Supporting Your Child's Mental Health

  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

A Message from Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and it was such a joy to celebrate the incredible staff members who make Justice such a special place each and every day. Our teachers, counselors, instructional assistants, office staff, custodians, cafeteria workers, and support staff give so much of themselves to our students and community, and we are deeply grateful for all they do.

A huge shout out to our PTSA for hosting a wonderful luncheon on Wednesday, as well as to everyone who helped support and contribute to the event. Your generosity and partnership mean so much to our staff and school community.

To end the week, we came together to celebrate our connectedness and all that makes Justice so special. It was a meaningful opportunity to recognize and celebrate our amazing school, staff, students, and community.

We also completed another important week of IB testing. Almost all of our seniors took the IB Language and Literature exams on Thursday and Friday, and we had over 99% attendance across both days. We are incredibly proud of our students for showing up prepared and focused, and we appreciate all of the hard work and support from our teachers, staff, and families that helped make this success possible.

This week, we begin SOL testing by period starting on Tuesday. Attendance is critical for the remainder of the school year, and we appreciate your partnership in ensuring students are present, on time, and ready to learn each day.

As a reminder, late bus opportunities are available Monday through Thursday now through June 4, with the exception of Memorial Day week. Saturday School will also continue every Saturday through May 30.

Electric Vehicle DC Grand Prix!

On Saturday, May 2nd, students, under the guidance of Mr. Gaydon, proudly competed in the Electric Vehicle DC Grand Prix with their student-built electric car, the VoltWolf. This year-long project challenges the team to design, build, and refine every component of the vehicle while adhering to strict technical and safety regulations—making it a true “lab on wheels.”

Pilots Josue Saravia and Jose Flores demonstrated endurance, strategy, and skill, racing for over an hour and completing 18 laps. The team’s success was supported by Jack Young, who documented the event as the media lead, and Anthony Ceto-Terraza, who ensured all safety protocols were followed as safety manager.

A special highlight was the car’s striking design. Josue Saravia did an outstanding job leading the auto body paint and design, in collaboration with the Edison Auto Collision Academy.

Justice Educator Making a Difference in Senegal

During her recent visit in Senegal, Ms. Kirsten Salonga was able to observe and teach classes at various schools, sharing her passion for combining language development with classroom content while also describing the school culture back home.

Ms. Salonga was incredibly proud to present Justice High School shirts as a symbol of the connection between the two schools and countries.

Special thanks Mr. Garvey and our Activities Office for providing the shirts!

From FCPS FCPS Caters to Food Allergies

May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.

To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.

Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students .

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors .

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

A Message From Dr. Rolon

Last week, our Justice High School community came together to celebrate Shine On Week which is a meaningful time honoring former student Casey Schulman, and dedicated to gratitude, reflection, and appreciation for one another. The week culminated in Springfest on Friday afternoon, which was a tremendous success. Springfest would not have been possible without the generous support of Mason District Supervisor Andres Jimenez, whose significant donation helped ensure a joyful and memorable experience for our students. We are grateful for his continued commitment to Justice HS and the broader community.

On Saturday evening, our students attended prom, and it was truly an enchanted night. The energy, excitement, and sense of celebration were evident as students danced the night away and created lasting memories. It was wonderful to see them enjoying themselves and marking this special milestone together.

As we move into this week, we begin IB testing. While testing season can bring added pressure, it also represents an important opportunity for our students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have developed over the past one or two years. We encourage all students to attend school every day during this time. This will help them prepare effectively and to ensure they are present for their exams.

We believe in our students and in the effort they have invested. They are ready, and we are confident they will do a great job. Thank you for your support in ensuring our students attend school consistently throughout the rest of this year.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

Principal

A perfect day for Springfest!

Students danced the night away at Prom 2026!

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

Varsity Tutors Provides On-Demand Support at No Cost

Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors .

No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students

Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies? 

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

A Message From Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible success of our International Night this past weekend. This year, we truly brought the world to Justice as we explored 19 different countries, each represented through vibrant performances, meaningful displays, and rich cultural experiences. The show culminated with the realization that the quest for the diamond that led our audience throughout the world ended at the diamond’s location all along, Justice High School.

I could not be more proud of our student performers. Their dedication, countless hours of practice, and commitment to excellence were evident in every performance. They showcased not only their talents but also their courage and pride in sharing their cultures with our community. The energy, precision, and joy they brought to the stage made the evening unforgettable. They also handled rescheduling with grace and understanding.

