Dear Clermont Families,
Dr. Brabrand and the FCPS Leadership Team have drafted new Return to School dates. On February 2, 2021, Superintendent Brabrand will share these dates, along with his Return to School Plan, during a School Board Work Session. The Return to School dates that apply to Clermont ES are as follows:
Kindergarten – February 23
Grades 1 & 2 – March 9
Grades 3, 4, 5, & 6 – March 16
More information about these transitions back into the building for those that chose the hybrid return to the building model will be forthcoming after the February 2 school board meeting.
This week has been quite eventful, and I want to pause for a moment to recognize Monday's messages of hope, service, and unity in honor of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as Wednesday’s messages of patriotism and unity during the Inaugurations of President Biden and Vice President Harris. Both are important reminders that the work we do as educators must continue, regardless of the method of delivery. We will continue to keep equity and kindness at the heart of what we do.
Enjoy the three-day weekend! Take care of yourself and each other.
Ms. Salata, Principal
As a reminder, Monday, January 25, is a teacher work day and a student holiday.

How do you rise above troubles and keep moving forward in tough times? When you make mistakes or get scared, what helps you clear the clouds above your head? When people around you are feeling down, how do you use your inner strength to lift them up?

Picture Day is Wednesday, February 3! If you have participated in school pictures before, the process will be a little different this year. Pictures will be taken by family this year instead of by class. If you would like to have your Clermont students photographed, please click here to sign-up for a time slot your family. If there are no available sign-ups at the link, please email lmgibson@fcps.edu for scheduling. Parents may order photos at www.mylifetouch.com using picture day ID: EVT6BG86D (This code is good up until 24 hours after picture day.)
Pictures will be taken in the Clermont cafeteria from 9:00am – 3:00pm, at your designated time. You will enter through door #2, which is at the cafeteria near our Kiss and Ride loop. We have safety protocols in place that must be followed before you can enter the building. Everyone present will need to wear a face covering at all times. At the exact time when the student is being photographed, the photographer will have the child take their mask off and hold it down where it will not be seen in the photo. We will send a link the night before for you to answer some health questions online. If you do not receive the email, or forget to answer the questionnaire before coming, we will have a QR code at the door that you can scan with a mobile device and complete onsite.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Lisa Gibson at lmgibson@fcps.edu or Coral Mullin at cjmullin@fcps.edu or by phone at 703-921-2400.
