November Newsletter Message from Ilryong Moon

Can you believe we only have two months left in 2024? Time is flying, and November is packed with important dates to remember. As the weather gets cooler and we prepare for the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to reflect and get ready for what’s ahead.

First, mark your calendars for Daylight Saving Time, which ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour! Enjoy that extra bit of sleep as we transition into shorter days and longer evenings.

Another significant date to remember is November 5. It’s Election Day! This year is especially important as it’s the presidential election. Make sure your voice is heard—plan your vote, whether you’ll be heading to the polls in person or mailing in your ballot. Every vote counts!

On November 11, we pause to celebrate Veterans Day, honoring the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces. Please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices they’ve made and, if you can, attend a local Veterans Day event, or thank a veteran personally. It’s a meaningful day to show our appreciation for their service.

Finally, Thanksgiving will soon be upon us! This year, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 28, and it’s the perfect time to gather with family and friends, share a meal, and reflect on all we have to be thankful for. Whether you’re cooking up a traditional turkey feast or trying out new recipes, it’s a day to embrace the spirit of gratitude and enjoy the company of loved ones. We know the holidays can be a busy time, but it's so important to take a moment to relax and enjoy the simple joys of the season.

Happy Turkey Thanksgiving!

Best,

Ilryong Moon

What’s Happened in October

In observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month, I was invited to join with my colleagues in a meeting with the Hispanic educators group, which was held on October 16. It was a valuable experience to convene and engage in discourse with colleagues, exchanging ideas for the advancement of our collective endeavors in the forthcoming year.

¡Muchas gracias por la invitación!

I was invited by Langley High School's World Affairs Club, and I made a presentation to share about the Korean War and the experiences of immigrants in the United States. Through the presentation, students gained insight into the historical context of the Korean War and were also able to engage with the latest diplomatic issues concerning South Korea and the Korean peninsula.
I had the privilege of spending time with aspiring diplomats and experts in foreign affairs. I am grateful for the invitation and extend my thanks to the club members for the book ‘Choong Hyo Ye’ (충:忠·효:孝·예:禮) and the card signed by all.

Legislative Briefing/Breakfast was held on October 8 at the FCPS Gatehouse Administration Center. During the briefing, the state and federal legislative programs and priorities were discussed. Topics included state funding, workforce shortages, and student academic success, safety, security, and well-being. The Legislative Briefing/Breakfast was an opportunity for lawmakers and School Board members to exchange ideas and concerns, leading to the creation of a more effective pathway for students and the Fairfax County community.

Shout-out to Herndon High School - Virginia College Application Week

Amazing 240 students from Herndon High School visit the College App Lab—many returning multiple times.

Of those students, 20.5% of the students are the first in their families to attend college—a significant milestone for them and for our future!

A total of 112 students completed the state-created Virginia College Application Week (VCAW) survey, resulting in an astonishing 361 college applications submitted by Herndon students over the course of the week. The top schools on the list were James Madison University, University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Following closely behind were Christopher Newport University, Virginia Commonwealth University, George Mason University, Old Dominion University, and William & Mary.

By making use of the resources available during VCAW, the students collectively saved nearly $20,000 in application fees—estimated at $55 per application, as the application fees range from $50-75.

The Herndon Hornets, the class of 2025 is on their way to success!

Challenges We Face

We tout our academic successes in many areas. Recently, we published our SAT scores and compared them with the state's scores. I am glad that our scores well exceed the state numbers. However, that is expected and does not surprise me at all. What we really should strive to achieve is to stay as the top school district, and that is where we may be falling short in a number of aspects.

I am sharing our SAT scores and graduation data, compared with a couple of school districts around us. The SAT scores are compared with the scores from Arlington, Loudoun County, and the state, while the graduation data are compared with the Loudoun County's. We still have lots of work to do.

