June 10 Last Day of School for PAC Students
June 11 Last Day of School for K-5 Students
 Bren Mar Park's annual International Night is a celebration of the cultures represented in our school community. Many thanks to Shannon Springfield and Ren Walker who coordinated this special event.
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medications stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form (s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

During a report to the School Board this month, FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid announced plans to continue limited early release days in elementary schools and shift them to Wednesdays for the 2025-26 school year. This plan is based on recommendations from the Early Release Steering Committee. The committee includes parents, caregivers, school-based staff, and central office personnel. Read more about the reasons for early release and the proposed early release dates.
Throughout May and June, you will receive your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, there is a list of tests by grade level on the FCPS website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families. Individual test websites provide report translations and help for interpreting test results. Please contact us with any testing questions or for additional information about how we use test results to support student success.

Brandon Harding, 3rd Grade Teacher
This will be my 8th year teaching and my fourth year with third grade!
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from West Liberty University.
This past summer I enjoyed another 3 weeks with my B2K friends and traveled to Cancun with some friends!
In my free time I like to cook, kayak with my wife and the dogs, go fishing, travel, and attend concerts (mostly country concerts).
