Hello, Dolphin Families!

We had a chilly week at school, but our building always feels warmer when our dolphins are here! We truly miss our students when they are out, and every day in school is a chance to learn, grow, and connect.

A huge thank you to everyone who made Family Science Night such a success! We appreciate our PTA for organizing, our volunteers for their time, and all the families who came out to enjoy a night of exploration and discovery.

With flu season in full swing, we want to remind everyone to take steps to stay healthy. The Fairfax County Health Department has reported high levels of flu in our community, especially among children. To help reduce the spread of illness, please encourage your child to cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands often, and stay home if they have a fever until they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours without medication. You can find more guidance on when to send your child to school Lake Anne Elementary.

Stay warm, stay healthy, and we look forward to seeing all our dolphins next week!

Warmly,

Jill D. Stewart, principal

Melanie N. Porter, assistant principal

Lake Anne ES Local News Student Rights & Responsibility Review- Students Selling Items at School

We want to send families a gentle reminder that students are not permitted to sell items at school. While we love to see their entrepreneurial spirit, selling anything—whether it’s candy, cookies, toys, or other items—can cause disruptions to the school day and lead to unintended issues. Please remind your child that all sales should happen outside of school. Thank you for your understanding.

 

CURRENT 6th Grade ONLY: VDH Immunization Packets for Rising 7th Graders 

As required by the Code of Virginia, parents or legal guardians need to provide proof of immunizations for their child to attend public school. All students entering seventh grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations: 

• Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap) given at age 7 or older.
• Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) given at age 10 or older.
• A complete series of 2 doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. 

• After reviewing educational materials approved by the Board of Health, the parent or guardian, at the parents/guardians sole discretion, may elect for the child not to receive the HPV vaccine.

Parents/guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with their child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. If your child does not have a health care provider, please visit the FCPS Immunizations Resource page to find out where to get an immunization.

Please review the Virginia Department of Health Information Packet for more information on rising 7th grade immunization requirements.

HEALTH ALERTS: 🤧 Protect Yourself and Your Community From the Flu

Fairfax County is experiencing very high levels of influenza (flu) illness. The Fairfax County Health Department reports that visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers for flu-like illness have increased, especially among children, and multiple flu outbreaks have occurred in our community and school settings. Read a letter from the health department. 

The health department suggests taking the following steps to reduce the spread of flu and other germs:    

• Cover coughs and sneezes. If you must be around others while ill, wearing a mask can help reduce spread.
• Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers when soap and water are not available (with supervision for younger children).
• Clean frequently touched surfaces.

According to the health department, to help prevent or reduce the spread of illness it is important for individuals who are sick to stay home and away from others until symptoms improve and until they have been free of fever for at least 24 hours. Visit this Attendance webpage for guidance on when your child should go to school. 

 

Lice Prevention Information What if I don’t get rid of head lice after treatment?

Consult your healthcare provider.

How can the spread of head lice be stopped?

The key to successful eradication of a head lice infestation is
to break their life cycle through proper treatment.

Will I ever get rid of head lice?

YES, it will end, but it takes time. Don’t get discouraged! The
main reasons for continued infestations are:

• Did not follow directions on the product.
• Did not remove all lice or nits.
• Did not treat the environment thoroughly.

REMEMBER:

Each person with head lice needs a complete treatment. Do not split a single box of shampoo or container of rinse treatment between those that are infested.

 

There is NO proof that the following treatments work:

• Vinegar Compounds that claim to dissolve the glue on the nits “to ease their removal”

Mayonnaise

• Olive Oil
• Tea Tree Oil
• Lotions that claim to “suffocate” lice
• Petroleum jelly
• Other household chemicals, including: kerosene, gasoline, paint thinners and turpentine

Who should I notify if my
child has head lice?
• Pediatrician
• School Health Room
• Playmates and close friends
outside of school

FCPS District News 📐 Breaking Down the Budget: Supporting Academic Growth and Algebra by Eighth Grade

The FCPS Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Proposed Budget invests in academic growth and excellence for each and every student, which is one of the priorities of the FCPS Strategic Plan. 

