Calling all Preschoolers

Do you have or know someone who has a preschool age child at home? If so take a minute to complete this survey from Fairfax County to help us prepare for the upcoming school year.  Survey of Preschool Children 

Tech Tips

This is a quick reminder that students should "restart" school issued laptops once a week.  This is not just "shutting down" after school ends and starting the next morning but rather selecting restart and having the laptop reboot.  This allows the laptop to perform updates.  Many technical issues can be resolved through a "restart" rather than a "shut down".

Message from the Art Room:

All students should be prepared to have their own personal drawing supplies ready to use during weekly Art classes.  In-person students that have art class in the building should bring supplies and artworks to and from school and home.  A sketchbook or folder to organize and keep artworks is recommended.

Please make sure your student has the following drawing supplies for online and in-person Art classes.

ALL STUDENTS:  Paper, Sketchbook/Notebook

KINDERGARTEN – Grade 2:  Crayons

GRADES: 3 & 4:   Crayons or Colored Pencils

GRADES 5 & 6:  Colored Pencils or Markers
