Parent and Student Support Services
Armstrong has a strong student services team, consisting of a counselor, a full and part-time school psychologist, and a full-time school social worker to help our students and their families with various matters. These clinicians can refer students or families to Fairfax County Public School Resources and other Fairfax County Resources. Please contact one of our school social workers if your child or family need help to find resources for school lunches, food clothing, school supplies, eyeglasses, medical care, and more. Our school psychologists and school social workers can refer children and families for mental health services. Please click the student services team link above for contact information and more professional background information on our counselor, psychologists, and social workers.
