Message from the Principal

Hello Glasgow Families!  Thank you for joining us at Back to School Night last week.  If you didn’t have a chance to hear from Dr. Ricardy Anderson, our School Board member, you can find it here. We are looking forward to the Cross Country running season with our first meet at Key Middle School on October 3!  Go Panthers!

Thank you for your continued partnership-

Blue Star Welcome Week For Military Families

“Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate, and schools are a primary way they get integrated into their new location. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community. 

Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 26 through October 4, 2026, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS”
