This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

As we close out the last day of school for 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on what a special week it has been. Our building has been buzzing with festive energy, from winter-themed activities to the joy of seeing our students embrace the holiday spirit. A highlight of the week was the house pep rally followed by our very first house meeting, which brought us together as a school community in celebration and connection.

I’m also thrilled to take this opportunity to recognize and congratulate our outstanding employees for the 2024-2025 school year. We are incredibly fortunate to have such talented and committed individuals at EVES!

Outstanding Teacher: Mrs. Carlie Oddo-Bennett
Outstanding Operational Employee: Mrs. Susan Smith
Outstanding Leader: Ms. Kaitlin Wilson
Outstanding Professional Employee: Mr. Tony Mossburg

As we head into a well-deserved two-week winter break, I want to thank you for the love and support you have shown our school. Your partnership makes all the difference in creating an environment where our students can thrive.

We are eager to welcome everyone back in 2025 for a fresh start, including a month filled with spirit days to keep the energy and excitement alive as we kick off the new year together.

Wishing you and your loved ones a warm holiday season filled with joy, peace, and cherished moments. Happy New Year—we’ll see you in January!

Sincerely,

Dear Families,

As the weather grows colder and winter settles in, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication our students continue to show. I would also like to express my gratitude to our amazing staff, whose dedication and creativity make learning fun and engaging for our students every day. With winter break right around the corner, we are excited to finish the week strong!

We’re especially looking forward to next Friday, when we will wrap up the week with a House Pep Rally and our very first House Meeting!

This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

What an eventful and heartwarming week we've had at Eagle View! Our Thanksgiving Luncheon on Wednesday and Thursday was a tremendous success, and it was truly wonderful to see so many of our families join us. The joy and togetherness you brought into our school warmed our hearts and reminded us of the incredible community we are so fortunate to have.

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you—our students, families, and staff. Your support, kindness, and partnership make Eagle View an extraordinary place to learn and grow.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

With gratitude,

Social and Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon

One of the ways FCPS supports the mental wellness of all students is through the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. In October, students in grades 3-12 took this screener, which gives information about their skills such as achieving goals, handling emotions, building relationships with adults and peers, and making good choices.

The screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. Screener data is used to create learning, experiences, and environments for students to succeed.

In early December, families will be able to view student SEL Screener results in SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent by mail.

Learn more about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For help understanding your child’s results or ideas to support them at home, review the Family Guide or contact us.

Register for ParentVUELearn how to activate your ParentVUE account, so you can easily access your child’s results and other helpful information.

❄️ Preparing for Winter Weather

Winter weather will be here before you know it! Watch this video to see how weather-related closing decisions are made.

FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.

Be sure to plan for the winter season. Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE, bookmark the FCPS website, and arrange for childcare if needed.

Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities

We will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories which may prevent children from being outside. Make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. See the National Weather Service’s tips on staying safe during cold weather.

If you need assistance supplying your child with cold-weather clothing, please call Fairfax County's Coordinated Services Planning at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and health care.

Boundary Review Community Meeting

Community meetings regarding FCPS’ comprehensive boundary review will take place in each of the division's six regions. You are encouraged to attend the meeting in our region, which will take place on Monday, December 2, 6:30-8 p.m., at Westfield High School (Cafeteria) If you are unable to attend on this date, please view the full list of meetings on the Comprehensive School Boundary Review webpage.

This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Greetings Eagle View Families!

We kicked off the second quarter with excitement and pride by celebrating 359 of our students for their incredible commitment to attendance through our “Perfect 10” program! At Eagle View, we’re dedicated to reducing chronic absenteeism and fostering a culture of consistent attendance. This means encouraging every student to be here, every day. Through our "Perfect 10" program, we look forward to recognizing more and more students who achieve ten consecutive days of perfect attendance without tardies. The 359 students who were recognized for Perfect 10 are entered for a chance to win a special Cotton Candy party with me—a fun way to show our appreciation for their dedication! The next “Perfect 10” recognition will be on November 20th, so let's keep up the fantastic attendance!

This is a friendly reminder that November 11th is a student holiday. We will be holding our annual Veteran’s Day celebration on November 12th.

Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey

FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available online in SIS ParentVUE. If you have not already filled out the form online, we will provide paper forms in November. Please be sure to return them by Friday, November 17.

Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important, because information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.

Please watch this video and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page for more information.

Need to Register for ParentVUE?

Learn how to activate your SIS ParentVUE account, so you can easily submit your survey.

Technical support for using ParentVUE or completing the survey online is available by submitting a Parent Support Request ticket. Select SISParent in the Application dropdown menu and type Federal Impact Aid Survey under Issue Description. Or, call the Parent Technology Help Desk at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS).

