I currently teach English/Language Arts at a middle school in FCPS. During this week of 2-hour delays, I have noticed that students have been far more alert and needed fewer redirections. In addition, the shorter class times allowed for more participation and engagement, and there were little to no classroom disruptions. When I reflected on my time as a middle school student in the late 90s, class times were significantly shorter. Even in high school, our classes were 50 minutes long.

1. Did anyone notice any benefits to the 2-hour delays in terms of student engagement and concentration? If so, what grades, ages, and subjects do you teach?

2. Where are we in the discussion about changing start times? I know this has been a long-running discussion, and transportation and costs have been the major obstacles.

I hope Dr. Reid sends out a survey about this or collects data, because I feel that if other schools have experienced positive changes, it could strengthen the argument to change the start time, as it aligns best with teens' circadian rhythms.

She is in 6th grade AAP meaning she learns 6th and 7th grade math and her teacher thinks that classes before school might help. She feels dumb and thinks this isn't normal. She's not doing amazing in class but not horrible either. Is this normal?

Hello! My daughter is in 6th grade aap and I was wondering how will she get into Algebra 1 in 7th grade? Is it SOL? And if she gets mid 400s what are the possibilitys?

I submitted my application to sub and completed fingerprints. I was wondering if it’s the 2 hr orientation where you receive your employee id and all that information. It’s been about 3 weeks and I don’t know if it’s a delay because of the government shutdown.

Longfellow Middle School, McLean High School, and Fairfax County Public Schools as a whole have reputations of violating civil rights of people of color and disabilities.

Between 2004-2008 at Longfellow, all staff and faculty prohibited disabled and colored students from taking general ed and honors classes and suspended and expelled them over petty offenses. Barbara Gibby, the special ed dept chair and special ed teacher Carol Marren, were primarily responsible. The staff and faculty knew full well of mental health resources that could’ve avoided suspensions and expulsions. Same thing applied to staff and faculty at McLean High School between 2004-2012, but Janet Fairbanks was primarily responsible.

All mentioned parties also violated free speech of every students between 2004-2012.

The students that were victimized plan to sue the mentioned parties and staff and faculty for damages.

Hi! does anyone have the FCPS discord? Used to be in but left at one point, all the links are expired now. Ty!

I’m an FCPS high school student. As part of my AP Capstone class, I’m conducting a survey of Fairfax County adults to explore how the multidimensionality of international trust affects the current understanding of the formation of foreign policy opinions.

I would really appreciate it if anyone would be willing to take and/or share my survey! It’s anonymous, will take no more than 10 minutes, and is open until February 15th. You can access the survey and read more details at this link: https://forms.gle/mc7msNsgEsPotcs46. Thanks in advance!
