Fairfax County Public Schools will be conducting a survey to gather information about family engagement in our schools. Relationships are important to us, and your opinion is critical to help us support your engagement in your child’s education. Your feedback will also help us determine how well we are reaching the goals for Caring Culture we have set in our Strategic Plan. Survey translations will be made available, and the survey can be taken on electronic devices, including smartphones.
Survey administration is scheduled for March 24-April 12, 2019, and you will receive more information about how to take the survey in the near future.
We look forward to hearing from you!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” -Dr. Seuss
NEA's Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of favorite children's author Dr. Seuss. Motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and creating lifelong, successful readers. Research has shown that children who are motivated and spend more time reading do better in school.
“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child.” -Dr. Seuss
Here are some fun and simple ways to celebrate Read Across America Day!!
-
Throw A Reading Party: Share a love for reading by inviting friends over for a Dr. Seuss themed reading party. Ask the attendees to dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character. Get comfy with Dr. Seuss books, enjoy some Dr. Seuss themed snacks, and talk about the timeless classics.
-
Cook up Some Reading Fun. Have fun in the kitchen with your kids and serve up some green eggs and ham or make a tasty Cat in the Hat snack by providing kids with wooden skewers and red and white foods. Have the kids alternate the red and white foods as they put them on the skewer and let them enjoy the snack as you read aloud.
-
Oh, the Places You’ll Go. In spirit of one of Dr. Seuss’ most popular books, map out all the places you and your children have read or are reading about on a U.S. or world map. Inspire reading 365 days a year and keep the project going. Every time your child reads about a new location, he can mark it on the map.
Our Woodley Hills Dino-Mite Book Fair is coming soon!
In order to make the Book Fair a success for our students, we need volunteers.
Please consider donating a few hours of your time to help us raise money for the Woodley Hills Library.
You can sign up to volunteer at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0c4ba4a628a64-2019
Students will shop with their classes at the Book Fair from March 14-March 20th.
Families are invited to our Family Night Event on March 14. We will be open from 3:30 until 7:30. We hope to see you there!
We need your help! We need parent volunteers to help us keep our book room organized. Please let us know if you are available to come help us alphabetize and put books away so that teachers can easily and quickly find books for their students. The job is completely flexible for days and hours; even if you only have ½ hour a week – it will help! Please contact Amy DiBendetto at 703-799-2000 or aldibenedett@fcps.edu, if you can help!