What made the night even more special was the overwhelming support from our community. The turnout was outstanding, and it was inspiring to see so many families, staff members, and neighbors come together to celebrate. The engagement, enthusiasm, and sense of connection in every corner of the building reminded me just how strong and unified our Justice community truly is every day.

Of course, the evening would not have been complete without the incredible variety of food. From familiar favorites to new and exciting dishes, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Sharing food together added another layer of connection and celebration to an already joyful evening.

Most of all, I left the night feeling a deep sense of pride and gratitude. It is an honor to work alongside such talented students, dedicated staff, and supportive community members.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping make International Night such a meaningful and memorable experience for all.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

Principal

From FCPS Updates to 2026-27 School Year Calendar

The School Board voted to direct the superintendent to designate Veterans Day as a standard instructional day for the 2026-27 school year. Because this day was added, the 2026-27 school year will now end for students on Wednesday, June 16, 2027. Find additional information on BoardDocs . View the updated complete school year calendar on FCPS’ website.

The last day of school for the current school year — Wednesday, June 17, 2026— has not changed.

Community Conversations: Share Your Thoughts With Dr. Reid

As a listening leader, connecting with community members across our school division is critical to FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. Her Community Conversations are opportunities for you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Events will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on: 

Click on a date to register to attend that event. Registration is not required, but it helps with planning, especially for child care and interpretation services. Events are open to all. Visit the superintendent’s engagement page for the most up-to-date information.

Support Your Children During Important Spring Assessments 

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.

Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season. 

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 .

Help FCPS Sustain Excellence: Make Your Voice Heard on the FY 2027 Budget

Calendar Reminders National Library Week - April 19 - April 25

April is School Library Month and it's a great time to celebrate the essential role that school librarians play in the lives of students. School librarians ensure students have access to a wide variety of high-quality books and resources that connect them to the world and build a culture of literacy. Librarians develop lessons that are meaningful to students and help them develop critical thinking, inquiry, and information literacy skills. They support learning across all subject areas by teaching students the skills to be independent problem-solvers and creative thinkers. By creating a safe environment for all students to be engaged and curious learners, FCPS libraries are places where everyone belongs. Please take a moment to learn more about FCPS Library Programs and share your appreciation of your school librarian!

The people of these nations are ethnically, politically, and religiously diverse but share a common cultural and linguistic heritage. Learn more about the heritage months, celebrations, and traditions celebrated in FCPS.

April is School Library Month

In FCPS libraries, students develop knowledge and skills, experience a sense of belonging, find inspiration and support, and have the ability to freely pursue their personal interests and academic growth.

April is Autism Acceptance Month

Student Parking Requirements

In Fairfax County Public Schools, any student driving parking their car in a student parking spot is required to have a parking permit. All parking permits were issued over the summer for the 52 student spots.

Unfortunately, some students are coming into the parking lot and taking staff spots.  Vehicles seen without a parking permit will be ticketed per FCPS guidelines. The first ticket is a $25.00 fine, second is $50.00, third is $75.00 and fourth is $100.00.  All fines are entered in MySchoolBucks for payment.

We have had to be more vigilant with ticketing as there have been days when staff did not have enough parking spaces. Students are able to park on the road in spaces without a number.

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

Student Parking Requirements

In Fairfax County Public Schools, any student driving parking their car in a student parking spot is required to have a parking permit. All parking permits were issued over the summer for the 52 student spots.

Unfortunately, some students are coming into the parking lot and taking staff spots.  Vehicles seen without a parking permit will be ticketed per FCPS guidelines. The first ticket is a $25.00 fine, second is $50.00, third is $75.00 and fourth is $100.00.  All fines are entered in MySchoolBucks for payment.

We have had to be more vigilant with ticketing as there have been days when staff did not have enough parking spaces. Students are able to park on the road in spaces without a number.

Family Information Line Available in Nine Languages

Parents/caregivers who speak Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Urdu, or Vietnamese may call a telephone information line for general information about FCPS. View the list of phone numbers .

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students

Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies? 

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

A Message from Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope each of you had a restful week with time to relax, recharge, and spend meaningful time with family and friends. We are excited to have everyone back and are ready to begin 4th quarter.

As we enter the final stretch of the school year, it is critical that we stay focused on finishing strong both academically and with attendance. Everyday matters. Regular, daily attendance is one of the most important factors in student success, and we need all students present, on time, and ready to learn each day.

