Greetings families!
We are so excited to see you all at Back to School Night on Tuesday, October 13 at 6:30 PM. Links to grade level sessions, enrichment team sessions, mental health team sessions and the Advanced Academics session have been sent to parents email inboxes and texted to phones. If you are unable to join, teachers will record grade level sessions and post on grade level Google sites. We thank you for your continued support of students' online learning success!
Monday, October 12 is a student holiday. Your child does not need to log on for Monday sessions. We look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, October 13 at 9:20 for virtual morning meetings!

Principal
We are excited to announce that we will begin distributing FREE Fairfax Meal Kits containing seven days of breakfast and lunches at Graham Road Elementary School on Wednesday, October 14. Daily meals will continue to be served at the Graham Road Community Center but we are happy to announce this additional, new offering for access to healthy breakfast and lunch!
The kits will be available for pick up from 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. or until they run out. Meal kits will be available to ALL FCPS students and children 18 years of age and under at no cost. Each meal kit will contain breakfast and lunch for one person for a week. Parents and caregivers may pick up one meal kit for each child. Adults may purchase meal kits for $28. Instructions on how to store the food and prepare it will be provided.
Don’t miss out! Stop by and pick up your no-cost Fairfax Meal Kit on Wednesday, October 14 from 8:00 a.m.- 12:30 p.m at Door 1 (Kiss and Ride lane) at Graham Road Elementary, 2831 Graham Rd, Falls Church, VA 22042.
Initially, meal kits will be distributed every Wednesday.
Our counselor, social worker and school psychologist will be hosting lunch bunches with groups of students between 11:45 - 12:30 each day. They will connect with students directly to invite them to join. It will be a fun time to connect, talk and socialize online with adults and peers. If you DO NOT want your child to participate in these lunch bunches, please email Ms. Kessler, adkessler@fcps.edu.
Consider driving to any FCPS school parking lot, powering computer on and allowing the laptop to connect to the FCPS network. This will allow any necessary updates to install on your computer while connected to the network. This may resolve any speed or quality issues students are experiencing on their FCPS device. You don’t have to come into the building or schedule an appointment. Just be close enough to the building so that the laptop can connect to the network.
Tuesday, October 13 at 7:00 and 7:30
