Congratulations to our Mustangs who scored big at last Saturday's chess tournament! Please join me in congratulating them on a job well done! Way to HOOF IT UP, Mustangs!
Hello MUES Families,
This week has been a busy week at McNair Upper! Our Mustangs in all grade levels have participated in their midyear iReady math and reading assessments. Their performance on these assessments helps our instructional staff guide their intervention groups as we transition to the 3rd quarter of school. We also use this data to celebrate the great academic successes of our Mustangs, which there are many!
Our Mustangs have also been doing an excellent job following our school-wide expectations and earning Mustang Marks for their House. We are so proud of our Mustangs for coming back to school from an extended winter break with a positive attitude, focused, and ready to learn!
As a friendly reminder, the 2nd quarter of school ends on Tuesday, January 28th. Student progress on quarterly progress reports and division-wide assessments will be available for families to access in ParentVUE in early February.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful three-day weekend. Please stay warm as the temperatures next week will be quite frigid.
My Best,
Mrs. Goddin, Your Proud Principal

As we wrap up the McNair Gives Campaign, we wanted to say thank you for your generosity in baking with your children and practicing generosity in sharing what they baked. We hope that the Bake for Good experience sparked a love of baking in your child or taught them a few new skills. Thank you also to our third grade families for donating many canned goods, which will benefit families in the Herndon area. Congratulations to the Blazers for being our most generous house and donating the most baked and canned goods!
Watch this video to see how FCPS makes weather closing decisions.
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible, including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be among the first to hear about weather delays and closings! Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE. Emails and text messages are sent to parents and caregivers based on the addresses and cell phone numbers entered on this platform.