Since the 2023-24 school year, FCPS has seen a 9.5% increase in eighth graders taking Algebra I or more advanced math and a 6.8% increase in fifth graders in advanced math.

Studies show that students who complete algebra in middle school have more opportunities to take advanced math and science courses in high school. This can open up new academic paths for students! Watch a video that shows why eighth grade algebra matters. 

Learn more about the FCPS FY 2026 Proposed Budget.

Hello, Dolphin Families!

Today was a truly wonderful day! Lake Anne was filled with kindness, joy, and friendship as our students celebrated Valentine’s Day together. It’s always heartwarming to see the care they show for one another, and we are grateful to be part of such a supportive and compassionate community.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Family Game Night! It was wonderful to see so many families laughing, playing, and spending quality time together.

🐻 It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!

Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, between January and April. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us prepare and ensure we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school. 

Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage.

✨ A strong start is Goal 1 of the 2023-30 Strategic Plan. 

 

Learn More About How Your Child Feels at School

The Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener will be administered to students in grades 3-12 in March. Students use the SEL Screener twice a year to share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop the skills they need to succeed. The screener works by asking questions or presenting statements that students can think about and respond to. This gives students a way to share how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.

After each screening, results are available in the Documents tab of SIS ParentVUE and mailed to families who do not have a ParentVUE account. For more information, including SEL Screener questions and opt-out information, please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. 

 

Make Sure Your Children Are Up-to-Date on Immunizations

Please make sure your child has all of their necessary immunizations. Remember, all students are required to be immunized against certain diseases to attend school in Virginia. This is an important part of keeping children healthy!

Starting Monday, May 19, students who have not provided proof of immunization may not be allowed to attend school. You can check your child’s immunization status and submit updated immunization information by accessing SIS ParentVUE. 

Please check with your healthcare provider to make sure your child is up to date on required immunizations for the 2024-25 school year. If your child needs an immunization, make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or view other Immunization Resources. Be wise and immunize!

Principals' Message

We hope that everyone has had a FIN-tastic start to February!

This week, we were finally able to enjoy some much-needed outdoor recess—on both playgrounds! With one of our playgrounds temporarily closed due to snow, our dolphins showed great patience, and we truly appreciate their flexibility. Now that both spaces are open again, it’s been wonderful to see students playing, exploring, and enjoying the fresh air together.

We’re also looking forward to seeing many of you tonight at 5:30 for Family Game Night! It’s always a great opportunity to connect, unwind, and share some friendly competition. If you haven’t made plans yet, we’d love for you to join us!

Another way to support our school is by participating in the PTA-sponsored fundraiser at Mod Pizza this Sunday. Visit Mod Pizza at 11642 Plaza America Dr., Reston, VA 20190, and use the fundraiser code MODGIVES25 at checkout—every purchase helps support our school!

Looking ahead, there’s talk of potential winter weather next week. Please make sure you’re signed up for weather alerts and keep an eye on local news for any updates regarding school delays or closures.

As always, thank you for your continued support. We appreciate our incredible school community!

Have a wonderful weekend!

FCPS Proposed Budget Progress

The Fairfax County School Board discussed the FCPS Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Proposed Budget at their work session on February 4. They discussed details regarding student enrollment and investments in students requiring additional support, market comparison data for surrounding school divisions, and an update on progress toward achieving the Baldrige Award for Performance Excellence. Baldrige is a framework used to assess and improve organizational performance across various sectors, including education. 

The School Board also held a public hearing on February 4, where they invited the community to share their feedback on the proposed budget.

 

On Tuesday, February 18, the Fairfax County executive will present the county’s Advertised Budget, and the School Board will hold a work session on FCPS’ FY 2026 Proposed Budget. View the Budget Development Calendar.

 

Breaking Down the Budget

More than 85% of the budget is dedicated to instruction and reflects the needs of our community’s young people in response to the changing world around us. Budget priorities include providing competitive compensation for all employees, including a 7% salary increase for all staff.  

Our families want their children in high-quality schools with the best teachers who provide rigorous academic experiences. FCPS must provide competitive compensation to attract and retain our outstanding educators, administrators, and other school-based and operational staff dedicated to the success of our students. 