Figures from 2020-2023 SAT Average Scores are from WABE (The Washington Area Boards of Education Guide) and Arlington County Public Schools Quick Facts for 2022, and for 2024 numbers are Total Mean Scores provided by Superintendent Dr. Reid.

Figures from VDOE - VA School Quality Profiles and Annual reports of Graduates & Completers.

You may already know that November 22 is officially designated as Kimchi Day here in Virginia. Thanks to Delegate Irene Shin (D), who brought the resolution to the House of Delegates in 2022, we now have an official day to celebrate this delicious food! The resolution was a resounding success, passing both chambers of the General Assembly unanimously!

We're celebrating this year at the Fairfax County Government Center on November 8 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.! Learn how to make it, enjoy lunch, and take home your own batch. There will also be traditional Korean arts performances, and it promises to be a wonderful event where you can experience Korean culture firsthand.

Come and join us!

RSVP by calling 703-509-5010 or 703-939-5527.

What We’ve Learned in the First Month! Message from Ilryong Moon

I hope you had a fantastic start! Are you thrilled for another month of adventure?

I'm so excited to share that earlier this month, I was invited to the Chantilly High School Homecoming Parade. Some of my colleagues and I were lucky enough to join in on this wonderful day. We had an absolute blast!

We were on a truck marching in the parade with the rest of the Chantilly students and families.

Thank you for your invitation, Chantilly Chargers!

(With School Board Members Seema Dixit, Sandy Anderson, and Ryan McElveen and their families)

Wishing you all to have a pumpkin-blast October!

Best,

Ilryong Moon

Former FCPS Intern Teacher visits Home School

I was pleased to welcome a special guest, You Jin Lee, from Korea.
She was an intern teacher for a semester at West Potomac High School in 2012.

You Jin was a college student back then and is now a dentist married to a military spouse. Her husband is a dentist, too!

On her belated honeymoon, she came to Washington, D.C. with her husband Dr. Cho to visit her school. We were fortunate to have Principal Jessica Statz and Assistant Principal Brian Valentine show us around.

While on our tour, You Jin met her former mentor teacher Kathy Bowdring, who is a retiree working as an interim assistant administrator at school now.

This was a huge surprise to You Jin and Kathy!

It truly was a remarkable moment to see them reunite.

Dunn Loring Welcome Center

Recently, I had the privilege of visiting our Dunn Loring Welcome Center with my Staff Aide Sarah.

The Welcome Center is the first and most important step in enrolling in Fairfax County Public Schools.

The center is the central hub for families new to the district or seeking to register their children for school. It offers a range of services, including student registration assistance, information about FCPS schools and programs, immunization clinics, health services, language support, and technology assistance.

The Welcome Center provides a one-stop shop for essential resources, helping families navigate the enrollment process smoothly and effectively. Annually, the Student Registration Welcome Centers at Dunn Loring and other 2 satellite sites welcome approximately 5,000 students from outside of the U.S. (enrolling from international schools).

While visiting, I stopped by MAPS (George Mason and Partners) clinic.
About 90% of students who register at the Welcome Centers need access to healthcare services to meet the FCPS school health entry requirements. Options include the FCPS health department and the MAPS clinic, one of which is located at Dunn Loring Center.

In front of MAP Clinic at Dunn Loring Welcome Center

FCPS has an MOU with MAPS clinic, which specifies the types of healthcare services to FCPS students, including:

Physical exams
Immunizations
Mental Health counseling
Sports Physicals
Chronic Disease Management and Education (Ambulatory Clinic)

Immunizations help prevent the spread of contagious diseases within schools and the community. By ensuring that students are vaccinated, FCPS can create a healthier learning environment for all. Vaccinations protect individual students from serious illnesses that can have long-lasting consequences. Many of these diseases are preventable through immunization.

Sadly, it typically takes about 2 to 6 weeks for a student to get an appointment at a free/low-cost clinic. That is a too long a time to wait for students as they are not permitted in schools until they receive the shots first.

Even a day lost in a child’s schooling is too long.

We need to find ways to do better than now.

