Over the next several months the existing building is being renovated. Effective January 15, 2020, the walking path that leads from the Wedgewood community around to the front of the school building will not be accessible due to construction work. Students walking from the Wedgwood community may enter the building at door #12 OR walk on the sidewalk around the back of the building to access the quad and modular. If students who walk from the Wedgewood community arrive late to school, they will need to walk on the sidewalk around the back of the building to either door #9 (new wing) or door #3 (existing building) to ring the doorbell. Parents needing access the main office will access the school’s campus from the front parking lot.

It is a policy of Fairfax County Public Schools that all visitors report to the Office. (A “visitor” is anyone, including a parent, who is not employed by Annandale Terrace.) All visitors, family members, and volunteers are required to sign in at our visitor management system in the school office to improve the security of our students while they are in the building. The system requires that our visitors and volunteers scan their licenses and obtain a photo label name tag before entering the classroom areas. Please remember to bring your license or state issued ID card when visiting the school. Please wear the badge where it can be seen, as it is for your child’s safety.

Students are not to remain at school after dismissal unless they are attending a supervised after-school activity in which their parent has enrolled them, or their parent has been notified in writing or by telephone that the teacher wishes them to stay. Please call us if your child does not come home at the usual time. If you get the school’s automated message, and/or if it is after regular business hours, then please call the FCPS School Security Office at 571-423-2000. The FCPS School Security Office will contact transportation staff members in order to determine the whereabouts of your child.
A student going home with another student must have a note from his/her parent plus a note from the parent of the friend he/she is visiting. All students are expected to go directly home after school.

It is extremely important that we have your correct address and phone numbers. Please keep the office informed of any changes with home, work, or emergency contact information.
We must have an emergency care form (“Emergency Care Information”) with this information on file for each student. The parent’s/guardian’s signature at the bottom of the form authorizes a physician to provide emergency treatment for your children if you are not present. It is essential that this form is completed and returned to school as soon as possible. In order to have the most up-to-date information, please NOTIFY THE SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY if there are any changes in your address, phone number, diagnosed allergies, or your emergency contact person. There have been times when we have needed to contact a parent or other person in an emergency, but were unable to do so due to incomplete or incorrect contact information.
