 Students in our Head Start program learned about the Safety Patrol program recently. The Safety Patrol program allows older students to assist with safe arrival and dismissal procedures such as boarding buses and walking through the hallways safely. Our youngest students were so excited about their "big" heroes they decided to create their own Safety Patrol belts and became Patrols for the day!

 Video: How to Register a Child for School
Are you the parent of a rising kindergartner or a student new to FCPS? Or maybe you know someone who is? Take a look at (and please share) this video, an overview of the five-step process for student registration.
Written instructions for the five-step student registration process are available for kindergarten registration and grade 1 thru 12 registration on the FCPS website.
Medication Pick Up
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time at 1:05 p.m. on the last day of school June 13, 2019. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. If your student has medication in the health room this year, a letter was sent home in the backpack and blank forms for next year were included for your convenience. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school. Please be sure medication orders are clear. All information on the form must be completed.
If your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student his or her medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide, Susan Melendez, at (703) 329-2110, or your school public health nurse, Christine Notarianni, at (703) 329-2111.
Thank you for your cooperation
