Principal's Message
Hello Bruin Families,
Bravo to our LB Theatre for their production of Cinderella. We were especially pleased to have Superintendent Reid and School Board Member Sizemore-Heizer join us. It was a beautiful show.
Please also see the Bruin Kudos section below. We enjoy showcasing our student successes and this week features some amazing Jazz musicians, DECA entrepreneurs, and our JROTC JLAB Academic Team. Well done, Bruins!
As February wraps up, we're excited about all that's happening at Bruin Nation! Despite the cold weather, we're heating up with the State Gymnastics Finals, which we're thrilled to be hosting! The date has moved a few times due to the snow in Southern Virginia, but we're excited for the first day of competition on February 28.
Thanks to our students, teachers, and families for their continued dedication. More updates on upcoming events in March will be shared soon.

Ramadan begins at sundown on Friday, February 28. This day is an evening-only observance day. There is school on these days, but certain activities that cannot be made up can not take place after school. See the complete school year calendar. Throughout the year, as we celebrate and recognize various cultural holidays and observances, families are encouraged to contact their child’s Subschool Assistant Principal regarding accommodations, including but not limited to those around lunch, prayer/meditation and silent reflection spaces and times, and instruction.
As a reminder, per FCPS Regulations and Guidelines, parents need to provide written permission for students to visit the Prayer Room during instructional time. If you have not yet given that permission for your child, you can do so in one of two ways:

New Information and Important Reminders
Parent Tech Talk
To keep your students safe online, ask your child to:
CHECK YOUR COMMENTS AND IMAGES. Have you posted anything inappropriate or illegal, like threats, nudity, alcohol, or drugs?
TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT WHAT’S OK TO POST. Agree that you won’t post embarrassing or hurtful comments or images of each other. Be clear that you’ll delete – or if needed, report – any posts that are inappropriate, illegal, threatening, or could get you in trouble.
REVIEW YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS. Always ask yourself – what is on my profile and who can see it?
KNOW YOUR FRIENDS, CONTACTS, AND FOLLOWERS. These are the people who can see, share, and comment on what you post so you want to be sure you can trust them. Block and report anyone who makes harassing, threatening, or inappropriate comments.
KEEP AN EYE ON 3RD PARTY AND CONNECTED APPS. Some of these will allow you to log into one app using account information from another. Be careful, as this may allow the company access to your profile information.
DON’T FORGET MOBILE. When you use mobile devices like smartphones and tablets to post something or check in, you could also be sharing your location. Check your settings to make sure you’re only sharing what you want to.
REPORT. You have the right to be safe online. If anyone cyberbullies you, make a report to the website or app. If anyone shares or asks you to share sexual messages or images, make a report to CyberTipline.org.
