Speaking of the PTA, please join us for the last PTA meeting of the month this evening at 8:00. PTA Zoom Link This will be a great time to hear about all the great things the PTA has in store for next year.
As the current academic year draws to a close, we are proactively planning for the 2025-2026 school year and the important process of class placements. We highly value parental input and invite you to complete the Parent Input Form for 2025-2026 Class Placement . Your insights will be carefully considered during our upcoming placement meetings. Please submit this form by May 23, 2025.
As part of our commitment to creating a safe and focused learning environment for our students, our school is using a classroom management tool that will help teachers better connect with student devices during classes. We are continuing to expand our use over the coming weeks. This tool will provide teachers with a number of helpful features:
- Easily view student screens in real time from the teacher console to see which students may need guidance or support.
- Focus student attention on a particular website on their device to minimize distractions.
- Pause student access to the internet to focus on other classroom tasks.
We believe this classroom management tool will allow us to maximize class time to support your student’s learning while at school. Please note that student devices will not be monitored outside of school hours. The regular filters remain in place on school devices, but once they are home, teachers cannot monitor students. As parents, we would like to encourage you to sign up for your own Lightspeed reports, which will allow you to see how your child is spending time on the computer during and after school hours.
Fairfax Villa Elementary School is pleased to announce that we will have community peers in our preschool program. The early childhood special education staff members have been investigating the possible opportunities for our students to participate in integration activities with typically developing peers. This will involve teaching preschoolers with delays and without delays in the same classroom. It can provide young children with a more stimulating environment, teach coping skills in a variety of situations, and provide the opportunity to practice appropriate social skills. If you have a child between the ages of 3.5 to 5-years old and are interested in a free, full day preschool program (Monday-Friday) for the 2025-2026 school year, please contact Sara Lohr at stlohr@fcps.edu
We will be having a preschool playdate on Monday, May 19 at 2:00pm. Your child will have the opportunities to interact with our PM preschool students on the playground. At the same time, we will be meeting with to answer any questions you may have about the program.
This Spring, our third through sixth graders will take the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Assessment. Please see below for the specific test dates and do your best to avoid scheduling appointments for your student on those days.