To support our students academically and with recovering lost attendance hours, we will continue to offer Saturday School opportunities on the following dates:

  • Saturday, April 11
  • Saturday, April 18
  • Saturday, April 25
  • Saturday, May 2
  • Saturday, May 9
  • Saturday, May 16
  • Saturday, May 23
  • Saturday, May 30 (last Saturday School of the year)

Saturday School is an intervention opportunity held from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM on select Saturdays, where students can receive additional academic support, catch up on assignments, and strengthen their understanding of key content. Attending Saturday School recovers one lost day of instruction, benefiting your student and our school.

In addition, we will continue to run late buses to support after-school academic help. Students can stay after school from 3:00 – 4:30 PM for extra support. Late buses will run on Wednesdays and Thursdays through April and will expand to Monday through Thursday during May and the first week of June. Please see list of dates below.

  • April 8 & April 9
  • April 15 & April 16
  • April 22 & April 23
  • April 29 & April 30
  • Monday, May 2 – Thursday, May 7
  • Monday, May 11 – Thursday, May 14
  • Monday, May 18 – Thursday, May 21
  • Monday, June 1 – Thursday, June 5

*There are no late buses the week of May 25 due to the holidays and shortened week.

Finally, you should have or will receive today a link to a principal evaluation questionnaire from FCPS. The link will come from [email protected] and there is more information directly below this message.

This is part of my evaluation process. I really value feedback and I would greatly appreciate you taking a couple minutes to provide me feedback on how I'm doing as principal of Justice HS. The window is open from today through April 19.

The end of the school year always brings a great deal of excitement with events, celebrations, and milestones. I look forward to closing the year strong with our amazing students, staff, and community.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

From FCPS FCPS Commitment to Weather Safety

At FCPS, the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is our highest priority — no matter the season. In extreme cold, we monitor National Weather Service (NWS) guidance, adjust outdoor activities, and ensure our buildings are warm and secure. In extreme heat, we modify or cancel outdoor activities, use on-site measurements to guide athletic decisions, and promote hydration and cooling breaks. 

FCPS has plans in place to provide guidance during severe weather, including storms, flooding, and tornadoes. Decisions are informed by industry best practices, weather alerts, and a commitment to keeping our school community safe and healthy year-round. Read more about weather safety , including the differences between an advisory, watch, and warning.

Community Conversations: Share Your Thoughts With Dr. Reid

As a listening leader, connecting with community members across our school division is critical to FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. Her Community Conversations are opportunities for you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Events will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on: 

Click on a date to register to attend that event. Registration is not required, but it helps with planning, especially for child care and interpretation services. Events are open to all. Visit the superintendent’s engagement page for the most up-to-date information.

Discover What’s New on the Menu

FCPS is excited to bring new and flavorful menu items to students while continuing to meet the high nutrition standards you trust. The school division’s registered dietitian team has developed standards to make school meals healthier while still tasting great.

Here’s what students can look forward to:

  • New globally inspired dishes that offer exciting flavors from around the world.
  • Fresh ingredients like whole grains, lean proteins, and plant-based options.
  • Scratch-made items like homemade granola.
  • Vegetarian options, like the meatless Philly melt, which are available alongside classic favorites.

Our goal is to provide balanced, safe, and flavorful meals that support students’ learning, growth, and overall health.

Want to know what’s on the menu? Food and Nutrition Services has menus available.

Provide the County Government With Feedback on Its Budget

About 70% of the FCPS budget comes from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors is reviewing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Advertised Budget and considering possible adjustments before adoption in May. Opportunities to provide feedback to the county include Budget Town Hall Meetings airing on Channel 16 on Tuesday, April 7, at 7 p.m., (Springfield District) and Friday, April 10, at 6 p.m., (Franconia District).

National Library Week - April 19 - April 25

April is School Library Month and it's a great time to celebrate the essential role that school librarians play in the lives of students. School librarians ensure students have access to a wide variety of high-quality books and resources that connect them to the world and build a culture of literacy. Librarians develop lessons that are meaningful to students and help them develop critical thinking, inquiry, and information literacy skills. They support learning across all subject areas by teaching students the skills to be independent problem-solvers and creative thinkers. By creating a safe environment for all students to be engaged and curious learners, FCPS libraries are places where everyone belongs. Please take a moment to learn more about FCPS Library Programs and share your appreciation of your school librarian!

