FCPS Cares- Congratulations! The following staff member has been recognized as an employee who shows that FCPS CARES. Mikquan Johnson
Mikquan Johnson is being recognized by his ART teacher for his exceptional work with our students who have IEPs. In his TV and Media Production class, Mr. Johnson is consistently patient and thoughtful when grouping students for projects. He excels at meeting students where they are and providing constructive feedback on their film projects. This guidance has proven highly successful, as the quality of the students' work continues to improve with each assignment. Mikquan Johnson is the GOAT!
FCPS CARES submission: Dr. Brittney Floyd
Dr. Brittney Floyd builds positive working relationships with her advisory students individually through one to one attention and genuine interest in their pursuits. Her students thrive on these interactions and routinely seek out Dr. Floyd for her support and guidance. She empowers them with her belief in their abilities as students and individuals and helps them select courses that are challenging and a good fit based on their needs and interests. Dr. Floyd takes such a strong interest in their future that they readily engage and believe they can be successful.
I’m excited to announce that our teacher, Josh McFarland has been featured in In the Spotlight video for FCPS. Click the link and view. The description is below:
Josh McFarland, a West Potomac High School alumnus, traveled from the oil fields of Alaska back to the classrooms of Alexandria to transform how students learn. After a career in petroleum geology, he realized that the best way to master a skill isn't always through a textbook. From mastering technical tools to building professional teamwork, see how FCPS students are creating tangible projects that improve their school and their community.
AP and SOL testing are going very well. We thank all our faculty and staff and our school counselors for all their work to administer and proctor testing.
Reminder: No school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for students.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
