Early Dismissal: September 19th

September 19th is a FCPS 'school planning day'.  School will dismiss 3 hours early. 

Dismissal for Sunrise Valley will be at 1:05 pm. 

Please note this is a different early dismissal time from years past which used to be two hours early.    

See the complete 2018-19 school year calendar.


Picture Day is Thursday, September 27th

Look for order forms coming home in your child’s Friday folder on September 21st!  Student portraits will be taken for inclusion in the yearbook.  Those with a completed order form handed in on or before September 27th will receive a portrait package later in the fall.  

We are looking for a few picture day volunteers.  If you would like to help out with either a morning or afternoon shift, please contact Melissa Simon in the school office at mdsimon2@fcps.edu.  Volunteers receive a credit voucher from Lifetouch Photographers.    


Advanced Academics Program (AAP) Parent Information Session

If you are interested in learning about AAP in Fairfax County, please attend our parent information session on Friday, September 28th from 8:15-9:00 am in SVES room 207.

During this session, we will review the four levels of AAP service available to students as well as the screening process for Level IV (full-time) AAP services.

This meeting will be particularly helpful for parents of second grade students and parents of students new to our FCPS community who are interested in the AAP program.

If you are unable to attend, please make note of the following important dates to our Level IV screening schedule this year:

Thursday, October 11th: Level IV referral forms and screening materials are due for any new to FCPS student in grades 3-6 interested in transitioning to a Level IV classroom during the second half of the 2018-2019 school year.

Thursday, January 10th: Level IV referral forms and screening materials are due for any student in grades 2-6 interested in the Level IV program for the 19-20 school year.

Please contact Sara Balcanoff at sebalcanoff@fcps.edu with any questions.
