Hello, Scottie families!  

It has been a wonderful first few weeks of school!  Our students are building classroom communities, developing skills in reading and writing, having rich conversations about math, learning about FCPS' Portrait of a Graduate attributes, and strengthening relationships through The Positivity Project's "Other People Mindset."  We are excited for all that is to come!

We had another great Back-to-School Night on Wednesday.  Thank you, parents, for attending and partnering with us in your child's education! 

Be sure to check out the PTO section below for information on joining the PTO, volunteering, spiritwear, our upcoming movie night, and more!  Contact the PTO with any questions.

Finally, as we plan for our first early release Monday on September 23, if you haven't already, be sure to submit the form right awayThank you to those who have already submitted a preference for their child, you do not need to resubmit. If you have submitted a “I don’t know” or “Haven’t made a decision” please resubmit with a decision so your child is accounted for and to help us plan for any needed supervision.  

Enjoy the weekend with your friends and family!

Make Every Day Count! The Importance of Attendance

As you plan upcoming trips and other family events, please remember the importance of sending your child to school every day. Review the FCPS School Year Calendar and try to plan any time away during breaks from school. 

Children who show up for school regularly develop fundamental reading and math skills while building a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers. Research shows that children who were chronically absent (missing 18 days or more) in kindergarten and first grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of third grade.

Learn how families can help form good attendance habits.

Early Release Mondays

To help us plan, please complete this Early Release Mondays survey for each of your children who are enrolled at Bonnie Brae Elementary. 

The form covers the first two early release Mondays, scheduled for September 23, 2024 and October 28, 2024. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms. Staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student.

Learn more about Early Release Mondays.

Arrival & Dismissal Safety

The safety of our students, parents, and staff continues to be our top priority.  Please see below for reminders of important safety procedures implemented here at Bonnie Brae during arrival and dismissal. 

BUS LOOP

  • In order for our buses to arrive and exit in a timely manner (to service the entire county), the bus loop needs to be clear of all personal vehicles at the following times:
    • 8:10-8:45 am
    • 3:00-3:45 pm

KISS & RIDE

  • Speed Limit: <5 MPH
  • Any students arriving by car must utilize the Kiss & Ride loop (or park in a designated parking space along Sideburn Road, with an adult walking their child to the front entrance)
  • Yield to all pedestrians in the Kiss & Ride/parking lot entrance and be on the lookout for staff members helping students / parents cross the entry way
  • When waiting to turn into Kiss & Ride, keep the entry and exit lanes clear of vehicles so students can cross safely with staff assistance
  • When departing the Kiss & Ride loop, please only turn right onto Sideburn Road
  • Only utilize parking along Sideburn Road that is designated for parking.  “Double parking” is not permitted by Fairfax County and is a safety hazard to arriving/departing students and families. 
  • U-Turns on Sideburn Road are prohibited by Fairfax County

WALKERS

  • Please continue to use the sidewalks to ensure safety of staff, students, community, and bus drivers
  • Students and families should cross Sideburn Road at the designated crosswalk by Nellie White Ln.

Bonnie Brae Renovation

Bonnie Brae’s renovation and addition project is moving right along.  FCPS Office of Design and Construction maintains the Bonnie Brae renovation website, and the estimated projected completion date remains summer of 2026.  Be sure to bookmark the renovation website for updates and more information.  

September 11 National Day of Service

With the upcoming 23rd anniversary of September 11, FCPS acknowledges the loss of life, the heroism of our first responders, and the resilience of our country. The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, also called Patriot Day, is a chance to reflect and act in service to others to honor those who were injured or killed in the terrorist attacks.

All FCPS students are encouraged to participate in service learning as it supports Portrait of a Graduate (POG) attributes and social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. Middle and high school students can learn more about service learning by logging into their Naviance account to access x2VOL.

Blue Star Welcome Week & Parent Coffee

Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. 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 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

Please join us on Friday, September 27, 8:30-9:15 AM in our BBES cafeteria, for our Blue Star Welcome Week Parent Coffee.

Got Plastic?  We'll Take It!

Bonnie Brae has risen to the NexTrex Recycling Challenge and has 1 year to collect 1,000 lbs. of soft film plastic to earn a new Trex furniture bench! Think Amazon packaging, grocery bags, cereal bags, bubble wrap, bread bags, you get the gist. What won’t we take? Hard plastics, like water bottles and laminate scraps, or anything with food on it. The question is not if we will meet this challenge, but how soon?