April is School Library Month

Student Parking Requirements

In Fairfax County Public Schools, any student driving parking their car in a student parking spot is required to have a parking permit. All parking permits were issued over the summer for the 52 student spots.

Unfortunately, some students are coming into the parking lot and taking staff spots.  Vehicles seen without a parking permit will be ticketed per FCPS guidelines. The first ticket is a $25.00 fine, second is $50.00, third is $75.00 and fourth is $100.00.  All fines are entered in MySchoolBucks for payment.

We have had to be more vigilant with ticketing as there have been days when staff did not have enough parking spaces. Students are able to park on the road in spaces without a number.

Family Information Line Available in Nine Languages

Parents/caregivers who speak Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Urdu, or Vietnamese may call a telephone information line for general information about FCPS. View the list of phone numbers .

Keeping Children Safe Online

The Fairfax County Police Department shares these resources to help keep children safe online .

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

Varsity Tutors Provides On-Demand Support at No Cost

Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors .

No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students

Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies? 

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

Thank You to Rustic Love for Awarding a Grant to Support the Wolf Shack!

Last week Rustic Love, a philanthropy based in Vienna, delivered one of their largest grants to date to the Justice PTSA-sponsored Wolf Shack! Rustic Love was created in 2020 to support organizations across Northern Virginia that help the food-insecure, including school food pantries and other non-profit organizations that provide support services to those in need. They are well-known for the rustic wooden heart signs they sell with proceeds donated to their grant recipients. The heart is a simple symbol of love and support - an open heart - and represents a desire to help those in need.

Michelle Connors, the Founder and Executive Director of Rustic Love, came to Justice to meet with the Wolf Shack volunteers and school administration, to express her personal support for the resource pantry and to present the grant check and a heart sign in Justice colors.

This significant grant will ensure that the Wolf Shack shelves remain full of critical food staples, toiletries, snacks and other free resources for all Justice students - and, of course, that our new fresh fruit and produce refrigerator can be restocked every week! We thank Rustic Love for the recognition of the difference volunteers, donors, school leadership and community can make in the life of our students and their families. We are incredibly grateful for their support.

If you would like to know more about Rustic Love and their wooden heart signs, visit the organization's website at  https://rusticlove.org . You can also learn more about the Justice HS PTSA-sponsored Wolf Shack and how to support the resource pantry at https://www.justicehsptsa.org/wolfshack .  THANK YOU RUSTIC LOVE!

Justice Publications Boosters: Thank you for Sending out Student Journalists to NYC!

WE DID IT! Thanks to our generous Justice community,we achieved our goal - the NYC trip is FULLY funded. Your contributions and support are more appreciated than you can imagine.

Through an online fundraiser, a series of bake sales/concessions stand shifts/restaurant events and direct appeals from everyone involved, the 16 Justice High School student journalists, their teacher sponsors, the JHS Publications Boosters and our amazing community all worked together to raise over $16,500 dollars to fund a life-changing trip to NYC for the prestigious Columbia Scholastic Press Association workshop. All from individual donations (you!) - no large donors or business sponsors. We were even able to raise enough for a Broadway show and a celebratory team dinner in Times Square on the final evening. They will be traveling with student journalists from McLean and Thomas Jefferson High Schools, and will be documenting their trip to share their experiences with everyone. 

Our student journalists got the message: their community believes in them and their voices, and values Justice journalism and hard work. Again, thank you for being part of such a supportive community!

Student Parking Requirements

In Fairfax County Public Schools, any student driving parking their car in a student parking spot is required to have a parking permit. All parking permits were issued over the summer for the 52 student spots.

Unfortunately, some students are coming into the parking lot and taking staff spots.  Vehicles seen without a parking permit will be ticketed per FCPS guidelines. The first ticket is a $25.00 fine, second is $50.00, third is $75.00 and fourth is $100.00.  All fines are entered in MySchoolBucks for payment.

We have had to be more vigilant with ticketing as there have been days when staff did not have enough parking spaces. Students are able to park on the road in spaces without a number.

Family Information Line Available in Nine Languages

Parents/caregivers who speak Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Urdu, or Vietnamese may call a telephone information line for general information about FCPS. View the list of phone numbers .

Keeping Children Safe Online

The Fairfax County Police Department shares these resources to help keep children safe online .

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

Varsity Tutors Provides On-Demand Support at No Cost

Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors .

No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students

Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies? 