Lastly, during my visit I have heard some of our staff share their experiences, which have been bittersweet. They have dedicated a great deal of time to FCPS, yet most of them are still only considered hourly workers, even after 25 years for some.

FCPS also enrolls some students who are considered ‘unaccompanied youth’. There are also students in the district without a parent as a caregiver. They require significant support and resources.

Dunn Loring Center has a team of language community liaison specialists who are dedicated to helping students and families from abroad.

(Samuel Ramatowski, Kendra Dyer, Christina Mendoza, Rodrigo Aviles, Helen Ko)

The FCPS Welcome Centers offer essential resources to new students and their families, including snack packs, clothing, and school supplies. With the help of local partners, the centers have distributed over 1,000 snack packs and provided clothing items to families. Additionally, through Educate Fairfax, a recent donation of 2,000 school supply kits from the Mahan Hope Foundation has been distributed through the centers.

I would like to express my gratitude to all staff members who have provided invaluable support to our new students.

Thanks Samuel and Kendra for inviting us over!

Workforce Readiness

As a School Board Member At-Large, I am fortunate to be invited to many events and meetings across Fairfax County.

I had the privilege of joining our School Board Member Kyle McDaniel and Superintendent Dr. Reid at the Mason District Government Center with the County Supervisor Andres Jimenez and Kathy Smith to discuss the current state of workforce development and potential areas for improvement in our efforts to support students and families in Fairfax County Public Schools.

Our goal is to identify ways to enhance these efforts and create more promising opportunities for both employers and job seekers.

I emphasized on the need to provide more support for the English language training for those County residents who are new to our country.

Many of them are underemployed because of lack of sufficient language training.

The next meeting will be in January 2025.

Welcome back!

Welcome Back To School! Message from Ilryong Moon

Welcome back to school for the 2024-2025 academic year! I hope you all had a wonderful summer break! As we start this new chapter together, I wish you the best of luck in starting it off on the right foot. Speaking of new beginnings, I recently had the chance to visit Korea for two weeks.

Whenever I travel abroad. I try to meet with other educators there and learn from and share with them. While in Korea this time, I learned that one of the biggest worries they shared was the declining enrollment across the country due to a low birth rate.

Sadly, this was also affecting the number and caliber of students choosing teaching as a career. Korea has for many years prided itself for having the very top college graduates going into teaching; but, that is now at risk.

Recruiting and retaining high-quality educators is a challenge they're facing, just like many other countries, including our own, are addressing.

Despite advancements in technology, including AI, I firmly believe that teachers play an irreplaceable role in the classroom. They are the ones who truly inspire and guide students. Their dedication, guidance, and inspiration are invaluable.

I would like to extend my gratitude to our teachers and staff for opening another year of school in a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for our students.

As we enter autumn, the season of harvest, I'm looking forward to watching our students and teachers grow and succeed together. Let's make this year one to remember!

Best,

Ilryong Moon

Cell Phone Storage Pilot

In today's world, information is readily available at our fingertips, and smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. I understand that some students and families may initially feel reluctant to give up their mobile phones during class. However, I am confident that this pilot program will enhance students' focus and engagement during class. I am hopeful that it will bring positive results for our students in the years to come.

The policy for middle schools is as follows: Cell phones are prohibited from being used at any time between the first and last bells. This is referred to as a bell-to-bell ban. An exception to this rule is made for students with approved accommodations (i.e., medical, IEPs, and 504s).

In high schools, the policy is as follows: Cell phones are permitted during lunch, in the halls between periods, and in class with the express written authorization of the principal or a designee, provided that such use is necessary for academic purposes. Please note that students with approved accommodations (i.e., medical, IEPs, and 504s) are exempt from this rule.

Participating Schools

Frost Middle School Edison High School

Irving Middle School Falls Church High School

Jackson Middle School Justice High School

Poe Middle School Lewis High School

Robinson Middle School Madison High School

Thoreau Middle School McLean High School

Twain Middle School Robinson High School

Westfield High School

Once the pilot program results are presented in spring 2025, the School Board will decide whether to make any changes to the SR&R document and whether to implement secure storage across the board.

