The Fairfax County Youth SurveyThe Fairfax County Youth Survey, a collaboration between the Fairfax County School Board and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, is a comprehensive, anonymous, and voluntary survey given each year to students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12. The survey examines behaviors, experiences, and other factors that influence the health and well-being of Fairfax County's youth. The results, published each year at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/youthsurvey, identify trends and areas of need, providing a snapshot of the county's youth and serving as a barometer of the community's effectiveness in fostering healthy choices in young people.
Quander Road School will be administering the Fairfax County Youth Survey on November 14 and 15 during their English class.
While it is our hope that as many students as possible will participate, if you do not wish for your child to take part in the Youth Survey, please complete the form linked here and return it to your child's school counselor no later than November 8, 2024. If you have already opted your child out of this survey using the Parental Digital Consent Portal you do not need to provide additional information to the school counselor.

Important Update: Cell Phone Policy and State InitiativeDear Parents and Students,
We are writing to inform you about a significant change in state policy regarding cell phone use in schools, as well as an update on Quander Road School's cell phone policy for the 2024-2025 school year.
Statewide Cell Phone-Free Education Initiative
Governor Glenn Youngkin has issued Executive Order 33 to establish a cell phone-free learning environment in Virginia's K-12 public schools. This initiative aims to improve student health, safety, and academic performance by reducing distractions and addressing concerns related to social media and cell phone addiction.
Research suggests a strong link between excessive screen time and various negative outcomes among youth. By creating a cell phone-free learning environment, we hope to foster a more focused and supportive atmosphere for all students.
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) will be providing guidance to school districts on implementing cell phone-free policies, and we will be paying close attention to their guidance.
Quander Road School Cell Phone Policy
To support the state's initiative and create a more focused learning environment, Quander Road School will be implementing the use of Yondr cell phone pouches for students who demonstrate the need and/or by parent request. These pouches will secure students' phones during the school day, allowing them to fully engage in their learning.
We believe that this approach will help to minimize distractions, improve classroom engagement, and create a more positive learning environment for all students.
In addition to the Yondr pouch policy, the following rules will also be enforced:
Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action, as outlined below:
We understand that this change may require adjustments for both students and parents. We appreciate your cooperation and support as we work to create a healthier and more productive learning environment for all.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
Ellen R. Glaser
Assistant Principal
Quander Road School
