Congratulations to Bryant High School Counselor, Ms. Stephanie Lemus-Ortiz, a Pete Warren Student Fellows scholarship recipient. This scholarship recognizes outstanding graduate counseling students across Virginia who demonstrate leadership potential, academic excellence, ethical integrity and a strong commitment to the counseling profession. |
Greetings Bryant Families!
The second quarter is off and running, and our students haven't missed a beat! We are looking forward to celebrating their hard work and accomplishments this Friday, November 13, during our First Quarter Student Recognition Ceremony.
I am excited to share that our Wednesday Late Bus Program has launched! Students can now stay after school on Wednesdays until 4:45 PM and take the late bus home, if they are a regular bus rider. To participate, students must sign up in advance through a Google form located in the All Students course in Schoology. We will be adding various clubs and activities on Wednesday afternoons throughout the year, so stay tuned for more details!
For our February Graduates, the February Graduation (Feb. 11 at 11:00 AM) is only 3 months away. We want to ensure all our February graduates stay on track so we can celebrate their milestone! Over the next three months, we will closely track senior academic progress. The best way to monitor your senior's progress is through ParentVue. If you do not have an active ParentVue account, please stop by the main office, we would be happy to help you set one up!
Take Care!

November Is National Family Engagement Month
Family Engagement Month is a time to remember that families are children’s first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers.
The FCPS Family Academy supports the continued success and well-being of each and every student within the FCPS community. The Academy offers a variety of positive and engaging learning opportunities and meaningful connections to transform the FCPS experience into a welcoming environment for all families.
Growing Together: Talking About Social-Emotional Learning at Home
Social-emotional learning (SEL) helps children develop confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and other important skills that support their success in school and throughout life. Participate in a Family Cafe workshop to:
- Understand your child’s Fairfax County SEL Screener results.
- Use the SEL Screener results as a starting point for meaningful conversations at home.
- Support your child’s social and emotional development.
- Build confidence, resilience, and lifelong skills together.
Learn practical ways to talk with your child about their social and emotional well-being and support their continued growth at home. Events will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on:

Childcare will be available. Interpretation services are available upon request. For more information, contact the Family and School Partnerships office at 703-204-4300 or FamilyEngagement@fcps.edu.
SAT/PSAT School Day Scores Available
Students who participated in the School Day SAT/PSAT on October 7 are now able to access scores via the College Board BigFuture School App or their College Board accounts. Students who participated in a make-up test will have access to scores on Thursday, November 5. Video tutorials for accessing and understanding PSAT and SAT scores are available on the College Board website.
Tutoring Resources for Families
Some families may be looking for additional resources to help support their child’s academic success. The Family Resource Center (FRC) maintains a list of FCPS employees who hold a valid Virginia teaching credential and who are available to hire as a tutor. This list is a resource offered by the FRC, but families are responsible for contacting and working directly with the tutors. This list is not approved by FCPS and is only meant as a resource to families.
Immunization Events for FCPS Students
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.
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. Additional immunization resources are also available.
Please Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets, which is in the upper right corner of the screen after logging in. Please complete it as soon as possible. Students will be bringing the form homes on November 5.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is how we ensure we receive all the resources available to us from the federal government. For more information, please visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.
Register for ParentVUE
Learn how to activate your SISParentVUE account so you can easily submit your survey and have access to other helpful information about your child.
Federal Student Aid Form Open
Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form allows you to be considered for federal student aid. In addition, states and colleges use FAFSA information to award their own grants, scholarships, and loans.
The 2027-28 FAFSA is now open.
Free Financial Aid and Scholarship Information Sessions
College Access Fairfax, in partnership with Fairfax County Public Schools, will present virtual information sessions on the financial aid process for post-secondary education and scholarship information.