The proposed 7% salary increase would likely move FCPS to the highest starting salary for teachers with a master's degree among our neighboring counties and greatly improve our recruitment efforts amidst an ongoing teacher shortage. Visit the Budget webpage for more information.

Dear Dolphin Families,

This week was full of excitement! Our Winter Music Concert showcased the incredible talents of our chorus, strings, and band dolphins, reminding us of the importance of performing arts in our school community. Music and the arts provide our students with opportunities to express themselves, build confidence, and collaborate. A huge thank-you to our music teachers and families for their support!

Another highlight of the week—our dolphins finally got to enjoy one of our reopened playgrounds for outdoor recess! After many days indoors due to weather, the joy and energy they brought to the playground were a reminder of how important movement and play are for our students.

This upcoming week, we celebrate National School Counseling Week and recognize the incredible impact of our school counselors, Ms. Palatucci, Ms. Penning, and Ms. Roberts! They support our dolphins academically, socially, and emotionally through classroom lessons, small groups, and individual support. We are so grateful for their dedication to helping our students thrive every day! Learn more about the role of school counselors through

Health Alert Series- Head Lice, Part 3

This week, we’re sharing a step-by-step guide to effectively treating head lice.

How to treat Lice

1. Use an FDA-Approved Product: Over-the-counter and prescription treatments are available.
2. Follow Instructions Carefully: Read and follow all product directions.
3. Comb Thoroughly: Use a fine-tooth nit comb to remove lice and nits.
4. Disinfect Combs & Brushes: Soak in hot water (130°F) for 5–10 minutes or in anti-lice shampoo for 1 hour.
5. Check Hair Daily: Continue manually removing nits for two weeks after treatment.
6. Retreat as Directed: Follow the recommended schedule on the product label.
7. Monitor for 2–3 Weeks: Check every 2–3 days to ensure lice are gone.

Misconception Alert!

There is NO proven evidence that the following treatments work:
🚫 Vinegar or compounds claiming to dissolve nits
🚫 Mayonnaise, olive oil, or tea tree oil
🚫 Lotions that claim to "suffocate" lice
🚫 Petroleum jelly
🚫 Hazardous chemicals like kerosene, gasoline, paint thinner, or turpentine (these are dangerous and should never be used!)

Next week, we’ll share tips on preventing head lice. Stick to safe, proven treatments to eliminate lice effectively!

CAUTION:

Children under two years of age or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use an anti-pediculosis product.
Persons with chronic illness or the elderly should consult their healthcare provider.

Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid presented the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Proposed Budget at the School Board meeting on Thursday, January 23. Watch a video of the presentation. 

As Dr. Reid noted in her January 24 letter to families, “The budget is fiscally responsible and invests in excellence — not just for FCPS, but for all of us in Fairfax County who want a strong community with successful young people, dedicated educators and support staff, and a thriving economy.” 

The proposed budget reflects the needs of and FCPS’ commitments to Fairfax County students, families, and community members. It focuses on competitive compensation, including a 7.0% salary increase for all staff to recruit and retain our outstanding educators, administrators, and other school-based and operational staff dedicated to the success of our students; investing in students who require additional support; and continuing multiyear initiatives such as inclusive preschool and safety and security updates.

Principals' Message

Dear Dolphin Families,

This week brought some two-hour delays due to weather, but our students showed great flexibility in adjusting to the schedule. While they’ve been making the most of indoor activities, many are eager to enjoy outdoor recess again. We encourage everyone to dress warmly and take advantage of the weekend for some fresh air and outdoor play.

A big thank-you to everyone who made our Career Day a success! After a multi-year hiatus, it was wonderful to see such strong participation. Based on the overwhelming positive feedback, we’re excited to continue this tradition with more career-focused events in the future.

We also want to emphasize the importance of consistent attendance. Currently, 15.5% of our students are missing instruction—roughly a quarter of our school community. This impacts not just individual learning but also the classroom dynamic. We truly miss our dolphins when they’re out and appreciate your efforts in prioritizing attendance so we can learn and grow together.

