Hi Families! The Music Department has been busy, busy, busy! In April, our final Grade Level Performance of the Year showcased our 3rd grade students rocking out on Recorder- we are super proud of their musicianship and hard work. This month, all 3rd and 4th Grade students participated in BMP's annual Instrument Petting Zoo by trying out a Band or Strings Instrument- we heard some wonderful first sounds and are so excited for next year's Band, Strings, and Chorus Programs- be sure to sign your student up! It will be a great year. Our last concert of the year will be June 4th at 7:00PM. All Band, Strings, and Chorus students will be performing with special guests from Thomas A. Edison High School.

This inclusive program invites children ages 3 – 4 and children who turn 5 on or after October 1, 2026, from the community to learn alongside preschool students with disabilities in a nurturing, high-quality, play-based environment led by certified teachers. The program focuses on building early learning skills as well as social-emotional development, including confidence and friendships.

The next Play Event at BMP is on May 20 from 2:30–3:30 PM for interested families. This is a wonderful chance for families to visit and learn more about the program. Please click on https://www.fcps.edu/academics/curriculum/early-childhood-education to sign up for the event.

 

Finish the School Year With Strong Attendance!

As we enter the final weeks of the school year, Fairfax County Public Schools appreciates your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success. Regular attendance plays an important role in helping students stay engaged in learning, maintain connections with their teachers and peers, and finish the school year strong. 

Attending school consistently also helps students build valuable habits such as responsibility, perseverance, and daily routines that support success both in and out of the classroom.

 

If your child needs to miss school, please remember to report the absence. Full-day absences can be reported in ParentVUE. Families may also report absences by calling the school attendance line or emailing the school-designated attendance address.

 

If your child is experiencing challenges that are affecting attendance, we are here to help. Please contact your child’s school so staff can partner with you to provide support and resources. Learn more about attendance resources

 

BMP Grad Walk for Graduating Alumni

BMP Grad Walk, 2026

Our graduating Bren Mar Park alumni are invited to the BMP Grad Walk on Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 3:30 p.m.  Our annual tradition involves lots of photos with former classmates and a walk around the school where graduates are celebrated by and inspire our current Mustangs in what education has to offer!  The walk is concluded with a read aloud in our school library and end-of-day visits with former teachers.

Please arrive early and with your government-issued ID to check in!  Families of graduates are welcome to attend and take photos from the school lobby at the beginning and conclusion of the Grad Walk.  

Please RSVP if you are able to attend.

 

Class Assignment Consideration Requests, SY 26-27

As we look toward a successful new school year, we are pleased to open the Class Assignment Consideration process for families. This is your opportunity to partner with us by sharing specific insights regarding your child’s learning needs, such as requests to keep certain students together or to separate them to foster a better academic environment. While we value your input and strive to create balanced classrooms that support every student, please keep in mind that specific teacher name requests are not accepted, and we are unable to provide any final guarantees. We appreciate your trust and collaboration as our staff works diligently to find the best possible placement for every child.

The form is available at https://forms.gle/WYUoonpe2HUYPnDY9

The form will be open to families throughout the month of May.
