Week 6
Dear Parents,
Please consider coming to the open PTO meeting on Wednesday at 6:30 pm in our library. This night is like a Back-to-School Night for the principal. I will be discussing our school vision, goals, student wellness, and give some behind-the-scenes looks at the principalship as well as school issues. I will be taking questions. I need this night to provide context and color to our written messages and receive feedback in a non-email format!
The feedback I received after last year's meeting was, " I wish more people had been here to hear this."
Students in K-6 may hang out next door in our iLab during this meeting.

Fun Run Help Needed!
Our PTO is busy gearing up for their biggest
fundraiser of the year and a lot of help is needed to pull it off! Please
consider volunteering to support the logistics of the fun run. Many of these
activities are easy, doable at home and provide a great opportunity to see
the kids--they get pumped up this time of year! Please sign up here.
Hope you can spare some time to help.

Do You Have a ParentVUE Account?
FCPS is working on a
paperless option for report cards which should be in place by the 2nd
grading period. Once this is in place, you will need to
access your child’s report card through your ParentVUE account. If
you have not yet done so, please visit the site below to set up your
account. Should you have any questions regarding this process,
please contact our registrar, Marianne Showalter, at 703-295-1117 or mshowalter@fcps.edu

CogAT
The CogAT window for 2nd grade students and those eligible in grades 3-6 will be October 5-12. Please try to avoid scheduling appointments during the school day on these dates. Students need to arrive well rested in the morning, having had a healthy breakfast, on time, and relaxed. Thank you!