Upcoming Events:

• January 26: PTA Ice Skating Event @ 3:10 PM–5:10 PM
• January 27: Winter Music Concert @ Langston Hughes Middle School, 6:00 PM–8:00 PM
• January 28: End of Second Quarter

Lastly, as temperatures drop, please ensure students dress warmly with coats, hats, and gloves, as we aim to go outside for recess whenever possible. If your family needs assistance with winter clothing, please contact us—we’re here to help!

Thank you for your partnership, and have a safe and rejuvenating weekend.

Warmly,

 

Mrs. Jill D. Stewart, Principal

Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

Health Alert Series- Head Lice, Part 2

This week in our head lice informational series, we’re sharing important information on identifying and treating lice. Early action is essential to effectively manage lice and prevent them from spreading.

Signs & Symptoms

• Itching and Scratching: Commonly on the back of the scalp, neck, and behind the ears.

• Sores on the Head: Often caused by scratching.

• Visible Lice or Nits: Nits are small white eggs that stick to the hair near the scalp.

• Remember: Nits stick to the hair and cannot be brushed off like dandruff or dirt. Some children may not show symptoms, so regular checks are recommended.

What to Do if Someone in Your Family Has Lice

• Examine Everyone: Check all family members for lice or nits.

• Treat Promptly: Begin treatment for all infested individuals.

 

 

Next week, we will discuss How to treat for lice.

 

CAUTION:

Children under two years of age or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use an anti-pediculosis product.

Principals' Message

Dear Dolphin Families,

As we head into a weekend full of reflection and celebration, we want to recognize the significance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the upcoming presidential inauguration, and Orthodox Epiphany. These moments remind us of the power of community, justice, and hope.

Attendance Update: We are so close to reaching our goal! Last week, we were just shy of our 10% chronic absenteeism goal. However, as we approached the weekend, our rate shifted to 13.3%. Every day in school makes a difference for our dolphins' learning and growth. Let's continue working together to bring that number down and ensure our students are present and engaged each day.

Looking Ahead:

• Monday, January 20: School Closed in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

• Remember: Consistent attendance helps our dolphins thrive both academically and socially. Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to our shared goal.

Wishing you a meaningful weekend with your loved ones.

Warm regards,

 

Mrs. Jill D. Stewart, Principal

Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

❄️January Calendar Events & Reminders

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 20, for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. 

Observed on the third Monday of January each year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was officially signed into law in 1983. Dr. King dedicated his life to the non-violent struggle for civil rights and played a pivotal role in the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In Dr. King's own words, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." 

Orthodox Epiphany

We would like to wish a joyous Orthodox Epiphany to those in our community who celebrate! This falls on Sunday

Health Alert Series- Head Lice, Part 1

Over the next few weeks, we will share information on head lice treatment and prevention as part of an informational series. Head lice are a common issue that families can manage effectively with the right knowledge and steps. Early detection and proper care can prevent the spread and protect children's health.

Who gets head lice?

ANYONE can get head lice, especially pre-school and elementary children (ages 3-12) and females. Lice spread more often from family members and playmates than classmates. Cleanliness is not a factor.

What are head lice and nits?

Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that feed on blood from the scalp. Nits are their eggs, small white sacs near the scalp. Each female louse can lay 7-10 nits daily, and they hatch in about 7-10 days.

How do they spread? Lice spread through direct contact with an infested person or indirect contact with items like brushes, combs, clothing, bedding, and upholstered furniture.

Next week, we will share information about:

• Signs & Symptoms
• What to do and how to treat for lice if something in your family has it.

Principals' Message

Dear Dolphin Families,

We hope everyone had a restful winter break. After a few unexpected snow days and a delayed start this week, we’re thrilled to have students and staff back in the building, ready to dive into the rest of the school year with renewed energy!

As we step into 2025, we remain focused on our three core values: Rigor, Relationships, and Respect. These guide everything we do, ensuring our students are engaged, supported, and valued.

Time to celebrate our fin-tastic attendance! Let’s continue to prioritize being present and ready to learn each day so we can all finish the semester strong! Every Child. Every Day. On Time. Our goal is to bring our chronic absenteeism rate to 10%, and we’re making great progress! Currently, we stand at 10.6%, significantly down from almost 20% this time last year—Bravo! The new year brings the perfect opportunity to reset and keep building on this success. Together, we can make every day count!

