Partners in print family night has been rescheduled for Thursday, December 13th at 5:30PM. Please come learn reading strategies that you can use with your children while enjoying some cookies and juice. We will end the night with a book give away for all children who attend.
Thanks to all of the students who participated in the i9 Sports "I Love My School" writing contest. It is evident that each of you really worked hard on your entries. Congratulations to Mayssoune Bougria, who was selected as the student winner of the Amazon Kindle Tablet.
Mr. Blandi's class did an amazing job with 100% class participation. Due to the 100% participation in Mr. Blandi's, his class will receive a pizza party from i9 Sports and a popcorn party from our PTA.
Once again, thank you all for participating. The entries are truly inspiring.
Pets are not permitted on school grounds because it is a health code violation and maybe cause a safety concern. Pets react differently when they are excited or among crowds, which may frighten some students. Our goal is to ensure a safe and welcoming school environment so please keep the pets off school grounds. Thank you!
Fairfax County Public Schools will be moving to a new vendor to provide emergency and essential email, text, and phone notifications beginning December 14, 2018. If you currently receive emergency and essential communications via email, text, or phone, you do not need to do anything as you will continue to receive this information.
Parents and guardians who have included a cellphone number (in the cellphone field) on a student’s emergency care card will receive a text message on December 14 to confirm the account is set up to receive text messages from FCPS. You do not need to do anything when you receive the text message from the new vendor, School Messenger, on December 14th. If you do not receive a text message, please check the contact information listed on your child’s emergency care card in weCare. Your cellphone number must be listed in the cellphone field in order to receive text messages from FCPS.
New this year, parents can enter their student’s cellphone number in weCare so that their student will also receive text messages for delayed openings, school closings, and late bus notifications. The student’s cellphone number will need to be entered in Section 4, under Additional Information. If the student’s cellphone is listed in weCare, they will also receive the text message on December 14.
Emergency and essential information includes:
- Emergency
- Delayed openings/school closings
- Attendance
- Early release
- Buses running late
- Low lunch balance
- Power, telephone, internet outages or facility repairs
- Back to school information
- Important testing dates
If you have recently changed your contact information, please be sure to update the emergency contact information in weCare.
As a reminder, in addition to email and text messages, all FCPS weather delays and openings are also posted on Twitter, Facebook, FCPS website, school websites, and local radio and television broadcasts. Read more about Weather Cancellation Procedures.
