Dear Eagle View Families,
As the weather has turned noticeably colder, we want to remind everyone to dress students warmly for outdoor arrival, recess, and dismissal. Cold mornings are here, and layered clothing, coats, hats, and gloves will help keep our students comfortable throughout the day.
This week, our sixth graders enjoyed an informative visit to Katherine Johnson Middle School. During the trip, students had the opportunity to meet teachers, learn about middle school schedules, and explore the wide range of electives available to them. This experience is an important step in supporting a smooth transition to middle school, and it was wonderful to see our students return feeling confident, prepared, and excited about what lies ahead.
Please remember that we have an Early Release Wednesday coming up this week. Thank you for planning accordingly and for your continued partnership in supporting our students.
Finally, as we look ahead, Winter Break will begin on December 22 and continue through January 2, 2026. We hope this time provides your family with opportunities to rest, recharge, and enjoy time together.
Thank you, as always, for your support and for being an important part of our school community. Stay warm and have a great week ahead!
Sincerely,
KJ An
Principal
Get ready for a fun-filled Spirit Week! Students and staff are invited to participate in themed days throughout the week as we celebrate school spirit and community. Spirit Week is a great way to spread joy, show pride in our school, and brighten these cold winter days.

Tuesday: Candy Cane Day (Wear Red and White)
Wednesday: Fuzzy/Festive Socks Day
Thursday: Ugly Sweater Day
Friday: Holiday Pajama Day
We can’t wait to see everyone join in the fun!
We are committed to partnering with families to promote positive attendance habits. Any day that your child is unable to attend school, parents should report the absence. By reporting absences, families are partnering with our staff so that everyone can make sure students are supported and have access to resources.
Full-day absences can be reported in SIS ParentVUE. Parents can also report absences by calling our school attendance line at 703-322-3131 or emailing
eagleviewelem.attendance@fcps.edu. School staff will call parents if students are absent, and our school has not been notified in advance.
Parents can monitor their child’s attendance records in SIS ParentVUE.
Attendance Codes in SIS ParentVUE Explained
Attendance codes in SIS ParentVUE are assigned by school staff to better identify the reasons behind student absences. This allows us to respond thoughtfully and provide appropriate support. Visit the FCPS Attendance Policy webpage to learn more about the codes.
When Your Child Is Sick
It is also important to keep your child home when they are sick. The Can My Child Go to School? webpage provides helpful recommendations on when to keep your child home.
For instance, as long as they are feeling like they can participate in school activities, a child should attend school if they have cold symptoms. However, if they have severe, uncontrolled, or rapid coughing; wheezing; or difficulty breathing, definitely keep them home and contact your health care provider.
A list of resources has been compiled for students and families in case they or someone they know needs assistance while schools are closed for winter break. Please visit FCPS’ winter resources page for information on academic support, mental health support, and county resources related to food, clothing, housing, and other needs.
Even If School Is Closed, Learning Can Continue!
We encourage students to take advantage of fun learning opportunities during the upcoming winter break and on snow days. Consider these winter activities to blend education and play at home.