Next week, we are excited to host the Dual Language Information Night on Thursday, January 16th at 6:30 PM. Please note the date change due to the snow days.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Let’s make the most of this new year and work together to help each student succeed!

• Restart Student Laptops: Friendly reminder to please encourage your child to restart their laptop to allow for any necessary software updates. This is important to ensure the devices run smoothly and are ready for use in class. We appreciate you helping us with this!
• Lost and Found: Be sure to check the Lost and Found for any missing items once back from break. Many things get left before long breaks. Lost and Found will remain open our first week back. All items left after January 10, 2025 will be donated.

January- National Mentoring Month

Imagine a world where young people feel empowered, encouraged, and understood. Mentors can make that world a reality by helping young people find and follow their passions, excel in school, and thrive wherever they are.Learn more about Mentoring Month.

Research has shown that young people with at least one trusted mentor are less likely to skip school, less likely to use illegal drugs or drink alcohol, and more prepared to enter college or the workforce. Yet one in three children lack a mentor.

All it takes is one person to serve as a trusted adult to help change a young person’s path in life. Mentors provide attention, support, and enrichment, and help connect their mentees to resources that may help them on their journey in life.

The FCPS MentorWorks program matches mentors with students in schools near where they live or work. They meet for at least 30 minutes a week. Learn more about how to become a mentor for an FCPS student. Contact Martha Macdonald, mentoring specialist, for additional information at [email protected].

Principals' Message

Dear Dolphin Families,

What an incredible start to our "10 Days of December" spirit week! The energy and joy throughout our school have been contagious, and it's been wonderful to see everyone coming together to celebrate the season. 

Last weekend, our chorus students delighted us with their performance of "Jingle at the Lake"---a true highlight that started our week off right! Their hard work and beautiful voices brought the season's cheers to our entire community. 

As we look ahead to the final week before winter break, the celebration continues! On Thursday, December 18, our third through sixth grade students will get a chance to welcome Hughes Middle School's chorus students as they sing in this year's Winter Celebration. We wonder if any chorus members are former Dolphins? Band students will also get a chance to shine by spreading even more joy by playing carols in the main lobby. 

As we enjoy these special events, please remember that attendance matters every single day, especially as winter break approaches. Each day provides important opportunities for learning and connection, and we want all of our Dolphins to finish 2024 strong!

Thank you for your continued support and for making this season so special for our students and staff!

 

Warm regards,

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Jill D. Stewart, Principal

Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

Dear Lake Anne Families,

It’s been a busy and exciting week at Lake Anne Elementary, full of activities that brought our community together!

We wrapped up a successful Book Fair—thank you to everyone who supported it. We also appreciate all who came out Wednesday night for the read-aloud event that was in connection with the Book Fair. Families gathered to enjoy stories like I Am Not a Monster by Sharon Peterson and Max Ryan, which teach lessons about self-acceptance, kindness, and understanding differences. It was a heartwarming experience for all who attended! Along with the fair, we kicked off our Attendance Challenge, and we’re excited to see which class will be the first to win the super cool prize for perfect attendance! Be sure to check in with your child to hear all about it.

We also celebrated National Cookie Day on December 4 with some sweet treats, and this morning, our Dolphins braved the chilly weather for a fun Walk & Roll event!

A big congratulations to our incredible Science Olympiad team for their outstanding achievements this week. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication! 🏅

Principals' Message

Dear Lake Anne Families,

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended the Thanksgiving luncheon. Seeing so many of you truly brightened the day and reminded us how fortunate we are to be part of such a supportive and caring school community.

As we approach Thanksgiving break, we also want to celebrate an exciting achievement: our chronic absenteeism rate has dropped to 10.3%—the lowest it’s been since September 5th! This improvement is a testament to the dedication of our students, families, and staff in prioritizing education. Thank you for your continued commitment to making attendance a priority!

Next week, school will be in session on Monday and Tuesday. These two days are essential for wrapping up current lessons and ensuring students are prepared for a strong return after the break. Consistent attendance is key to keeping your child on track academically and building habits for long-term success.

We know the holiday season can be a busy time, but let’s keep the positive momentum going by ensuring your child is present both days next week. Together, we can finish the month strong!

Every student matters! Every day matters!