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

Supporting Your Child's Mental Health

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

Performing Arts Success! Orchestra

This past weekend, the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association held their state orchestra assessments at Edison HS. Four orchestra groups represented Justice at the two-day event. They are evaluated on three prepared pieces in front of three adjudicators. Following that performance, they are then tested on their musical knowledge and abilities by sight-reading through a piece that they (or the teacher) have never seen before. They are then given an overall score from Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent and Superior.  The Symphonic Orchestra received an overall “Excellent” rating. The Concert, Philharmonic and Chamber Orchestra all received “Superior” ratings. Congrats musicians! We are so proud of you.

Band

The Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble performed at state assessment on Wednesday evening and Thursday evening. Both groups earned superior ratings and the wind ensemble earned A’s in all captions while performing grade 6 level literature which is the most challenging/advanced level of music. The students performed to the best of their ability, and many are eager to take their skills to the next level.

AVID Students Visit Bailey’s Upper

On Tuesday, March 10 several students in our AVID class visited Bailey’s Upper Elementary school an had the opportunity to work with the 3rd graders there. During their visit they reviewed the NFL halftime message, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Working with the third grade students they discussed compassion towards one another and what that looks like. The elementary students were able to share their ideas and what they felt was needed to create a welcoming environment for all students.

Model UN Conference

Justice High School Student Delegates Naomi Natnael, Sunya Islam, Reem El Moujahid, and Miriam Gargis participated in the TechMUN XXXIII Model United Nations Conference at Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology last week. Our students represented Justice well and put in a lot of work to prepare for this conference.

Phones Off, Learning On

FCPS’ cell phone policy helps students focus, learn, and engage. When students put their phones away, they have more face-to-face interactionswith their peers and teachers and more opportunities to develop resilience and problem-solving skills. Please remind your child that:

  • Smart watchesthat serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited.

If you need to contact your child during the school day, please call our front office at 703-824-3900. Visit our cell phone policy webpage for more information and answers to frequently asked questions.

Weekly Reminders Student Parking Requirements

In Fairfax County Public Schools, any student driving parking their car in a student parking spot is required to have a parking permit. All parking permits were issued over the summer for the 52 student spots.

Unfortunately, some students are coming into the parking lot and taking staff spots.  Vehicles seen without a parking permit will be ticketed per FCPS guidelines. The first ticket is a $25.00 fine, second is $50.00, third is $75.00 and fourth is $100.00.  All fines are entered in MySchoolBucks for payment.

We have had to be more vigilant with ticketing as there have been days when staff did not have enough parking spaces. Students are able to park on the road in spaces without a number.

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.

A Message from Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

This Friday is the halfway point of 3rd quarter. Teachers will be sending home updated progress reports to all families by 3:30 pm this Friday, 3/6. Please review your students’ current academic progress with them. It may only be early March, but the end of the year will be here before we know it. Should you not receive progress reports by the end of this week, please reach out to your student’s assistant principal.

Students who are struggling with academics and attendance may be required to attend after school and Saturday School sessions. If that is the case, you will receive an email from us. We recognize requiring attendance after school or on weekends may be challenging for some students and families, and we remain committed to ensuring all students find success and pass their classes this year. Please continue to encourage daily, on-time attendance. There is a strong correlation between chronic absenteeism and lower grades based on our data from last year. We greatly appreciate your support.

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

Principal

Become Unskippable: Share the Facts About Fentanyl With Teens

Talking with teens about the facts of fentanyl is a conversation you can’t skip. Learning about fentanyl gives teens a better understanding of the risks and effects of the drug, and what they can do to keep themselves and their communities safe. 

Share these important facts with your child:

  • Even half a fentanyl-laced pill can be fatal. Just a few salt-sized grains of fentanyl are enough to cause an overdose.
  • More than half of local street pills contain a deadly dose of fentanyl. As of 2023, seven in 10 counterfeit pills in the U.S. contain enough fentanyl to cause a fatal overdose.
  • Fentanyl is usually taken accidentally. Many people have no idea they’ve taken it until they overdose because you can’t see, smell, or taste it in pills and powders.
  • Overdose can happen in an instant. In as little as four minutes, the lack of oxygen can lead to brain damage and even death.

Learn more about how to have conversations with your child in a way that will make you Become Unskippable.

What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse

FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.

What can families do?

  • Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink. 
  • Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success. 
  • Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage . 
  • Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors. 
  • Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”

Get more information on opioid awareness .

Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health

Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:

  • Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
  • Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
  • Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
  • Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
  • A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family. 
  • Thoughts of harming themselves or others.

If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness . 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.
