Dear Families,
As we prepare for the final week of school, we are excited to invite you to our end-of-year celebrations on Friday, June 12. Students will enjoy a fun-filled Field Day, and families are welcome to join us for our annual Family Picnic as we celebrate another successful school year together. Following Field Day, we encourage everyone to stay and cheer on our 5th-grade students and staff during the much-anticipated soccer game. For the convenience of our families, buses will be provided from the Willston Center to the school so everyone can join in the festivities. We look forward to celebrating with you and creating lasting memories as we close out the school year.
With appreciation,
Principal Vega
We are Family

Calendar Survey
FCPS values your input as we plan future school calendars. On Friday, June 5, all caregivers and FCPS staff will receive an email from noreply@fcps.edu containing a unique link to complete the FCPS Calendar Survey.
Your feedback matters. Please take a few minutes to share your priorities and perspectives by Monday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m.
Your individual responses will be kept confidential and will not be shared with school staff or used in any way that identifies you or your student. Only aggregate, summary-level results will be reported to the Fairfax County School Board.
If you do not receive a link to the survey or have technical difficulties completing the survey, please contact the FCPS Office of Research and Program Evaluation.

Budget
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.
