Dear Hunters Woods Families,
The 2017-2018 school year has been filled with learning and
joy! From the first day of school to the last, we have watched our students
grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We have created so many treasured
memories together as students explored new ideas and built important skills in
classrooms and specials. They had fun on the playground and fields, went on
interesting field trips, and demonstrated what they learned with special
projects, learning nights, and performances. In each of these settings, our
students demonstrated kindness and compassion. Thank you for entrusting your
children to us, and for all of the support you have given to our staff and
school programs. We love to see how eager our students are to learn and to be
challenged each day, and we know this is in large part due to your love and
encouragement. Yesterday, we promoted our sixth graders to middle school. They
will be greatly missed, but we are confident that they will continue to achieve
success in all they do.
Please join us at our Open House on Thursday, August 23rd from
2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 28th.
Wishing you a wonderful summer,
Emily Cope, Sean McCartney & Karen Siple

Virginia Law requires that all students entering sixth grade
receive a booster dose of the Tdap vaccine prior to the beginning of school.
The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis
(whooping cough) and is usually given around the age of eleven.
In order for your child to begin 6th grade you will need to submit
a medical record showing that the Tdap booster was given prior to the
first day of school.
The Tdap booster is available from your child’s healthcare
provider or The Fairfax County Health Department.
Please see the link below for more information about The Health
Department clinic locations and hours: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/hdclinicsite.htm,
or by calling 703-246-2411.
You
may submit the documentation to Pattie Ono, Registrar, at pono@fcps.edu or bring it to the school main office.
