 “Gracias, Buenos Dias” are just some of the phrases our Dogwood teachers learned last Wednesday evening. With the help of our amazing instructors (Lisa Stosch & Melissa Escobar) and parents, Dogwood teachers are learning how to speak Spanish. Muchas Gracias to all of our “madres-professoras” who are volunteering their time to help our teachers connect to our great community. We will continue our learning over the next seven weeks and look forward to speaking to you soon. #internationalmindedness #professoras
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid.
Why: Returning this form is important because information from this survey results in an anticipated $3 million dollars in grant funds each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
How: For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the box in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by October 26. All results are CONFIDENTIAL.
Learn more by watching this short video featuring Superintendent Scott Brabrand and the U.S. Army Garrison Commander COL Michael Greenberg from Fort Belvoir.

Bus Evacuation Drills Training
Many of our students have participated in bus evacuation drill trainings this week. FCPS bus drivers came with buses and explained the drill to students. Each student had the chance to practice and ask questions to the bus drivers.

Please help us keep students safe!
Crossing Glade Drive to get to the side of the street without the school on it can be dangerous. There is a crossing guard and cross walk for your safety. Please do not cross Glade Drive near the entrance of the bus loop (where the yellow rope is up in the afternoon). Please cross at the crosswalk with the crossing guard. Thanks for helping model safe practices.
