Good Afternoon Waples Mill Families,
Here are this week's updates:
Wednesday, April 21st is Purple Up Day!
April is designated as Month of the Military Child. Across the country, military-connected children are celebrated for their resiliency and their service and sacrifice in the U.S. and overseas. To honor our military-connected students, we would like to designate April 21st as our Purple Up Day! If possible, we’d love to invite students and staff to wear purple. Wearing purple is a visible way for everyone to show support and thank military youth for their strength and sacrifices.
Why Purple? Purple indicates that all branches of the military are supported. All the service colors are represented including: Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue. These colors combine for the mutual benefit of all into the color purple.
For more information about how to support military children, please see: https://www.militarychild.org/ . If you have any questions pertaining to Purple Up Day, please contact our school counselor Amelia Abasolo at aaabasolo@fcps.edu or 703-390-7746.
Kindergarten Registration Information for the 2021-2022 School Year:
Virginia State law requires that children who will be five years old on or before September 30, 2021 are eligible to be enrolled in kindergarten. Students whose fifth birthday falls after September 30, 2021 are not eligible to enroll.

Student Intentions for the Next School Year (2021-2022):
If your child/children (Kindergarten through Grade 6) will be attending another school in Fairfax County or outside of Fairfax County Public Schools (public or private) for the next school year (2021-2022), please fill out the Student Intentions form, which can be accessed at the following link:
https://waplesmilles.fcps.edu/announcements/students-intentions-2021-2022-school-year
Please email the completed form to Carla Collins, Registrar, chcollins@fcps.edu. Parents of students who are transferring to another school need to start the registration process with the new school as soon as possible. A transcript will be sent to the new school upon receipt of a records request to Carla Collins.
Please note: If your child will be joining us at Waples Mill again next year, there is no need to fill out the form. Your child’s record will automatically roll back into our Student Information System and no new registration paperwork is required for the new school year.
