Additional Information:
Laptops
On Monday, we will be distributing a limited number of laptops to students in grades 3-6 that do not have access to a device at home. Our school will be distributing to students between 12:00-2:30 p.m. You may come anytime in that window. Note that you must attend with your student to sign our parent consent form that allows us to assign a device to your student. We will also work with your student while on-site to make sure that they can log into the device before you leave. A few things to understand about the process on Monday:
ParentVue Accounts
This weekend, IT will be pushing out emails to any parent who does not currently have a ParentVue account. Please sign up if you do not have an account, this will be important for distance learning.
Food Distribution
Fairfax County Public Schools is providing emergency grab and go lunches at no cost for students at five sites to students (more sites may be added), from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. School-age students are welcome to come to any of the five sites below to pick up a lunch during that time period.
- Bailey’s Elementary School, 6111 Knollwood Drive, Falls Church
- Hutchison Elementary School, 13209 Parcher Avenue, Herndon
- Hybla Valley Elementary School, 3415 Lockheed Boulevard, Alexandria
- London Towne Elementary School, 6100 Stone Road, Centreville
- Burke School, 9645 Burke Lake Road, Burke
All meals are available at no cost to children 18 years and under. Adult lunches are available for purchase for $2.
Thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult time. As additional information becomes available, we will communicate with you as quickly as possible. We understand this is a difficult time and families may be feeling a variety of emotions around this closure. Take good care and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
Erika Aspuria
Principal
