Attendance Matters!

Please report absences/late arrivals by either leaving a message on the attendance line at 703-239-4040 or by emailing KGNotes@fcps.edu. Both are monitored continuously throughout the day by the school office and are the best ways to make sure that the school gets your message even if the teacher is absent on the day of your student's absence.


School Health Services Survey

The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians and school staff members who interact with the school health rooms. This may include principals, school counselors, and main office staff members. The survey has been approved for distribution by the FCPS’ Internal Survey Advisory Committee. Electronic versions of the survey forms may be accessed at:

Staff Survey  ~  Parent Survey (English)  ~  Parent Survey (Spanish)

The survey will take less than five minutes to complete and will provide the FCHD with valuable information. Your participation in this important endeavor is appreciated.