For more information about NexTrex or Bonnie Brae’s Get2Green initiative, please reach out to Michele Shirey, [email protected], or Cheryl Clark, [email protected]. We welcome parent volunteers to join our efforts and consider signing up to help take a load to a local drop off.  Thank you!

The 2023-30 Strategic Plan — Goal 1: Strong Start, Pre-K-12

The 2023-30 strategic plan sets five main goals to create positive change in FCPS. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts. 

Each goal has an equity commitment — the promise we make to every student to support them in attaining these goals. Each goal also has several measures that allow us to track our progress.

The first goal in the strategic plan focuses on each and every student having a strong start in FCPS. Whether they're joining us in preschool or in high school, we want our students to be set up for success.

See how Goal 1 is being put into practice.

Immunization Requirements 

Please check with your health care provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school

You may check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to your school’s front office. 

Alternative immunization documents (below) may also be provided to your school’s front office, but they may not be uploaded in ParentVUE:  

  • A health care provider’s written statement specifying all administered immunizations.
  • A health care provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption.
  • A notarized Religious Exemption form objecting to the administration of immunizations due to conflicts with their religious tenets or practices.

Find more information on immunizations.

A few amazing highlights that happened this week... Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!

The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits!

Help prepare your child for future success. Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies.

Labor Day

Friday, August 30, and Monday, September 2, are Labor Day holidays for all FCPS employees and students. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day.

If you would like to submit your name as a parent volunteer for Bonnie Brae, please fill out this form.  Thank you! 

Lightspeed Parent Report on Child’s Device Activity

FCPS has tools to help parents know more about their child’s activity on any FCPS device. These tools are provided at no cost to families by Lightspeed, the school division’s internet content filtering service.

Parents may sign up for a weekly Parent Report, which will provide a list of the top sites your child visited. The report also offers parents the ability to sign up for free access to the Internet Use Parent Portal. Through the portal, parents may pause their child’s access to the internet on their FCPS device during non-school hours.

Learn more about Lightspeed Parent Reports.

Cell Phones Off, Learning On

Thank you for helping to support the FCPS cell phone policy by waiting to call or text your child about non-urgent matters until the school day is over. In case of an emergency, it is always best to contact the school’s front office to reach your child during class time. 

Visit the FCPS Cell Phone Policy webpage to read more about usage policies by grade level and to share your feedback on the current cell phone policy

2024 Student Rights and Responsibilities 

FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. Read Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid’s letter to families regarding the SR&R

Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your child’s school by Monday, September 30

You can submit questions online regarding the SR&R.

2023-30 Strategic Plan: Foundation of Four Pillars

While the five goals of FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan focus on student success, the four pillars describe what FCPS must do well to reach our goals for all students:

  • The first focus of the pillars is on teaching and learning. We want to make sure each and every student has access to excellent and inclusive learning environments, and that instruction meets students’ individual needs.
  • The second pillar focuses on our connection with families and our communities. We cannot do this work alone. Strong partnerships are key to our students’ success.
  • The third pillar is centered on our hiring and maintaining a world class, diverse workforce. We want to make sure our incredible employees have what they need to help our students thrive.
  • The fourth and final pillar centers on how we bring this all together. We remain focused on creating a culture of equity, excellence, and accountability where data guides our decisions. 

Visit our Strategic Plan webpage for more information. 

Safety Drills During the School Year

Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for FCPS. Each school has an emergency preparedness plan to respond to incidents such as fires and tornadoes. Schools are required by state law to practice emergency drills, including lockdown drills, each year. Schools are also required to notify parents and guardians at least 24 hours before a school conducts a lockdown drill. However, schools are not required to give the specific date and time of the drill in advance. 

The first lockdown drill of the school year must take place within the first 20 days of school. Preschool and kindergarten students are exempt from practicing the first lockdown drill. 

Your child may come home and talk about their experience during the drill. We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of being prepared for emergencies. Please review these frequently asked questions to support your students before and after school lockdown drills.

Know Our Security Terms

FCPS uses specific terminology to describe the actions school staff and students should take to ensure safety in a variety of situations. It is important for staff, families, and students to understand what the different terms mean and how they impact school operations.

Watch this video to learn about safety terms including lockdown; secure the building; and stay put, stay tuned. 

If students, staff, or community members have a safety concern at school (that is not an immediate emergency), they should submit a tip to the FCPS Safety Tipline. In an emergency, please call 9-1-1.  

