Letter From the Hybla Valley Administration Team

 

Hello Husky Families!

 

In reflecting on last week's Valentine’s Day, we wanted to express our deepest gratitude for being part of such a kind and loving school community. You can feel the love for community and joy of learning at Hybla every single day!

 

While we have enjoyed our recent festivities and holidays, we know we are ready for a return to consistent school routines. We are hoping for uninterrupted school weeks in these months ahead! Please do continue to be our steadfast educational partners in sending your students to school daily. We need your help with supporting higher daily school attendance rates at Hybla. While we do know the winter season also aligns with cold and flu season, please know that students are able to attend school unless they have a fever, are vomiting or experiencing persistent tummy troubles. Our kids learn so much daily at school and we love when our entire school community is here together!

 

We are looking forward to Math Night in March, so please book your calendars now! We promise a fun evening for the whole family!

 

With gratitude,

 

Kathleen, Erica, Mike, and Karlie

Girl Scout Meeting

Our next Girl Scouts meeting will be Thursday, February 20th at 5:00 PM in the Hybla Valley Cafeteria. If you are interested in joining our Girl Scouts Troop, please stop by and speak with our troop leader, Michelle Johnson.

Resources For Immigrant Families

 

Fairfax County Public Schools believes that public education is the cornerstone of a successful community. We will continue to do all that we can to ensure access to safe and vibrant learning spaces for all of our students, families, and staff. While some things may be changing, what’s unwavering is our commitment to ensuring that all students benefit from a world-class education in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment. We encourage our students to come to school every day.

Parents/caregivers, students, and staff have asked what FCPS is doing to ensure a safe learning experience for our community.  Please see resources below.

FCPS continues to monitor national policy decisions that impact our students, their families and some of our staff and their families. There are existing laws that govern our work as a public school system.

In accordance with federal law, FCPS does not require any student or family member to share their immigration status. Also, FCPS does not collect student or family member immigration status.

FCPS follows the law. The 1982 Supreme Court decision in Plyer v. Doe established that all children, regardless of immigration status, have the right to a public education. This was a result of the state of Texas enacting a law allowing school districts to deny enrollment to undocumented children.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, enacted in 1974, also protects the privacy of student information.

FCPS is not aware of any efforts by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) or other law enforcement authorities to enter FCPS schools in order to arrest or detain students, parents, or staff. If enforcement actions are taken at our schools, FCPS will follow its existing policies and regulations governing access to students and student record information by law enforcement entities. We will do everything within our authority to protect our students and staff.

We are sensitive to the emotions involved and will closely monitor potential impacts on our schools as we do with any new regulations or laws. As additional information becomes available we will share it with our students, staff, and families. 

It is important to always be prepared for family crisis situations, and we encourage parents and guardians to talk to your children, in an age-appropriate manner, about what to do in the event of an emergency: 

• Create a Family Preparedness Plan. 
• Make sure that your emergency contact information is up to date using our SIS ParentVUE accounts. 

Families may also wish to review their decision related to voluntary disclosure of directory information and contact information. Contact your child's school to update information.

Window for Full-Time AAP Referrals Closes on December 15, 2024

Reminder:  Window for Full-Time AAP Referrals Closes on December 15, 2024

Parents/guardians of students in Grades 2-7 who would like their student to be considered for Full-Time advanced academic programs may submit the AAP Full-Time Referral Form to  Vickie Tyquiengco our Advanced Academics Resource Teacher no later than December 15, 2024. 
Mrs. Tyquiengco's email address is: [email protected] 

The window for families to submit a referral for Full-Time AAP services is the first day of school through December 15, annually.  Forms for Full-Time and part-time referrals are available on the AAP Forms Page. No late referrals for Full-Time AAP services will be accepted. 

Submitting a referral form for Full-Time AAP will initiate a process that begins at the local school and is then completed at the central office level. Our school will put together a portfolio that includes multiple data which are considered holistically. At the central office level, a committee of six trained professionals from various schools and roles will review the portfolio materials to determine eligibility for Full-Time placement.  Eligibility decisions are communicated by early April. Parents may request a copy of the portfolio that was submitted after they have been turned in for central selection by emailing Mrs. Tyquiengco at [email protected]

Referrals for Subject-Specific and Part-Time AAP are screened at the local school. If you miss this deadline, your student can still be screened for Subject-Specific AAP or Part-Time AAP for the remainder of the year and submit a referral for Full-Time AAP next fall. 

For more information, please visit the Advanced Academic Programs website.

Dear Husky Families,

 

Happy Thanksgiving! As we gather around the table to give thanks, I want to express my sincere gratitude for welcoming me to Hybla Valley! It is an absolute privilege to lead this exceptional school community and I look forward to seeing all we can do together.

Your support and partnership are invaluable as we work together to not only provide the best possible education for them but support them in achieving their dreams.

 

As we look forward to closing out the remainder of 2024, we are excited about the continued academic success of our kids! December is going to be a fabulous month.

