📰 What's Happening at Mosaic?
Our students and staff enjoyed a fun Spirit Week!
❗Beyond the Bell/SACC Closed on November 11
Wednesday, November 11 is a regular school day. Please note that Fairfax County’s SACC and Beyond the Bell programs are closed on November 11 due to a county holiday.
🪖Veterans Day: Wear Red, White, and Blue!
On Veterans Day, students are invited to wear red, white, and blue to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Please note that Veterans Day is a regular school day.
🧥Lost and Found Items
Many unclaimed coats and sweatshirts from our Lost and Found were recently donated to charity. Please label your child’s clothing, lunch bags, and water bottles with their name. When items are labeled, we can return them to their owners.
📝Complete the Federal Impact Aid Survey Online
The Federal Impact Aid Survey is available online in ParentVUE. We encourage families to complete it online. Your response helps FCPS receive eligible funding by identifying military and other federally connected families, including families living on a military base.
Please complete one survey for each child. Only the parent who enrolled the student with FCPS can submit the survey, and all information will be kept strictly confidential.
To find the survey, sign in to ParentVUE and select Online Registration or Online Packets, then choose Federal Impact Aid Survey. Paper copies will be sent home this week to families who have not yet completed the online survey. If your family receives a paper copy, please complete, sign and return it to school as soon as possible.
Translations of the survey are available in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Urdu, and Vietnamese. Please contact the Mosaic front office if you need a translated copy.
If you have trouble completing the survey, try signing in to ParentVUE using Google Chrome. For help accessing ParentVUE, contact the Mosaic front office.
📸Fall Picture Makeup Day – November 12
School pictures will go home this week. Students who were absent on picture day or whose families would like a retake can have their fall picture taken on November 12. Please contact the school office and your child’s teacher to request a retake. For questions about pictures or payments, contact Victor O’Neill Studios using their website or by phone at 703-532-0013.

📚Notes from the Library
Our Mustangs love to read! However, sometimes they forget to return a book, or a book gets misplaced. It happens! Printed overdue notices will be coming home this week, but remember that there are no overdue fees in our library. These notices are friendly reminders to return books we have not seen in a while. If a book is missing or damaged, please communicate with us and we can come up with a solution together. As always, if you have any questions about our library program, please reach out to our librarian, Mrs. Brown.
🎨Art to Remember Fundraiser
Our school is partnering with Art to Remember for a creative fundraiser featuring keepsake products customized with your child's art. With 60+ items (many under $20), these make great gifts and a portion of every purchase supports our school.
📚🎂Books and Bundts
We all know that reading enriches our brains, increases vocabulary, and introduces us to many exciting adventures. To celebrate our love of reading, we are thrilled to partner with Nothing Bundt Cakes-Vienna (129 Maple Ave. W) as we invite ALL Mosaic Mustangs to participate in their sweet Books and Bundts reading program! The program is simple: encourage your child to read 400 minutes a month (20 minutes a day) and record their books on the Books and Bundts Reading Tracker page, which they can get from their teacher.
Bring it to the Nothing Bundt Cakes in Vienna and receive a FREE bundtlet and award certificate to celebrate their fantastic accomplishment! You can repeat this every month from now until March 31, 2027. If you have any questions, please contact Courtney Stevens, our Reading Specialist, castevens@fcps.edu.
