Strive for 45: Become a daily reader. All students and future students should be reading on their own each day for 45 minutes. The brain is a muscle-it needs to work-out to grow, improve, and stay healthy. Research out of Harvard University suggests that students who read, on average, for 45 minutes every day score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests. Remember: Practice isn't something you do once you are good at something. Practice is what you do to get good at something! Practice your reading today and every day!

Restitution charges will be expected for any child who violates a peer’s yearbook with inappropriate comments. The pledge is as follows: I pledge to Adjustments to 2009-10 Bell Schedules: "As part of its adoption of the FY 2010 final budget, the Fairfax County School Board will adjust some school start times to gain $4.6 million in efficiencies in the transportation system. These adjustments are separate and apart from the proposal to change school start times that the Fairfax County School Board considered and voted to reject in March 2009. The adjustments focus on achieving efficiencies within the current bell structure, which the Fairfax County School Board voted to retain. The following bell schedule changes will be implemented in the 2009-10 school year."
