McLean High School Volunteers at Bright Beats' Afterschool Music Program Build Joy in our Pyramid
McLean High School students volunteered with Bright Beats, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides free and inclusive music programs for children with diverse learning and communication needs. Since Fall of 2025, student volunteers have fostered joy and connection through Bright Beats' afterschool sessions at Franklin Sherman ES. Each session featured unique programs including sing-alongs, rhythm games, movement, and instrument play. Their dedication made a meaningful impact on the children they served, while helping the volunteers themselves develop essential empathy and community leadership skills.
Bright Beats is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing free and inclusive music experiences to children with diverse learning needs.

Calendar Survey
FCPS values your input as we plan future school calendars. On Friday, June 5, all caregivers and FCPS staff recieved an email from noreply@fcps.edu containing a unique link to complete the FCPS Calendar Survey.
Your feedback matters. Please take a few minutes to share your priorities and perspectives by Tonight, June 22, at 11:59 p.m.
Your individual responses will be kept confidential and will not be shared with school staff or used in any way that identifies you or your student. Only aggregate, summary-level results will be reported to the Fairfax County School Board.
If you do not receive a link to the survey or have technical difficulties completing the survey, please contact the FCPS Office of Research and Program Evaluation.
Looking Ahead: Updated FCPS Cellphone Policy Starts July 1
No Phones or Devices During Lunch for High School Students.
Under a new Virginia cellphone law (SB108) and the updated FCPS Cellphone Policy, high school students at FCPS will no longer be able to use cellphones and other smart devices during lunch time, starting July 1. This includes watches that serve a dual purpose, such as smart watches, as well as earbuds, headsets, smart glasses, and other items connected to the internet.
During the school day, including during lunch time, high school students will have to keep cellphones and other smart devices off and stored in a locker, backpack, pouch, purse, etc. This policy does not apply to school-issued devices. Visit the FCPS Cellphone Policy webpage for more information.

SAT School Day and PSAT/NMSQT 2026
SAT School Day and PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) exams will be held at each high school, including ours, on Wednesday, October 7, at no cost to families. The digital SAT School Day exam is offered to 12th grade students, and the digital PSAT/NMSQT exam is provided to 10th and 11th grade students.
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities and Multilingual Learner Supports
Because these exams are operated by the College Board, students do not automatically receive testing accommodations or multilingual learner (ML) supports. If you have a student with disabilities entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please review the accommodations request process and return forms to our school by Monday, August 3, to request new or updated College Board testing accommodations.
If you have a multilingual learner (ML) entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please review the ML support request process and return forms by Thursday, August 27, if you wish to request ML supports for the October 2026 PSAT/NMSQT or SAT School Day. Find out more about SAT and PSAT assessments in FCPS.
For questions about the College Board accommodations and supports request process, please contact Rob Bouchard (rabouchard1@fcps.edu) for students with IEPs and Bethany Davis (bsdavis@fcps.edu) for students with 504s and multilingual learners.
