Dear Sully District Families and Community Members,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
First, congratulations to all of our graduates! Wishing the Class of 2026 the very best as you begin this exciting new chapter. To all of our students, families, teachers, and staff, thank you for another successful school year. I hope you have an opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends over the summer.
I also wanted to take a moment to provide an update on the Skyview High School phasing and transportation recommendations that were presented by the Superintendent at the Regular meeting on Thursday, June 25. These recommendations outline how Skyview High School would transition over its first three years, including student enrollment, transportation, and athletics.
The School Board is currently scheduled to vote on the boundary and phasing proposal at our July 16th meeting. As with any School Board action, approval will require the support of a majority of Board members. If you would like your voice to be heard, I encourage you to continue sharing your feedback not only with me, but also with the At-Large members and other School Board members.
Please know that I remain committed to listening, advocating, and working toward the best possible outcome for our students, families, and communities. I am always happy to hear from you, answer questions, discuss concerns, or simply listen. I am just an email, phone call, or meeting away.
Below is a simple overview of the proposed phasing and transportation plan to help families better understand what is being recommended.
Thank you again for your continued engagement, patience, and partnership throughout this process.
In partnership,
Seema Dixit
Sully District School Board Member

Skyview High School Phasing: What Families Need to Know
Skyview High School will open in phases over three school years to allow students, staff, and programs to grow together. During the first year (2026–27), enrollment is opt-in only for 9th and 10th graders.
In the second year (2027–28), the new attendance boundary takes effect, and incoming 9th-grade students who live within the boundary will attend Skyview, with an opportunity to opt out if the school's configuration does not meet their educational needs.
By the third year (2028–29), Skyview will serve all four grade levels (9–12), and the full attendance boundary will be in effect for incoming 9th graders. This phased approach is intended to provide a smooth transition as the school grows
Transportation

Transportation: How Bus Service Will Work
The Superintendent's recommendation includes two transportation models based on where students live. Students who live within the Skyview attendance boundary will receive transportation through the traditional neighborhood bus stop model.
Students who live outside the Skyview boundary but choose to attend Skyview from one of the five original feeder high schools (Centreville, Chantilly, Oakton, South Lakes, and Westfield) will use designated depot bus stops.
In addition, students who remain at their current high school because of boundary changes will continue to receive transportation consistent with FCPS Policy 8130

VHSL Athletics & Activities: What to Expect
Skyview's athletic programs will also be introduced in phases as the school expands. During the first year, Skyview will not be a VHSL member school, and students may continue participating in VHSL athletics and activities at their current (base) high school.
In the second year, Skyview becomes a VHSL member school, although some athletic programs may be limited while facilities and participation continue to grow. By the third year, Skyview is expected to offer a full slate of VHSL programs.
I know there are still many questions, and that's completely understandable. As the process moves forward and FCPS provides additional guidance, I'll continue sharing updates and adding to the FAQ section to address the questions I'm hearing from families. Thank you for staying engaged and for continuing to share your feedback as we work through this transition together.