Community Conversations with Superintendent Dr. Reid

Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid invites you to share your questions or concerns regarding Fairfax County Public Schools. Your voice matters! Community Conversations will be held this Fall 6:30-7:30 p.m. on:

  • Monday, September 9, at Holmes Middle School 
  • Monday, September 23, at Newington Forest Elementary
  • Monday, September 30, at Mount Vernon Woods Elementary

Solve the puzzles, then find clues at the parks for a final meta-puzzle. Visit our wonderful local parks with friends and family. 

PTO President Needed for 2024-2025!!!

The first day of school was filled wtih lots of excitement!

Here is to a fantastic school year!

Labor Day

Friday, August 30, and Monday, September 2, are Labor Day holidays for all FCPS employees and students. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day. We hope everyone takes the long weekend to celebrate a strong start to the school year and enjoy time with family and friends. See the complete school year calendar.

Mr. Jenifer, a Father of Two Scotties, Competing at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games

Our Bonnie Brae community is excited to cheer on one of its own at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Trevon Jenifer, a father of two Scotties, is a member of the USA Men's Wheelchair Basketball Team. This is his fourth Paralympic Games. Mr. Jenifer, #16, has already taken home a bronze medal (2012) and two gold medals (2016 and 2020) in previous Paralympic Games. Let's show the world how loudly Scotties can cheer while we watch one of our own compete in Paris!

Please watch your email for a short survey from us asking if your child will leave at the early release time on these days or remain at school until the standard dismissal time. Your response will help us in planning activities for students who will need to stay at school until regular dismissal time.

  • October 28

Hello, Scottie families!  

What a fantastic Open House and Back-to-School BBQ Bash today!  Special thanks to our Bonnie Brae staff and our PTO for organizing and carrying out this great community event.  

We are looking forward to the first day of school on Monday!  On the first day only, parents (all grades) may walk their child to the classroom door if they wish, but are reminded that they should not enter the classroom.  An announcement will be made at 8:30 AM reminding all parents that they will need to exit the building so that we can get the school day (and year!) started.

Following drop off, we invite our kindergarten parents to join us in the cafeteria for a "Tears & Cheers" coffee & donuts, from 8:30-9:15 AM.

Have a great weekend!

We loved seeing all the smiles at Open House!

The Bonnie Brae Back-to-School BBQ Bash was a blast!

First Day of School

Monday, August 19, is the first day of school. See the complete school year calendar.  FCPS parents, students, and staff members are invited to share their favorite pictures or videos from the first day of school on social media using the hashtag #FirstDayFairfax. We will share some of the photos on FCPS Facebook and Instagram

Labor Day

Friday, August 30, and Monday, September 2, are Labor Day holidays for all FCPS employees and students. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day. We hope everyone takes the long weekend to celebrate a strong start to the school year and enjoy time with family and friends. See the complete school year calendar.

Parent Toolkit

There are some items families need to complete at the beginning of the school year.  Visit our Parent Toolkit webpage to access links to complete them. Items with an asterisk (*) are time sensitive and require parent action.

Kiss and Ride Location and Sign Up

As we welcome students back to Bonnie Brae ES, we want to ensure the safe arrival and departure of each child. Bonnie Brae ES has an established area called the Kiss & Ride (at our side parking lot), which is designed as a safe place for adults in private vehicles to load and unload children. Please be aware that Kiss & Ride has slightly shifted location for 2024-2025, as we will be using Design & Construction plastic barriers for our drop off/pick-up area.  The plastic barriers allow for a safe space for staff and students to walk and stand as they arrive and dismiss each day.  Be sure to follow the direction of Bonnie Brae staff to help keep everyone safe!  

If you are interested in using Kiss and Ride to drop off or pick up your child, please complete the Kiss and Ride form. Returning and new Kiss and Riders will receive new tags prior to students returning.

Kindergarten Parent Tears and Cheers Coffee

We would like to invite kindergarten parents to our “Tears and Cheers” coffee and donut gathering with the administrators, from 8:30-9:15 AM on the first day of school, Monday, August 19. This is a great way to start the year! While there will not be a formal presentation, parents will have an opportunity to meet our administrators and other kindergarten families. We look forward to seeing many of you at 8:30 AM on Monday, August 19 in our Bonnie Brae cafeteria!    

