assistance
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides financial assistance to households with eligible children. TANF participants also have access to the Virginia Initiative for Education and Work (VIEW) Program to support the journey to self-sufficiency.
Food Assistance
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides individuals and families with money to purchase food at grocery stores, farmers markets, and select other retailers. Participants receive funds monthly through a EBT card that works like a debit card. Learn more about SNAP and how it can help you.
The Wolf Shack is the PTSA-sponsored in-school food and resource pantry. In the Wolf Shack, we provide FREE essential resources for ALL Justice students - from food and fresh produce to personal toiletries to clothing to academic supplies to after-school snacks. Our Wolf Shack volunteers support over 1,000 student visits a month during weekly open hours on Wednesdays & Thursdays. The Wolf Shack can also be accessed anytime for emergent needs through teachers, social workers, family liaisons and counselors. The Wolf Shack is fully dependent upon the financial and in-kind donation support of our partners, families, staff and community. We have two upcoming opportunities for the community to support our students!
Leftover or Extra Halloween Candy Drive starting October 28th
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 or leftover 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! Want to drop your candy during non-school hours? No problem - just email wolfshack@justicehsptsa.org for alternative bin drop locations.
On Friday November 6th, Justice High School hosts the annual, highly anticipated football "Bell Game" against Falls Church High School! Our larger community truly comes together for this much anticipated game every year. This year the Wolf Shack will be holding a "Stuff the Van" food and toiletry drive before the game and through half time to stock the student resource pantry. Come join the community, enjoy the family-friendly rivalry and concessions, watch our award-winning marching band..and bring along food or toiletries to support our students! Even if you don't stay for the game, drop off donations and say hello. We will be in the parking lot near ticket sales and the entrance starting at 6pm - hope to see you!
Can't make game night, but want to donate? 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!

This week we celebrate the important work school psychologists do to help all students thrive.
School Psychology Week is this week of November recognizing the contributions of school psychologists in supporting students with mental health needs, conducting special education evaluations, and creating safe and inclusive learning environments. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) have deemed this week's recognition theme as "Inspire Connection" which is focusing on school psychologists building meaningful relationships with students and staff within their school. Jaelin Kelly and Jin Kim are Justice's School Psychologists. We celebrate the two of them and all of their support and collaborations with various departments and staff as well as always having the best interest of our students as their core focus!

November is National Career Development Month
By enrolling in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) course or program, students learn the technical applications of many occupations while preparing for higher education or entry-level employment. A core program of CTE courses is offered in every middle and high school. Based on the needs of the populations served, each school determines optional courses to be offered. Learn more about Academies and Specialized Programs.
November is Native American Heritage Month
Native American Heritage Month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native Americans. It is also a time to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges they have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges. Learn more about the heritage months, celebrations, and traditions celebrated in FCPS.
November is National Family Engagement Month
This month reminds us that families are children's first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers. Strong family support is vital to student well-being and success.
FCPS has many resources designed to increase engagement and partnerships with families while fostering academic success and social-emotional growth.
Additionally, every school has a family liaison who will welcome and orient families, and help them understand the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices. They can help connect families to resources in the community. Family liaisons might also assist a family in transitioning to a new school and encourage family-school partnerships to help ensure their student's success and healthy development.
If you have questions or would like more information, ask your school office to connect you with your family liaison or visit FCPS’ website for a list of region representatives.
Partners for Safe Teen Driving
The State of Virginia requires students and their parents or legal guardians to attend ONE session of Partners for Safe Teen Driving in order to receive their Pink Card (DEC-8). The 90-minute session requires participants to be actively involved during the presentation.

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.
