If you would like to volunteer with setting up the fair, helping students preview or shop for the fair, or serve as a guest reader for Family Night, please contact Ms. Lanier, our librarian, as soon as possible at allanier@fcps.edu or call 703-329-2116.
Once again, thank you for your support and see you at the book fair!

Kids' Clothes Don’t Fit???
With the wet and muddy playground this year, we are running low on girls' leggings and boys' sweatpants in our clothing closet.
If you are cleaning out those clothes that don’t fit anymore, consider sending in those stretchy pants for Ms. Diaz in the clothing center.
All children’s sizes are welcome. (We’ll even take those stretchy shorts for when Spring rolls around!)
Thank you!

Mindfulness for Children: Evidence-Based Practices to Use at Home
The use of yoga and mindfulness in schools is on the rise and it’s no wonder why. These evidenced-based practices are the perfect tool to support your children in developing strong social-emotional development and improving behavior and academic performance. Participants will learn the basics and benefits of yoga and mindfulness and will walk away with practical and creative ways to encourage the use of these holistic practices at home.
Friday, December 7, 2018, 10 a.m.-noon
Register for Mindfulness for Children: Evidence-Based Practices to Use at Home
The workshop will be held at the Dunn Loring Center for Parent Services, Entrance 1, Room 100.
Language interpreters and accommodations are available for all Parent Resource Center workshops upon request by contacting us at 703-204-3941 or prc@fcps.edu
Make Plans for Inclement Weather
PLEASE DO NOT PHONE THE SCHOOL!!!
When Fairfax County Public Schools have a schedule change (closing or delay) due to inclement weather or other emergencies, the information is communicated as soon as the decision is made in these ways:
- Posted on fcps.edu.
- Posted to the FCPS Twitter and Facebook
- Email and text messages sent to parents and employees.
- Email sent to News You Choose subscribers of Delayed Openings and School Closings.
- Posted on FCPS cable Channel 21 (Cox Communications, Reston Comcast, and Verizon cable customers only).
- Area radio and television stations.
- REMEMBER, Cameron is a Fairfax County Public School.
Parents are urged to make arrangements now for the care of their children when schedule changes are made (and to provide for the rare situation when it is necessary to close an individual school because of a power failure or other circumstances). Children should know where to go or what to do if a parent will not be at home.