📍 Boundary Review Community Meetings Start This Month

As a reminder, FCPS has started the process of reviewing school boundaries across the division. This important work will help the district better support student population growth, changes in school capacity, and evolving community needs. Community input is vital to this process. With that in mind, FCPS, in partnership with Thru Consulting, will be hosting a series of community meetings in each of FCPS’ six regions. Participants are encouraged to share their thoughts, ask questions, and learn more about the boundary review process.

Please visit FCPS’ website for meeting dates, locations, and other information. Sign up for the School Boundary Review newsletter for updates.

IEP Palooza and Community Resource Fair

Parents/caregivers, school staff, and students over the age of 14 are invited to attend an interactive event celebrating the individualized education program (IEP) process. The IEP Palooza and Community Resource Fair will take place on Saturday, November 16, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m., at Jackson Middle School.

The event is sponsored by Fairfax County Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA). Activities include simulated IEP meetings, break-out sessions on the various parts of an IEP, and a resource fair to learn more about community supports. Register in advance.

Tutoring Resources for Families

Is your family looking for resources to help support your child’s academic success? FCPS’ Family Resource Center (FRC) maintains a list of district employees who hold a valid Virginia teaching credential and who are available to be hired as a tutor by parents. FRC maintains this list, but families are responsible for contacting and working directly with tutors. This list is not “approved” by FCPS and is only meant as a resource.

FCPS also partners with Varsity Tutors to provide students and families with extra resources for learning. Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors' services at no cost, including weekly live online classes, on demand 24/7 chat tutoring, essay editing, study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests.

✨ FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan Goal 3: Academic Growth and Excellence, reminds us of our commitment to supporting each and every student and helping them meet or exceed high academic standards.

This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

As we wrap up a successful first quarter, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your partnership and support. Your involvement is a vital part of what makes our school community thrive, and we couldn't do it without you!

Please remember that November 4th and 5th are student holidays. We look forward to welcoming our students back on November 6th. Additionally, we are excited to honor our veterans and active military members with a special Veteran's Day Celebration on November 12th. If you or a family member have served or are currently serving, we would be honored to have you join us. Kindly fill out this Google form by November 6th to let us know you'll be attending.

Congratulations to our students who achieved Perfect 10 attendance from October 18-31! We will be recognizing these dedicated students on November 6th.

Lastly, want to wish a very Happy Diwali to all who celebrate. May this festival of lights bring joy and prosperity to you and your loved ones.

Thank you again for your continued support and partnership. Together, we make Eagle View a wonderful place to learn and grow.

Warm regards,

KJ An

Got left over Halloween Candy? Donate them to Operation Shoebox Candy Drive!

Eagle View's SCA is proud to present Operation Shoebox: Candy Drive to collect candy for our troops deployed abroad. We are turning this into a friendly competition. Help your house win this candy drive! The winning house will be announced at our Veteran's Day Celebration on November 12th!

Elementary School Language Arts Grading Updates

Our teachers have been hard at work teaching with the new Language Arts curriculum, and we are excited to help all of our students become strong readers and writers! This year we also have new assessments, which is how we check if your student needs extra help with reading and writing, and new Standards of Learning (SOLs).

Because of these changes, we are now teaching all of the Language Arts skills your child needs to know (and checking if they need extra help) throughout the whole school year, instead of different skills each quarter. While these skills will be new to your child in the beginning of the year, the goal is for your child to grow strong in all of their new skills by the end of the year.

This means that when you get your child’s progress report next month, it might look different. Your child’s teacher will give you more information on the new progress reporting and how we’re making sure your child is getting any extra help they might need. You can also find more information on FCPS’ Grading and Reporting webpage.

We will also have new ways for you to help your child practice their reading and writing skills at home. These resources are coming soon!

This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

It’s hard to believe that the first quarter is coming to an end! This week, we hosted a Coffee with the Principal in partnership with our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher and Reading Specialist. Parents joined us to learn about the new language arts curriculum and the continuum of services in advanced academics. It was wonderful seeing so many families engaged and connecting with each other. Our next Coffee with the Principal will be in November, where we’ll explore the “HOUSE SYSTEM.” We encourage you to join us and learn about how our house system fosters teamwork and a sense of belonging at Eagle View.

This week, we also celebrated 10 students whose names were drawn for Ice Cream with the Principal as a part of our Perfect 10 attendance award. These students enjoyed ice cream with me as a reward for their dedication to being at school on time for 10 consecutive days. We look forward to continuing to celebrate more students for Perfect 10 attendance this Thursday, October 31st. We are proud of all our hardworking eagles and their commitment to showing up ready to learn each day!

