Dear Families,
At Little Run, we are committed to supporting our entire community in a successful start to our school year. In order to accomplish this, here are a few items that will be rolled out to families in the next month:
- Survey for parents and upper grade students about the successes and areas of growth from this past spring
- A website for students and parents that will focus on the transition back to school
- Resources and tutorials to support families with distance learning
- Virtual family orientation sessions and a virtual Back to School Night
To prepare for your child’s return, we have also been working on:
- An instructional schedule that will support student learning
- Professional learning around strategies for teaching in a virtual environment
- Plans to support students’ social & emotional learning
- Ways to continue building our Little Run community
As we prepare for a virtual start, we are also keeping in mind the need to be able to pivot to in-person learning when FCPS determines we can safely bring students back to the building. We appreciate your patience as we work through these many details. Once we have more information, we will share it with families.
Stay safe, Roadrunners!

Have a school laptop at home?
We want to make sure your laptop is ready for when school starts! It is important that you do the following EACH WEEK:
- Plug the laptop into an outlet
- Turn the laptop on and let it boot up
- Ensure it is connected to the internet
- Let the laptop sit for 30 minutes. No additional log-ins or activities are required.
By doing these things, you will ensure your laptop has all of the updates and you will be ready to go when school starts!
iReady Instruction Access Ending Today, Friday, July 31
The iReady online reading and mathematics instructional resources that were available for students during June and July will be turned off today, Friday, July 31, 2020. Students and families will no longer be able to access this online resource starting next week. New online resources for language arts and mathematics will be available for students at the beginning of the school year.
PTA School Supplies, Yearbooks, & Class Pictures
Be on the look out for information about the PTA school supplies pick up date in an upcoming News You Choose. To save you a trip, we will coordinate with the PTA to also distribute yearbooks and class pictures on this same day. Stay tuned!

We look forward to seeing our families!
Mental Wellness Consultations
The FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will continue to offer mental wellness consultations throughout the summer. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being or if your child would like to speak with a school psychologist or school social worker, please request a consultation. Our FCPS mental health providers are available to help families get needed support through a 45-minute phone consultation or through secure video conferencing. Appointments are open to all FCPS families.
Consultations are offered in two ways:
-
Directly to parents of students in any grade level. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social-emotional, behavioral, or academic functioning. Information about community resources will also be made available.
-
Directly to students in middle or high school. This consultation provides support and strategies to students who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, mood, behavior, or peer or family interactions; as well as academic challenges such as organization, time-management, or adjusting to a new school.
We encourage parents to take advantage of this service. Click here to request a consultation. You may also leave us a message at 571-423-4276.
Be Informed, Stay Involved!