Aspiring young geographer Ryan Minton

In August, Ryan Minton from Langley High School achieved an admirable top-12 finish at the prestigious 2024 International Geography Championships in Vienna, Austria. The competition included students from 21 states, 16 countries, and Hong Kong. We met and talked. Ryan expressed a deep interest in geography. We even talked about the size of Korea as compared to Virginia, and to my amazement, he knew about the Sejong Special Self-Governing City launched in 2012. Ryan and his father Alan kindly brought a U.S.-ROK flag pin to share with me.

Ryan mentioned a possibility of inviting me to speak at the Langley World Affairs Club. I will be delighted to share my insights with the club if invited.

Our Monthly School Board News Message from Ilryong Moon

I can’t believe August is already here and we’re only days away from the start of another exciting school year. For me, this year is quite a milestone having arrived this month 50 years ago as a 17-year- old immigrant from a poverty-stricken family in Korea with only my hopes and dreams in my suitcase! What an incredible journey it’s been for me and how grateful I am to have had the good fortune to pursue education and make public service a core part of my life’s work.

We have an exciting new year awaiting all of us. Our students will soon be here. Our teachers are starting in just a few short weeks…and classrooms will be bustling with activities and energy to kick off another year.

One amazing thing about being a teacher or a student in public school is that no two years are ever exactly the same. Teachers begin their year with a whole new group of students with all different expectations and capabilities for great outcomes. Students bring with them a whole new set of expectations and openness to a wealth of new knowledge to take in. And it’s an exciting time to be part of the School Board where we have the luxury of seeing the best of what our schools have to offer in so many ways, whether it’s STEM courses or students attending academies for courses in Career and Technical Education (CTE) – or composing beautiful artwork or poetry to inspire love and admiration for nature and all things in nature that surround us. It’s a chance for everyone at new beginnings and how exciting it is to be part of that year after year.

I would like to welcome to the team my new Staff Aide, Sarah Park. Sarah is a product of the Fairfax County Public Schools and brings to the position a lively spirit and a wealth of knowledge having worked in our Office of Communications and Community Relations along with the Office of the Chief Experience and Engagement over the past couple of years.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Chris Lewis, who has served as my Staff Aide for SY 23-24. He has been an invaluable colleague and has provided excellent support to constituents in the FCPS Community. Let us celebrate his retirement! Thank you for your thirty years of service in FCPS, Chris.

And finally – for those of you who also might want to continue to be part of the process for improving our schools, there are still a couple of Community Advisory Committees to which I have not yet appointed anyone from our community. Please read on for more information.

Here’s to a fantastic 2024-2025 school year!

Best,

Ilryong Moon

A Big Win: A Young Go Prodigy at Stenwood ES

A round of applause for Louis Yang! Louis is a fifth grader at Stenwood Elementary School who recently won the National Championship in the Elementary Division of a Go competition held in Korea!

Go is a game played by more than 20 million people around the world. Despite its relatively simple rules, it is extremely complex. Compared to chess, Go has a larger board (19x19) with more scope for play and, on average, many more alternatives to consider per move. Go is a Japanese terminology, and the game is known as Baduk in Korea and Weichi in China.

Some key benefits of playing include improved memory and concentration, problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, critical thinking, discipline, and adaptability. It also teaches humility, even when winning.

I personally grew up playing this game from an early age, and it is a game that people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy together.

I hope that Go becomes more widespread and that more people, including our students, are able to enjoy this amazing game.

The American Go Association is excited to help bring this incredible game to our schools as extracurricular activities. They're willing to provide faculty stipends, find teachers, and even supply game sets!

Louis Yang, left, playing with Richard Duan of Cooper Middle School a few months ago in Fairfax. Richard founded a Go club at his school.