Here are some reminders for the coming week:

Monday, October 28th, will be a three-hour early release. If you indicated that your child will stay until 4 PM, there is no change to their dismissal time; otherwise, dismissal will be at 1 PM. Please plan to meet Kindergarten students at the bus stop three hours earlier. The early release does not affect our preschool program, as Preschool and PAC students will remain until 4 PM, and AM/PM ECCB classes will follow their regular schedule. Buses will run as usual at 1 PM and 4 PM for students needing the later pick-up, and SACC will be open for afternoon students, closing at the regular time.
Thursday, October 31st is the last day of the first quarter, with students being dismissed two hours early at 2:00 PM.
Friday, November 1st will be a holiday. School is closed on this day.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to an engaging second quarter!

Sincerely,

KJ An

Principal

This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Greetings Eagle View Families,

We kicked off this week with a delicious lunch generously prepared by one of our fabulous Eagle View families, Mr. and Mrs. Cromwell! We are so grateful for their kindness and the amazing meal they provided.

We also celebrated Digital Citizenship Week with a fantastic spirit week. It was truly amazing to see so many students and staff dressed up in orange for Unity Day to stand against online bullying. The participation and spirit throughout the week were truly inspiring!

Thank you for your continued support of the Boosterthon! Today, our students wrapped up our two-week-long fundraiser with a thrilling Zombie Run, and it was a blast! We couldn’t have done it without the incredible help of our parent volunteers. You all made this fundraiser a huge success—thank you!

Speaking of success, don’t miss out on our new student acknowledgment system, the Perfect 10! Students with perfect attendance for ten consecutive days starting October 1st were celebrated this week. Their names are entered to win an exciting ice cream party with the principal—who wouldn’t want that? Remember, every day counts! Consistent attendance not only helps students stay on track academically but also gives them the chance to participate in exciting incentives like our Perfect 10 ice cream party. We can’t wait to celebrate even more students in the next round of Perfect 10!

Lastly, on Monday, October 21st, join us for Coffee with Principal at 8:15 AM in the library! This is a joint meeting with our Reading Specialist, Mrs. Anthony, and Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, Mrs. Sharpes. You will learn about the continuum of services in Advanced Academics Program and the new Language Arts curriculum and how you can help your child with Reading at home. Childcare will be provided.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Warm regards,

KJ An

Principal

Attendance Matters! Celebrating small successes at Eagle View!

At Eagle View, we are committed to reducing chronic absenteeism and fostering a culture of consistent attendance. We encourage all students to come to school every day, and we're excited to recognize students for their efforts with our "Perfect 10" program. On October 17th, we celebrated 354 students who achieved ten consecutive days of perfect attendance without tardies. These 354 students’ names have been entered for a chance to win a special ice cream party with our principal, Mrs. An. The next “Perfect 10” recognition is October 31st.

Consistent attendance is key to academic success, as students who attend school regularly are more likely to stay on track with their learning and build positive habits for the future. Remember, every day counts!

This Week at Eagle View... Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful fall weather! We had another fun and exciting week at Eagle View.

This week, our PTA kicked off the Boosterthon Fun Run, our biggest fundraiser of the year. The funds raised will support important projects like water bottle refill stations, outdoor improvements, STEM Week, Literacy Week, and much more. The two-week fundraiser will end with our exciting Zombie Fun Run on October 18th, and we hope to see you there!

Last Wednesday was Custodian Appreciation Day, and in true Eagle View fashion, we celebrated our wonderful custodians all week this week, showing them how much we appreciate their hard work and dedication to keeping our school clean and safe.

We also celebrated our 5th grade students this week for earning 1st place for best attendance! Attendance matters, and it’s so important that our students come to school each day. Let's keep up the great work!

Mark your calendars for October 21st at 8:15 AM for Coffee with the Principal. I’ll be joined by Mrs. Sharpes, our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, and Mrs. Anthony, our Reading Specialist. They will share an overview of our Advanced Academic Program and our new literacy program, Benchmark Advanced, along with tips for supporting reading at home.

Lastly, October 14th is a student holiday. We look forward to seeing our Eagles bright and early on Tuesday morning!

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,

Multiple studies show that school lunches are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school lunches consume more fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers.

This School Lunch Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services reminds families that they are dedicated to providing flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. Also, new menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.

Want to know what’s for breakfast or lunch? Nutrition Services now has printable menus.

Talking Points pulls information directly from SIS, and we cannot edit, add, or delete numbers in the application.
