Safe Routes to School Walking Wednesdays
FCPS Safe Routes to School in collaboration with Fairfax County Park Authority’s Move Your Way and Healthy Strides campaign will be promoting Walking Wednesdays during the 2020-2021 school year to encourage physical activity. Principals are encouraged to share the information below with their communities.
Walking Wednesdays is a county-wide community program designed to promote physical and mental health. FCPS Safe Routes to School in collaboration with Fairfax County Park Authority’s Move Your Way and Healthy Strides campaign encourages students and parents/guardians to take time each Wednesday to walk and connect with friends, neighbors and classmates before the school day and workday begins. Whether your walk takes you around the block, to the bus stop, or to your school, we hope you will find others out walking and can greet one another from a distance.
Walking Wednesdays will kick off on October 7, 2020, which is International Walk to School Day. Coming in November will be Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on November 18, 2020. More information about Walking Wednesdays can be found at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/safety-and-transportation/transportation-services/safe-routes-school-srts.
Families, neighborhoods or schools can register their participation in International Walk to School Day on October 7, 2020 at http://www.walkbiketoschool.org/registration/

Parent Consent for Select Digital Resources -PLEASE COMPLETE!
At Cub Run, our teachers will use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families. Some of the digital resources that your child may use this year will require your consent before they can be used. You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here: https://cubrunes.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources While your child may not use all of the tools listed on our website, our list includes any tools that our teachers at Cub Run may use which need parental permission. There are other tools that will be used which do not require parent consent.
Included on this page is also a link to the form where you need to indicate whether or not your child is allowed to use the listed digital resources this year. This page also provides more information about how FCPS carefully reviews digital resources for approval and why we must request your consent before using certain tools. We encourage you to complete the parental consent for digital resources form as soon as possible, as your child will not be able to use the digital resources until we have received your permission. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns about any digital resources that may be used this year.

From the PTA: Cub Run-a-Thon Information
The Cub Run-a-Thon is the PTA's major fundraiser and supports our PTA all year long! This year is going to look a little different - but the PTA still needs your support to keep the organization going through 2020. Join us for a virtual fun-run on November 2nd! Our total school fundraising goal for 2020 is $10,000. You can help to make this goal by having your child raise $20! This is a smaller amount than in years past, but it is the minimum we need to raise to continue to give support to our PTA and teachers during our distance learning adventures.

Family Life Education Instructional Program Information
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for kindergarten through grade twelve. The FLE program is designed to provide students with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to make healthy, responsible, respectful, and life-enhancing decisions related to human growth and development, relationships, and emotional and social health. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, non-punitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, please complete the form that accompanies this letter or access the opt out forms online.
Please fill in the opt-out form and return it to your child’s school, using one of the two methods below, prior to Family Life Education instruction in December.
- Email sdsobeki@fcps.edu and cagodinezcor@fcps.edu indicating which lesson(s) your child we bill opted out of and type “FLE Opt Out Lesson” in the subject line.
- Email a scanned copy of the Opt Out form to: sdsobeki@fcps.edu and cagodinezcor@fcps.edu and include FLE Opt Out Lesson” in the subject line.
Your child will be included in all Family Life Education instruction unless you request that he/she be opted out using the opt-out form. You do not need to return the form to the school if you wish for your child to participate in FLE instruction. If you return the opt-out form and later decide you want your child included in FLE instruction, you must notify the principal in writing.
Detailed grade-level program descriptions (lesson objectives and descriptive statements) are available for each grade level at Elementary (K-6) https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary-school-academics-k-6/elementary-family-life-education
In addition, grade level-specific curriculum lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available online in FCPS 24-7 Parent View https://fcps.blackboard.com/. Grade level-specific lessons are available at the Fairfax County Regional Library in the City of Fairfax (this location does not have media).
Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to providing age-appropriate instruction in the very important topics included in Family Life Education. For information about scheduling of FLE instruction, please contact your child’s teacher or school. For more information or questions regarding the FLE program, please contact Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or email Carrie Reynolds at cfreynolds@fcps.edu
iReady Universal Screener Assessment
Universal screening gives teachers information about strengths and needs in students’ basic reading and mathematics skills. Gaps in basic skills are the root of many later learning difficulties. Early detection and intervention in these gaps can help students reach their potential. In FCPS, we use i-Ready as our Universal Screener. All students will participate in this screener. More information and tips can be found here: https://www.fcps.edu/us
As a reminder, Cub Run will be administering the Universal Screener on the following dates:
- Grades 1-6 Reading = 9/30 & 10/1
- Grades 1-6 Math = 10/7 & 10/8
- Kindergarten Reading = 10/14 & 10/15
- All students will test during their regularly scheduled, corresponding instructional blocks.
In addition to the site linked above, families are encouraged to familiarize themselves with what to expect by utilizing the following resources:
