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!

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.

e-Notify Emergency Messages Will Be Communicated via New Vendor Beginning December 14
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.
Parents and guardians who have included a cell phone number (in the cell phone 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 14. If you do not receive a text message, please check the contact information listed on your child’s emergency care card in weCare. Your cell phone 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 cell phone number in weCare so that their student will also receive text messages for delayed openings, school closings, and late bus notifications. The student’s cell phone number will need to be entered in Section 4, under Additional Information. If the student’s cell phone is listed in weCare, they will also receive the text message on December 14.
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.
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.
