Individual families have received eligibility notification and information about this orientation session. This session will be from 5:30-6:30pm in the Lecture Hall at Rocky Run Middle School. If you have any questions, please contact your school’s Advanced Academic Resource Teacher. (Cub Run ES - Naomi Egerton Baker, nhegertonbak@fcps.edu)
Cub Run Family Input Form for 2025-26 Class Placement
With the end of the year quickly approaching, we are already looking ahead and planning for 2025 -26 school year. Family input forms are due by May 2, 2025. We value your feedback and insight into your child’s learning needs. Thank you for your input!
SCA Spirit Day: Pajama Day-May 2
Chronic Absenteeism
For school year 2024-2025, school accreditation ratings in Virginia are based on student performance across nine school quality indicators within the state’s new Student Performance and Support Framework (SPSF). One of these indicators is chronic absenteeism. Chronic Absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of the school year, regardless of reason and whether the absence was excused or unexcused. A student is determined to be chronically absent if the rate of their days absent divided by their total days in membership is greater than or equal to 10%.
As of April 23, Cub Run's chronic absenteeism rate is at 10.4%. As we finish out the remainder of this school year, we will continue to update this percentage with you in hopes that we can move into an acceptable chronic absenteeism rate of 10% or lower.

Positivity Project
This week, our school community is focused on the character strength of Humor. Humor means enjoying laughter and bringing smiles to others.
Humor helps us see the lighter side of things, making tough times easier and more fun. It doesn't mean you have to tell jokes, but people with humor often notice the funny moments in life and share them with others. Humor can lift people's spirits and help them through challenges. It’s important to help students understand how to use humor in a kind way, to lift others up, and never at someone else's expense.
To practice and encourage the character strength of humor at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.
Thank you for your support!