 

Wishing you a warm and joyful Thanksgiving,

 

Kathleen

Join us for Winter Movie Night sponsored by the Hybla Valley PTO!! Federal Impact Aid Survey

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is eligible for federal Impact Aid grants due to the federal presence in our area. The grants from these programs will become part of FCPS' general operating budget. They are critical to ensuring that students receive an excellent education. FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $4,000,000 in Impact Aid funds.

FCPS uses the survey for Federal Impact Aid to identify federally connected students. In October, the survey will be made available to FCPS families. The survey is available online through ParentVue. Families without ParentVUE can request a paper copy of the survey from their child's school. FCPS staff will process the information with the utmost confidentiality.

Below are the visual steps for a parent to get to the survey in SIS ParentVue.

Here is a video link with more information about Impact Aid:

https://www.fcps.edu/impact

Use of Impact Aid Funds:

Federal Impact Aid provides revenue to local education agencies to mitigate costs of educating children in areas impacted by federal activity. The Impact Aid policy was designed to compensate local school districts for the local funding share that is reduced or eliminated because of a Federal presence that is not taxable.  School districts with federal lands, military installations, federal low-rent housing or Indian Trust land within their boundaries lose local revenues.  Impact Aid is designed to compensate school districts for this lost revenue. Impact Aid goes into the general fund and is intended to offset the costs (e.g. staff, facilities, and transportation) associated with educating military dependent children and other special groups.

Upcoming FLE Lessons

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a comprehensive Family Life Education (FLE) program.  FLE instruction begins in kindergarten and continues through grade 12. FLE includes topics in human growth and development and social and emotional health.  FLE instruction helps students gain knowledge and skills needed to make healthy, responsible, and life-enhancing decisions related to relationships and their physical, emotional, and social health. Parents and guardians are partners in their child’s learning.  FLE instruction supports the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.

 

Parents and guardians can review FLE materials.  Parents/guardians can access FLE lessons in Schoology using their SIS username and password.  Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media titles online. Lessons and media are available for review at your child’s school.  Lessons only are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media).

 

To foster respect for family choices, parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. A student who is opted out will receive alternative health instruction.  To opt your child out of all or part of the FLE program for this school year, please complete the digital opt-out form.  If you cannot access the digital opt-out form, contact your child’s school to request a printed form.  You do not need to complete the opt-out form, digital or printed, if you wish for your child to take part in FLE instruction.

 

FLE program descriptions are available on the FCPS website.

• Elementary School https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary-school-academics-k-6/elementary-family-life-education
• Middle School https://www.fcps.edu/academics/middle-school-academics-7-8/family-life-education-fle
• High School https://www.fcps.edu/academics/high-school-academics-9-12/family-life-education-fle

 

For information about when FLE instruction will take place, please contact your child’s teacher or school. For questions about the FLE program, please contact Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or email [email protected].

Hybla Valley Elementary will hold an FLE information meeting for parents and families on Tuesday, December 3rd in the cafeteria from 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM.

Letter from Principal Sain

 

Hello Husky Families!

Happy Friday! I hope this message finds you and your family well as we wrap up another vibrant week of learning and growth together. Our classrooms have been buzzing with activity, from robust literacy lessons, deepening our conceptual understand of math through a strong workshop model and our course continual acts of kindness that strengthen our Husky pack!  It’s always inspiring to see our students not only learning but actively supporting one another. These moments remind me of how special our school community is…there is only one Hybla Valley !

I’d like to remind everyone of the importance of regular school attendance, especially as the weather cools and cold and flu season sets in. We understand that illnesses sometimes feel inevitable this time of year, but we ask that you continue sending your children to school each day. Only in cases of fever, vomiting, or diarrhea do we ask that students stay home to recover. For other symptoms, like a lingering cough or minor sniffles, our clinic staff is here to help support your child throughout the school day. Attendance is critical to their learning experience, and each day is full of valuable opportunities to learn and connect.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for entrusting us with your child’s education and well-being. Wishing you all a restful, healthy weekend, and we look forward to seeing our students back, ready for another great week of growth and discovery.

With love and gratitude,

Kathleen Sain

Services for Hearing-Impaired and Visually-Impaired Students

Students with sensory disabilities require specialized services and support to access instruction that is typically presented visually and auditorily (by means of hearing). FCPS provides educational services to students who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or visually impaired. They are supported in various settings, including at their school or through itinerant specialists who travel to different schools to work with students, rather than being based in a single school. Learn more about Services for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and Services for Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired.

Visit the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) website for Resources for Serving Students with Sensory Disabilities.

 

Tutoring Resources for Families

Is your family looking for resources to help support your child’s academic success? FCPS’ Family Resource Center (FRC) maintains a list of district employees who hold a valid Virginia teaching credential and who are available to be hired as a tutor by parents. FRC maintains this list, but families are responsible for contacting and working directly with tutors. This list is not “approved” by FCPS and is only meant as a resource.

 

FCPS also partners with Varsity Tutors to provide students and families with extra resources for learning. 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, study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests.

 

✨ FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan Goal 3: Academic Growth and Excellence, reminds us of our commitment to supporting each and every student and helping them meet or exceed high academic standards.