Mrs. Jill D. Stewart, Principal

Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

FCPS is working with K12 Insight to host a community forum for families, staff members, and students to provide feedback on the school division’s cell phone policies and practices, and the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) document. FCPS is looking for more student participants (grades 3-12) to help ensure diverse perspectives from our community.

 

The community forum will be held on Tuesday, December 10, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Willow Oaks Administrative Center. If your student is interested in providing feedback, please visit the Cell Phone Policy Forum registration page to learn more. Families must register their child by Monday, November 25.

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.

Please register in advance by clicking on the date. Language interpretation will be available. 

If you are unable to attend on this date, view the full list of meetings on the Comprehensive School Boundary Review webpage.

Dear Lake Anne Families,

As Thanksgiving break approaches, we want to take a moment to reflect on some recent events.

We had our PTA meeting on Wednesday, where the LAES Wellness Team shared additional tools and strategies to further support caregivers in fostering student engagement and well-being. Their insights offered new ways to continue meaningful conversations with students and reinforce their overall wellness and success.

On Thursday, we hosted our Advanced Academics Information Meeting, which provided families with valuable insights into the pathways available to support and challenge our students. Thank you to everyone who attended!

We also participated in the Annual Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on Friday,  a powerful event honoring Ruby’s courage and her contributions to civil rights. Walking in her footsteps reminds us of the importance of inclusion and equity, values we proudly uphold at Lake Anne.

A special THANK YOU to our Safety Patrols and upper-grade students who escorted our younger Dolphins, helping make this event meaningful and ensuring a safe, welcoming environment for all!

A Quick Note About Attendance
Thanksgiving is just around the corner! We hope you enjoy the break, and let’s continue to prioritize full school days until then—attendance is key!

Every Student Matters. Every Day Matters.

Mrs. Jill D. Stewart, Principal

Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

Hello Dolphin Families,

We hope you all are having a fantastic November! Here at Lake Anne Elementary School we definitely are!

Our 4th grade Dolphins made waves at the Kennedy Center, experiencing the magic of "Let's Build an Orchestra."

A big fin-tastic thank you to our PTA and all the Dolphin Pod Squads who joined us for our monthly Walk & Roll. Your support continues to make our school community stronger.

We also want to express our gratitude to everyone who participated in our Veterans Day observance. It was a heartwarming event that honored our heroes. The musical selections from our Band and Chorus students brought the ceremony to life, filling the room with beautiful melodies and patriotic spirit.

Looking Ahead:

On November 14th at 9:30, we will be celebrating Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. We would love for our Lake Anne Families to join us for the unity walk. Let's come together as a community to celebrate diversity and kindness!

As we dive into the winter months, please remember to stay warm and safe. We look forward to many more exciting adventures together.

Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

📍 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. 

Services for Hearing-Impaired and Visually-Impaired Students

Students with sensory disabilities require specialized services and support to access instruction that is typically presented visually and auditorily (by means of hearing). FCPS provides educational services to students who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or visually impaired. They are supported in various settings, including at their school or through itinerant specialists who travel to different schools to work with students, rather than being based in a single school. Learn more about Services for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and Services for Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired.

Visit the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) website for Resources for Serving Students with Sensory Disabilities.

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.

Medicaid and Medicare Changes

Starting December 18, 2024, the State of Virginia is changing how Medicaid and Medicare work together for some  Anthem members. This change will affect members who have both Medicaid and Medicare.

What's Changing?

• One Health Plan: Starting January 1, 2025, one health plan will manage both your Medicaid and Medicare benefits.
• Potential Disruptions: This change may disrupt your current health services, especially if you receive home health care.

What Can You Do?

If you have Anthem Medicaid and your Medicare is with another company, you can take action now to avoid disruptions:

1. Change Your Medicare Plan: By changing your Medicare plan, you can keep your Anthem HealthKeepers Plus Medicaid on January 1 and beyond.
2. Update Your Address and Verify Your Eligibility
   • Contact your local social services agency or call Cover VA at 833-522-5582 to report any changes to your mailing address
   • If you have lost your Medicaid coverage and believe you are still eligible, contact Cover VA at 833-522-5582 to inquire about reinstatement.
