Class Placement for 2024-25 School Year
As the end of the school year approaches one of our important tasks is to determine class placements for the following year. The school staff works collaboratively to plan teacher and student assignments. A variety of factors such as student personalities, friendships, gender, and academics are considered as we create new classes.
Silverbrook families have an option to assist in placements by providing insights about their child(ren). Please note the following restrictions:
- We will not accept requests for specific teachers. This includes hints to referencing teachers or emailing your child’s teacher with a request directly. Please include characteristics of a teacher that would be a good fit for your child(ren).
- Input must be submitted by the deadline, Wednesday, May 29, 2024, to be considered. We will not accept late requests; we need time to process and confer with grade-level teams.
- We cannot guarantee friend requests. While it’s helpful for us to share some names of close friends, we defer to the placement team on placements and cannot guarantee friend requests.
- Keep in mind that placement decisions are made with your student and their strengths in mind. We purpose to create classes that are as balanced as possible considering what we know about the students we serve.
The deadline for any correspondence regarding the upcoming school year (2024-2025) is Wednesday, May 29, 2024, please complete this form.

Support Your Child’s Success in SIS ParentVUE
Caregivers can view important information in ParentVUE such as attendance, grades, progress reports, and assessment scores.
Once you have activated a ParentVUE account for your FCPS student, you will keep the same account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same ParentVUE account. An app is also available for Apple and Android devices.
Need help creating a SIS ParentVUE account? This video explains the steps. Find out more.
If you already have an account, be sure your contact information is up-to-date. Parents/guardians can update their phone numbers or email addresses in the Parent/Guardian section. View more information on ParentVUE.

Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.
New SOL Growth Reports for Grade 3-8 Tests
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.
To help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring.
The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year.
Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.
Early Dismissal on the Last Day of School
The last day of school is Wednesday, June 12. All secondary and high schools will have a two-hour day with dismissal at 10 or 10:10 a.m. Elementary and middle schools will be dismissed two hours early. Silverbrook will dismiss at 1:35 pm.
