A Message from Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

This Friday is the halfway point of 3rd quarter. Teachers will be sending home updated progress reports to all families by 3:30 pm this Friday, 3/6. Please review your students’ current academic progress with them. It may only be early March, but the end of the year will be here before we know it. Should you not receive progress reports by the end of this week, please reach out to your student’s assistant principal.

Students who are struggling with academics and attendance may be required to attend after school and Saturday School sessions. If that is the case, you will receive an email from us. We recognize requiring attendance after school or on weekends may be challenging for some students and families, and we remain committed to ensuring all students find success and pass their classes this year. Please continue to encourage daily, on-time attendance. There is a strong correlation between chronic absenteeism and lower grades based on our data from last year. We greatly appreciate your support.

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

Principal

Become Unskippable: Share the Facts About Fentanyl With Teens

Talking with teens about the facts of fentanyl is a conversation you can’t skip. Learning about fentanyl gives teens a better understanding of the risks and effects of the drug, and what they can do to keep themselves and their communities safe. 

Share these important facts with your child:

  • Even half a fentanyl-laced pill can be fatal. Just a few salt-sized grains of fentanyl are enough to cause an overdose.
  • More than half of local street pills contain a deadly dose of fentanyl. As of 2023, seven in 10 counterfeit pills in the U.S. contain enough fentanyl to cause a fatal overdose.
  • Fentanyl is usually taken accidentally. Many people have no idea they’ve taken it until they overdose because you can’t see, smell, or taste it in pills and powders.
  • Overdose can happen in an instant. In as little as four minutes, the lack of oxygen can lead to brain damage and even death.

Learn more about how to have conversations with your child in a way that will make you Become Unskippable.


No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for All High School Students

Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? If so, you may refer your child for weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS Teletherapy webpage for information on this service.

This information can be found each week in this newsletter under the Weekly Reminders section.
