Demonstrating leadership, service, and school pride, Ryan O’Donnell, a senior at South County High School, gave back to the Silverbrook community by designing and building a custom wooden podium as his Eagle Scout project. The podium will be used for school ceremonies, special events, and celebrations for years to come, providing a lasting contribution benefiting students, staff, and families alike. Ryan’s dedication, craftsmanship, and commitment to service reflect the values of both Scouting and the Silverbrook community.

Medications
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. At Silverbrook ES, medication must be picked up by 1:35 pm on Wednesday, June 17. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
Student Intent Form 26-27
As we plan teacher staffing for the next school year 2024-2025, we need your help to determine our enrollment numbers.

School Board Adopts Fiscal Year 2027 Approved Budget
On May 21, the Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Approved Budget, continuing FCPS’ commitment to sustaining excellence by prioritizing competitive compensation and strategic investments that support student success.
The adopted budget reflects the division’s ongoing efforts to navigate a challenging fiscal environment shaped in part by chronic state underfunding and economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the budget maintains key investments and restores several reductions made during the prior fiscal year. Read about the FY 2027 Budget.

We recognize Juneteenth, a celebration and commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
