Parent Accounts for SchoolFusion/Edulink
This year parents have a new single user ID and password that will access both SchoolFusion and Edulink. This single account will access all children in a family, even in multiple Prince William County schools. Parents will be able to create their accounts using a special Passcode they can pick up in the Counseling Department. If a parent cannot pick up a passcode, you may submit this form to the Counseling Department via fax or mail. For directions how to create this account once you have your passcode, click here.

Change in Flex Schedule
Stonewall Jackson has a built in FLEX period that meets every other day that is typically reserved for remediation and/or enrichment activities. Due to the significant loss of instructional time, we will alter our FLEX guidelines to allow for the introduction of new material during this time. This will begin starting the week of February 22nd until the end of the school year on June 18th to ensure that we are able to teach the entire curriculum prior to end-of-course assessments and final exams.

Business Department Student of the Month
The Business Student of the Month for February is Josh Fleming. Josh's track record in the Business Department is quite impressive because he is taking Advanced Computer Information Systems, Multimedia/Desktop Publishing, Business Law, Business Management and Advanced Programming. Not only does he complete his work on time (or before it's due), earns top grades, and often helps other students in class...he often goes "the extra mile" to explore more "in depth" software programs in his programming class. Recently, Josh participated in the FBLA competition by submitting a banking program which tied together his abilities in all his classes. To say that the business teachers are proud of him is an understatement. We applaud you, Josh, and congratulations!
