Dear Lake Anne Families,
As we move through the final stretch of the school year, there is so much to celebrate at Lake Anne! Our classrooms continue to be filled with learning, growth, and excitement as students work hard to finish the year strong. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication of our teachers, staff, and families who continue to support our students each day. Thank you for partnering with us to make this a successful and memorable year for our school community.
As we head into our final week of SOL testing, we want to wish our 3rd and 5th grade students the very best of luck as they take their last SOL assessments! Our students and teachers have worked incredibly hard all year long, and we are proud of the growth, perseverance, and dedication we continue to see each day. Thank you to our families for your continued partnership and support of academics at home and at school. Your encouragement truly makes a difference.
We also want to celebrate that our chronic absenteeism rate is currently at 11% — so close to reaching our goal of below 10%! Let’s finish the year strong by making attendance a priority each day. Every school day matters, especially during these final weeks of instruction, testing, celebrations, and end-of-year activities. Thank you for helping ensure students are at school, on time, and ready to learn!
Warmly,
Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal
Mrs. Valencia Chenier, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Leslie Grumbach, Assistant Principal

Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning.
FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately.
It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify us as soon as possible.
Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.
Our Kiss and Ride line begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 8:50 a.m. To help traffic move safely and efficiently, please pull all the way forward when dropping off students and remain in your vehicle at all times. If you need to come inside the building, please park in a designated parking spot or on the street. We also ask families to follow staff and patrol directions and avoid stopping or parking along the curb at any point in the Kiss and Ride lane. Thank you for helping us keep arrival safe and smooth for everyone!
The school health room is reminding parents/guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up by dismissal time on the last day of school, June 17, 2026. If your student is enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form may be used for the summer program. Parents will need to pick up the medication and deliver it to the summer learning site.
Medication authorization forms for school year 26-27 are available online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. This form is required for any prescription, or over-the-counter medication. Please refer to information about medication procedures on the back of the form. All over-the-counter medication must be unopened in an original container. No more than 100 pills/tablets should be brought to school. All prescription medications must be labeled by the pharmacist or health care provider and match the orders on the medication authorization.
Please reach out to the health room staff if you have any questions:

Mr. Johnson has beautifully hand-drawn the backdrops for our upcoming school musical, and now we need helping hands to bring them to life with paint!
If you have any availability during the school day, please consider stopping by his classroom to help out. No experience needed—just a willingness to pitch in.
Thank you, and please help spread the word to other Lake Anne families!
