Dear Panther Families,
We are moving along in 2020. It is already the middle of January.
Safety Drills continue in the new year. We completed our January lockdown drill this week. Staff and students did an excellent job participating in this safety drill. There are still several safety drills upcoming this year: one more lockdown drill, monthly fire drills in and the annual tornado drill in March.
Please remember that next week is a short week with no school on Monday for the Martin Luther King, Jr holiday. The following week is also a short week for students. There is no school for students on January 27-28 due to the Teacher Workday and Staff Development Day.
We hope you have a wonderful long weekend!
Ms. Andujar and Ms. Walker

Inclement Weather Information
When FCPS cancels or delays the opening of school due to inclement weather or other emergencies, staff, students, and parents are notified in multiple ways as soon as the decision is made.
FCPS' official Twitter account, @fcpsnews (with the blue check mark), is where you'll first see closing or delay announcements. That's because we've found Twitter to be the fastest, most effective method of disseminating news. Additional communication channels used to announce a delayed opening or closure include FCPS’ public website, email, text, Facebook, local television and radio stations, and Channel 21. Subscribers to the Delayed Openings and School Closings email on News You Choose will also be notified.
Please keep in mind that there may be a delay from the time messages are transmitted to them being received by users. More than 588,000 emails and texts are being transmitted during every weather closure or delay. However, FCPS has no control over how long it takes cell and internet service providers to distribute emails and texts to customers.
Please view FCPS' Weather Cancellation Procedures page for more information on weather closings and delays.
