Tdap Notice for Parents of 6th Graders
Virginia Law requires that all students entering 7th grade receive a booster dose of the Tdap vaccine prior to the beginning of school. The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) and is usually given around the age of 11, although it can be given as early as seven years of age.
In order for your child to begin 7th grade you will need to submit a copy of your child’s immunization record showing the Tdap vaccine before the first day of school on August 25, 2020. It is recommended that all paperwork is submitted to the school office by June 12, 2020.
NOTE: After June 12th, 2020, T-dap Documentation will need to be delivered directly to Lake Braddock MS or Irving MS.
Gentle Reminder
All students must be in their seats by the 9:10 a.m. bell. If your child is running late, an adult must bring them into the office and sign them in.
Kindergarten Orientation
There will be a Kindergarten Orientation for both parents and students at Sangster Elementary School on Wednesday, April 1st at 6PM. We encourage parents to schedule a registration appointment prior to the Orientation. Please call 703-644-8203 or email mthoelscher@fcps.edu for an appointment. Please share this information with any parent of a rising Kindergarten child in your neighborhood that may not have a child currently at Sangster.

Positivity Project - Week of February 24th
This week’s character strength is Enthusiasm. Those who possess this strength approach life with excitement and energy and energize people around them. This strength often leads to a higher level of involvement and engagement both for individuals and for groups. These people are often identified as early leaders and innovators as a result of their outward excitement about a task or project. People with enthusiasm and zest are happy, but this strength goes beyond happiness or pleasure. It is an activated positive energy, and associated with self- realization and autonomy. For individuals, zest and enthusiasm are easily identifiable and highly desirable personality traits. We feel good when we are energized by an activity or opportunity – and we like to spend time with people who are excited about life. Those who demonstrate a high level of enthusiasm are more likely to complete tasks and exceed minimum requirements as a result of their passion.
This Upcoming Week's Character Strength: Zest/Enthusiasm
Next Week's Character Strength: Other People Matter Mindset with an emphasis on cheering others' successes