Summer Reading Choice Board

Let's continue reading this summer!  Students are invited to read and complete 15 blocks on our Bonnie Brae Summer Reading Choice Board.  Bring the choice board back to school by August 23, 2024 for a celebration of summer reading treat!

What Is a School Board?

The Fairfax County School Board is responsible for running the public schools in Fairfax County. Twelve school board members are elected by county voters every four years. 

A student representative serves on the board as a non-voting member. They are chosen by their peers each year.

The School Board makes general rules and sets guidelines to ensure Fairfax County Public Schools runs properly. They follow the laws of Virginia and the rules set by the Virginia Board of Education. 

Learning about your local school board is important. Understanding their policies and initiatives can help you advocate for positive changes and ensure that the educational needs of all students are met. There are many ways to get involved.

Learn more about the school board, how to participate in their meetings, and where to watch school board meetings.

Phones Down, Engagement Up: FCPS Cell Phone Policy

Keeping cell phones off during the school day helps students focus and learn. It also boosts positive social behavior. Review FCPS’ cell phone expectations by grade level with your child and help keep our classrooms free of distractions! If you need to reach your child during the school day, please call our main office, (703) 321-3900.

Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights

Fairfax County Public Schools wants all parents and caregivers to understand its policies regarding surveys, records, curriculum, privacy, and related rights.

In its Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights and Opt-Out Forms (Annual Notice), FCPS provides explanations of the rights listed above as well as forms that may be used to exercise opt-out choices. Two versions of the Annual Notice are available: a grades K-8 version and a grades 9-12 version. Parents/caregivers with children at different grade levels should read each applicable version of the Annual Notice, because the notices and opt-out rights vary depending on the student’s grade level.

Get more information and view the 2024-25 Opt-Out Booklets.

See you all next week, and have a great weekend!

A few amazing highlights that happened this summer...

We are ready to welcome everyone back for a wonderful new school year filled with learning!

There has been a lot of progress with our renovation! Students and families will notice a lot of changes.

First Day of School

Monday, August 19, is the first day of school. See the complete school year calendar.  FCPS parents, students, and staff members are invited to share their favorite pictures or videos from the first day of school on social media using the hashtag #FirstDayFairfax. We will share some of the photos on FCPS Facebook and Instagram

Labor Day

Friday, August 30, and Monday, September 2, are Labor Day holidays for all FCPS employees and students. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day. We hope everyone takes the long weekend to celebrate a strong start to the school year and enjoy time with family and friends. See the complete school year calendar.

Parent Toolkit

There are some items families need to complete at the beginning of the school year.  Visit our Parent Toolkit webpage to access links to complete them. Items with an asterisk (*) are time sensitive and require parent action.

Kiss and Ride Sign Up

As we welcome students back to Bonnie Brae ES, we want to ensure the safe arrival and departure of each child. Bonnie Brae ES has an established area called the Kiss & Ride (at our side parking lot), which is designed as a safe place for adults in private vehicles to load and unload children. With the cooperation of all drivers, we will be able to provide an efficient and safe transfer of children.

If you are interested in using Kiss and Ride to drop off or pick up your child, please complete the Kiss and Ride form. Returning and new Kiss and Riders will receive new tags prior to students returning.

Kindergarten Parent Coffee

We would like to invite kindergarten parents to our “Tears and Cheers” coffee and donut gathering with the administrators, from 8:30-9:15 AM on the first day of school, Monday, August 19. This is a great way to start the year! While there will not be a formal presentation, parents will have an opportunity to meet our administrators and other kindergarten families. We look forward to seeing many of you at 8:30 AM on Monday, August 19 in our Bonnie Brae cafeteria!    

Summer Reading Choice Board

Let's continue reading this summer!  Students are invited to read and complete 15 blocks on our Bonnie Brae Summer Reading Choice Board.  Bring the choice board back to school by August 23, 2024 for a celebration of summer reading treat!

New Student Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year

To plan for staffing to support your child, we request that you begin the registration process as soon as possible.

Online Kindergarten and new student registration is available.

Contact person: Jenny Rios Godoy

Eligibility: A child who will be age 5 on or before September 30, 2024. (Children born after September 30, 2019 are ineligible to attend kindergarten for the upcoming school year.)

Support Your Child's Success - SIS ParentVUE

Access your student’s attendance records, grades, and assignments at any time with SIS ParentVUE. Parents/caregivers should receive an activation code when they register their child. Contact the school registrar Jenny Rios Godoy, if you need a code. 

