Last week, FSES fifth graders began their Global Awareness Technology Project. They worked in small groups to collaborate on creating an essential question on which to base their project. The project is hard work, but the fifth graders are up for the challenge!
Please join us for the sixth grade's production of Shrek, Jr., on Wednesday, April 3. Due to limited space, the afternoon performance will be for students only. Family and friends are invited to attend the evening performance at 7:00 p.m. in the FSES cafeteria.
Stay up-to-date on school bus arrivals with FCPS' bus delay notification system. This system provides parents with timely notification of late bus route information. Access it directly online. Morning bus route information will be available until noon. The afternoon bus route information will be available from 1:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. E-Notify (BlackboardConnect) email messages will also be sent to announce bus delays.
Need assistance or have questions? Visit the FCPS Transportation page for more information.
The FSES Kindergarten Orientation will be held on Friday, April 5, from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. If you are the parent of a rising kindergarten student for the 2019-2020 school year, please notify Ann Rajabi, the FSES Registrar/Student Information Assistant, so she can add your child to the orientation roster and send you the orientation information. You may contact her at (703) 506-7901 or arajabi@fcps.edu. Also, if you know any families who live within the Franklin Sherman boundary and who have a rising kindergartener, please direct them to contact Mrs. Rajabi as well.
On March 24, you received an invitation from Dr. Scott Brabrand, Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools, to participate in the 2019 FCPS Family Engagement Survey. We would love for you to complete the survey letting us know how we are doing in the areas of:
- Communicating.
- Providing you opportunities to partner.
- Developing positive relationships.
- Ensuring student success and more.
The survey will be available between March 24- April 12.
The information we learn from you will help us strengthen family engagement and continue fostering a caring culture throughout FCPS.
There are 3 ways you can complete the survey:

- Ask the front office staff for a paper survey. You can complete it right on the spot.
