Sent on behalf of Douglas A. Tyson, Assistant
Superintendent, Region 1
Dear Parents, Guardians, and
Staff:
I want to provide you an
update on the current space at Vienna Elementary School and plans for next
school year.
FCPS is committed to
ensuring that all elementary class sizes remain within the class size caps
determined by the School Board (28 for kindergarten; 29 for other grades).
At this time, based on
current enrollment projections for the fall, Vienna ES is not planning to
receive additional staffing for the 2018-19 school year. As a result, it will
not be necessary for FCPS to occupy additional School Age Child Care (SACC)
rooms for the upcoming school year.
However, if this should
change due to an increase in enrollment and Vienna ES would require additional
staffing, then FCPS would consider utilizing one or both SACC rooms for
classroom space. FCPS staff have already met with staff from SACC and they are
preparing to have both the cafeteria and gymnasium approved for use in case
there is a need. There is no need to change the school boundary for 2018-19
school year.
It is likely that we will
continue to have a community conversation about the potential for future
boundary plans in response to the population trends in the Town of Vienna. We
will keep you updated.
Have a great summer and we
look forward to seeing you in August.
Sincerely,
Douglas A.
Tyson
Assistant
Superintendent, Region 1