Once you have activated a SIS ParentVUE account for an FCPS student, you will keep the same account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same SIS ParentVUE account. Access SIS ParentVUE using an app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. 

Need help creating an account? This video walks through the steps. Find out more about SIS ParentVUE

To be sure you receive important information from your schools, update your phone numbers and/or email addresses in the Parent/Guardian section of SIS ParentVUE.

Update Immunizations and Records

Immunizations are required for all students to attend school in Virginia. This is an important part of protecting them from certain diseases and keeping them healthy. Please log in to SIS ParentVUE to see what immunizations your child has recorded. 

Please check with your healthcare provider to make sure your child is up-to-date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia as soon as possible. If your child needs a vaccine, please make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or access other local services.

Remember to request your child’s immunization record and bring that to the school’s front office or submit the record via SIS ParentVUE as soon as possible. Find more information

Early Release Mondays

As a reminder, FCPS elementary schools will have limited early release Mondays during the upcoming school year. The goal is to provide elementary teachers with additional time to meet new professional development requirements for the Virginia Literacy Act.

You can help us with planning for the seven early release Mondays. Please watch your email for a short survey from us asking if your child will leave at the early release time on these days or remain at school until the standard dismissal time. Your response will help us in planning activities for students who will need to stay at school until regular dismissal time.

We realize there are many details for us to finalize before our first early release Monday in mid-September. Thank you for your patience, we strive to create a positive and successful experience for students, families, and teachers. 

Early release Mondays for our school include:

  • September 23
  • October 28
  • November 25
  • February 24
  • March 17
  • April 28
  • May 19

To help plan for our school’s childcare needs during the early release Mondays, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/LpwRhtomocauubX67 for each of your children who are enrolled at Bonnie Brae Elementary. The form covers the first two early release Mondays, scheduled for September 23, 2024 and October 28, 2024. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms. Staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student.

Learn more about Early-Release Mondays.

Bookmark the School Year Calendar

Be sure to bookmark the FCPS school year calendar to keep track of school holidays, breaks, and observances:

  • Days marked with a blue “H” are student holidays. Schools are closed on these days.
  • Days marked with an orange “O” are religious and cultural observance days (or evenings if only half marked). There is school on these days, but certain events that cannot be made up may not be scheduled on these days. 
  • Days marked in pink are holidays for students, but working days for teachers and staff.

Note: Some holidays and observances, such as Eid al-Fitr, may shift and the calendar may be adjusted.

Opt-Out Information and Booklets

The 2024-25 Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights and Opt-Out Forms flyer is now online Families can find explanations of rights as well as forms that may be used to exercise opt-out choices on the Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights and Opt-Out Forms FCPS webpage.

Food and Nutrition Programs Dietary Accommodations Information

The Office of Food and Nutrition Services now has a standardized process for dietary accommodations to ensure the provision of safe and healthy food for students. Available forms include Medical Dietary Accommodation, Dietary Accommodation Discontinuation, and Milk Substitution.  Each form only needs to be filled out once while students are enrolled at FCPS.  Visit the Dietary Accommodations page to learn more and to access the forms.

Free and Reduced Price Lunch Information

Learn more about the criteria and process to apply for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch by visiting the Free and Reduced-Price Meals page.

Student Accident Insurance Program

Fairfax County Public Schools does not provide medical insurance for accidents that occur at school. Parents can purchase “at school” accident insurance or “24 hour” accident insurance (12 months a year). This is a low-cost insurance program for families to defray medical or dental expenses that results from an accident involving their child. More information can be found on the FCPS public site at Voluntary Student Insurance.

INOVA Back to School Pediatric Health Fairs

Inova Cares Clinic (ICC) will provide children ages 5+ with free school entrance physicals and immunizations at summer health fairs for children on Medicaid or who are uninsured. The clinics will take place 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on the following dates:

  • Saturday, August 17, at ICC for Children - Falls Church

Appointments are required. No walk-ins will be allowed. Call 703-698-2550 for an appointment.

Free Workshops for Families

Parents and caregivers can access free webinars, confidential consultations, a lending library, and resources to help adults support the success of all students, including those with learning challenges, special needs, and disabilities. Learn more about the Family Resource Center (FRC).

In September, the FRC will host webinars for families on supporting siblings of children with disabilities, helping students organize their school work, working with children who like to push boundaries, and teen development and well-being. Sign up for the FRC newsletter for their latest offerings or visit their webinar website.

Refreshments and light food will be served.
