The Positivity Project characteristic of the week for next week is TEAMWORK. Teamwork is the ability and willingness to place overall group success as a higher priority than individual achievement. We will encourage our dolphins to display teamwork in different ways throughout the week. #teamwork #otherpeoplematter |
There are several technology resources for students to use at home. They can be found on the Lake Anne website. Students log in with their FCPS username (student ID number) and password. Students are required to change their passwords each year for best practices. Please reach out to your classroom teacher if you need assistance with username and passwords at home. |

South Lakes is proud to have a strong athletics program and we love to see our future Seahawks at games. At this time of the year, our football games are where we see students from many of our feeder schools. Young students should only be attending games under the supervision of an adult. Knowing these few guidelines will help make attendance at our events a positive experience for all attendees:
- We do not allow guests to bring in large bags and/or book bags as well as outside food and drink. We are not able to provide storage or hold aside any large bags/backpacks.
- We do not have a large open space as some stadiums do to allow for tossing balls, playing chase or other activities that could impede the safety of others.
- Guests are expected to follow adult directions (parent volunteers, administrative staff, police on duty). SR&R applies to students attending school activities on FCPS grounds.
- After the event is over all guests should make their way home or to their next stop within 30 minutes. If you are picking up your student, please plan to do so within 30 minutes of the end of the event from the stadium side parking lot.
For our first home game we had approximately 3000 people in the stadium between spectators and participants. Members of the South Lakes administrative team supervise these events to ensure the safety of our athletes, students and guests during the event and for a short period while the facility is being cleared. Cooperation with these guidelines is appreciated.
Active learners are always questioning. Students who take responsibility for asking their own questions become more productive and engaged in their learning processes. Metacognition, or thinking about thinking, involves questioning our individual learning processes. Such questioning helps us solve problems by developing, implementing, and evaluating plans of action. Guiding the development of thinking skills in all students empowers them, increases their independence, and helps them develop to their maximum potential. Children always have a wealth of questions – encourage questioning in your child and work with them to find answers.
