Greetings, Glen Forest Families! 

This school year is flying by! Over the next week and a half, our students will be celebrating all they have accomplished this year. I want to continue to emphasize the importance of attendance, even in the final stretches of the school year. Last week, 5th grade won our school-wide attendance challenge! We can't wait to see you all next week; who will win?!

 

📝 Student Testing Results Coming Soon

Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website. 

How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines

Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.

📈 New SOL Growth Reports for Grade 3-8 TestsVirginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.

In order to help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring. 

The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year. 

Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.Support Your Child’s Success in SIS ParentVUE Signing up for a SIS ParentVUE account helps you to support your child’s academic success.

In the month of June, we recognize the resilience and determination of the many individuals who are fighting to live freely and authentically. We stand with those facing an ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice. This Pride Month, we affirm our obligation to uphold the dignity of all people. Each individual in our school community should feel valued for who they are. Learn more about the heritage months, celebrations, and traditions celebrated in FCPS.

 

 View the Fairfax County School Board resolution honoring Caribbean American Heritage Month.

In June, people throughout the United States celebrate National Caribbean American Heritage Month. Caribbean American heritage includes a kaleidoscope of languages, customs, music, art, and cuisine that have enriched communities. This exploration offers an opportunity to dismantle stereotypes and misconceptions, replacing them with a nuanced understanding of the interconnectedness and shared human experiences that connect us.
