Appointments To Pickup Materials

 

Thank you to all of the families that were able to pickup their child's materials for specials as well as their instruments!  Families who were unable to pickup their materials for specials and instruments on September 28th or October 5th will need to call the school at (703) 503-2700 to make an appointment to pick them up. Additionally, the instrument rental contract form will be required prior to receiving an instrument. 

 

Art Supplies

Please note that the art kit supplies that were distributed are meant to be used for art activities during art classes with your child's art teacher.  The art workbook can be used anytime your child would like to participate in asynchronous learning.  The modeling clay is air-dry clay and should be kept inside the package until instructions are given. Please help your child organize and store these supplies. All supplies are non-toxic but should be kept out of reach of younger siblings. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact your child's art teacher:

Johab Silva:  jnsilva@fcps.edu

Susan Scollon: sescollon@fcps.edu
