Woodson Pyramid Listening Session:
A Conversation about Equity
The Woodson Pyramid is comprised of Woodson High School and it’s feeder schools: Frost Middle School, Canterbury Woods, Fairfax Villa, Little Run, Mantua, Olde Creek, and Wakefield Forest. The Woodson Pyramid Principals invite our communities to come together on Tuesday, August 11 from 7-8 PM to engage in a shared conversation around Cultural Proficiency/Cultural Responsiveness in our pyramid. This town hall will be facilitated by our Equity Leads and administrators from each school. We will present 3-5 guiding questions to solicit feedback around experiences and practices in our school community. This discussion will allow schools to draw similarities for future work around equity and Cultural proficiency/Cultural Responsiveness throughout our pyramid schools. Each school will hold a follow up town hall at another time to share specific actions happening in each individual school to address Cultural Proficiency / Cultural Responsiveness.

Will School Loan My Child a Laptop?
Yes! If your child borrowed a laptop last year, you may hold onto it. If it needs to be repaired or needs maintenance, please email LittleRun@fcps.edu and we will reach out to you to schedule an appointment. If you do not have a school laptop and/or a MiFi device and need one, please fill out this Laptop Request form as soon as possible. We also ask that you sign up for a time to pick up your child’s laptop through this Sign-up Genius. The distribution date is August 19th. Please note that your child must attend the laptop pick up with you!
Already 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!

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.
