Principal's Message |
Greetings Tiger Families!
Please have a restful and peaceful long weekend as we celebrate Memorial Day on Monday. As we all pause to celebrate and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, the quote below from President Truman rings as true now as it did 80 years ago.
“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.”
- President Harry S. Truman
Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate Eid-al-Adha on Wednesday.
I look forward to seeing all of our students for the final 15 days of the school year when they return on Thursday, May 28th for an odd day.
Sincerely,
Matt

Upcoming Student Events – Eligibility for Attendance
Spring brings lots of excitement, events, and this week – heat! Below are some remaining events that we have for the rest of the school year. We have continued to remind students that their eligibility to participate in these events is tied to positive decisions related to attendance and behavior. We have noticed an increase in students finding it entertaining to spray or throw water at each other. Please take a moment to address this with your student so they understand why that is not appropriate for school. We are excited to partner with you to have a strong, positive finish to the school year as we rapidly approach summer!
- June 11th - Annual Talent Show
- June 12th - 8th Grade Dance
- June 17th - 8th Grade Field Day/7th Grade Activity Day
Please Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance
 It’s a busy time of year, and we know many priorities are on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Families who earn less than 185% of the federal poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit.
If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer.
End of Year Medication Pick-Up
Twain’s health room reminds parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school, Wednesday June 17th. 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. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room. 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).
