"Math Matters" Videos

The FCPS Mathematics and Immersion offices have collaborated to create Spanish versions of the elementary math videos that are streamed on Channel 21. These "Math Matters" videos are a core component of the Distance Learning plan to supplement the instructional activities within the weekly learning packets. "Math Matters" videos in Spanish have been posted to the FCPS YouTube site beginning on May 18th and will continue to be posted there until the end of the school year. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact our Bailey's Upper Math Resource Teacher, Heather Barber at HSBarber@fcps.edu.

FCPS Grab and Go Meals

Breakfast and lunch (both meals can be picked up at the same time) will be available from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Bailey's Primary Elementary School which is located at 6111 Knollwood Drive, Falls Church, Virginia.  The food distribution is set up outside. Breakfast and Lunch is free for students 18 years old and younger and $2.00 for adults.

 

Additional FCPS Grab and Go Updates

 

If you are missing an FCPS Learning Packet from the mail, please know extra packets are available at the Bailey’s Primary Grab and Go site.

 

FCPS transitioned many of the grab and go meal sites at school locations to curbside service.

 

View Complete List of Meal Sites and Timeshttps://www.fcps.edu/news/coronavirus-update-food-resources 

 

Curbside meal pick-up stations are generally located in the bus lanes at the schools or in the kiss and ride area.  Look for the canopy tent along with Food and Nutrition Services staff, who will deliver meals directly to vehicles. 

 

Walk-ups are still welcome at all sites. Walkers are asked to use school sidewalks to safely navigate their walk to the pick-up stations. 

Breakfast and lunch meals are available together and wherever meals are being distributed.

 

As a reminder, it is important to follow social distancing guidelines. Be sure to stand a minimum of 6 feet apart from others and practice regular hand washing, including prior to leaving a residence to pick-up meals, upon returning home, and before consuming food.
