New Books!

We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church for raising the money to be able to donate HUNDREDS of books to our Roadrunners. Every Roadrunner is able to take home a brand new book this Spring Break! How awesome is that? We hope all students and staff get some reading in this week!

Student Check-Out Procedures

In order to keep all our students safe, Fairfax County Public Schools has certain procedures for all schools to follow.  Please take a moment and look over our Check-Out Procedures and update any information as needed.

  • Photo identification is required for adults picking up students during the school day.
  • If parents know that they are going to pick up their child early, please send a note stating the time and reason for pick up.
  • If a person other than a parent is going to pick up the child, a note signed by the parent must be provided or a phone call must be made alerting office staff of the change. School staff must know the person’s name and the person MUST be on the Emergency Care Form.
  • If photo ID cannot be provided or a name isn’t on the Emergency Care Form, the child will not be released from school. Office staff will call the parent and let them know the situation.

Thank you for following these procedures.  We want to make sure our students and families stay safe.
