Dear Eagle View Families,
It has been an exciting and joyful week at Eagle View!
We began by celebrating Mrs. Bouch, who was named Region 5’s Outstanding Teacher of the Year. This is such a well deserved honor. Mrs. Bouch represents the very best of our school community, and we are so fortunate to have her at Eagle View.
We ended the week with Amistad Day, led by our House of Friendship. Students were greeted at the door with stickers featuring words of affirmation, and the smiles on their faces said it all. Small acts of kindness truly make a big difference. We also celebrated the 100th Day of School, with our primary students especially excited to be 100 Days Smarter.
Looking ahead, this is a short week. Monday, February 16 is Presidents Day, a federal holiday, and Tuesday, February 17 is a student holiday. Tuesday also marks Lunar New Year. Happy New Year to all of our families who celebrate.
On Thursday from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, we will host Coffee with Principal. I hope you will join us and take the opportunity to meet our new assistant principal, Mr. Whitehouse.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
KJ An
Principal
We are thrilled to share that Mrs. Bouch has been named Region 5’s Outstanding Elementary Teacher. This recognition is incredibly well deserved and a true reflection of her dedication to students and excellence in teaching. As a charter member of Eagle View, she has helped shape our school community from the very beginning. We are so proud of her and grateful for the lasting impact she continues to make each day.

Tired of all the cold weather? Let’s warm up with a little school spirit across the division!
Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid is encouraging all FCPS students, teachers, and staff to shake the wrinkles out of their brightest outfits and tropical wear to help brighten everyone’s moods on Thursday, February 19.
As we prepare for Ramadan, we are working to thoughtfully support our students who observe this important month. In an effort to honor their religious practice while also maintaining a structured school day, we are seeking a male Muslim adult volunteer to lead student prayer time at Eagle View during Ramadan.
There will always be two Eagle View staff members present to supervise and ensure student safety. Having a designated prayer leader will help provide appropriate guidance for students and allow us to organize prayer in a way that minimizes time away from instruction while still respecting this meaningful observance.
If you are interested or know someone who may be willing to serve in this role, please sign up in this Sign Up Genius link, or please contact Ms. Fahel in the main office. We appreciate your partnership in supporting our students and their faith traditions.
