[quote=Anonymous]I'm looking at the most recent weekly FCPS mailing and it highlights lots of academic information, and includes other information is completely relevant to the community that supports academic achievement. It's useful and feels like it is coming from a strong public school system I swear people will get themselves worked up and form opinions without evidence:

Details:

It announces that Mosaic Elementary won a National Blue Ribbon award, which is awarded for academics--high performing schools that also close achievement gaps.
It shows the superintendents report on the opening of the schools and the state of various FCPS programs/projects (includes academics)
It announces 237 National Merit Award winners in FCPS.  For academics achievement, obviously.
It encourages attendance in school and emphasizes why attendance matters (for academic success!)
It elicits community response on how ESSER funds were spent to support student success (relevant to academics)
It gives info on college and post-secondary fair week (relevant to academics)
It shares info on FCPS Career and Technical Education (relevant to academics)

The things not specifically academic, but more community/school information:

It reports on a McLean HS teacher will be on Wheel of Fortune
Reminder that school is closed for Rosh Hashanah (not academic, but important info to note the schools are closed that day).
It reminds rules for athletic/spectator events (not academics, but important community info)
It gives information on Covid Booster shots (not academics, but important community info)
It announces a fitness and health screening event for the community
Provides link to a website that keeps a registry of people who have committed sex crimes against minors to help parents protect their kids (important community info)
Provides a link to FCPS Rules and Regulations (required to regularly share that info)
