Career and Transition Services Event for Parents and Educators
On Saturday, February 10, 2018, Career and Transition Services along with several Fairfax County adult service providers and the FCPS Parent Resource Center, will host “Super Transition Saturday” from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Lanier Middle School. This is a free event for parents and educators of students with IEPs of all ages, elementary through high school. Breakout sessions will cover postsecondary support services, student self-determination as an evidence based predictor of postschool success, and in-school career and transition support services that are available to FCPS students as they progress through the secondary years toward graduation and beyond. A highlight of the day is a parent and student panel representing a range of challenges and successes. Members of the panel will convey personal experiences and answer parent and student questions from their perspectives of having been through the transition process. Childcare is provided for ages 3 and up and requires advance registration. You can register at: Super Transition Saturday. The snow date will be February 24, 2018.
 60 Minutes to Better Health
This month, our health focus is about the importance of physical activity. Exercising makes you feel better and gives you more energy. Growing kids need 60 minutes of exercise each day. You can help students stay active all day — even shorter 10-15 minute bursts of exercise count. It doesn’t matter what you do, just be active at least 60 minutes every day!
Get one hour of play every day!
