Waples Mill Updates 4/30/2021

Good Afternoon Waples Mill Families,

Here are this week's updates:


May 3-7 is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week!

May 3-7 is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. We are so thankful for all the hard work our staff members do every day to make our school a great place to learn and work! 


All Students to Be Virtual on June 8 Due to Democratic Primary Election

Tuesday, June 8, is the Democratic Primary Election. Because the Fairfax County Electoral Board and City of Fairfax Electoral Board will be using 165 school facilities as polling locations, June 8 will be a virtual synchronous  learning day (no in-person classes) for all students.


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.  If you have a child eligible for kindergarten to begin this August, please view the information at the following link to begin the registration process:

https://waplesmilles.fcps.edu/student-services/student-registration

If you have further questions, please contact our registrar, Carla Collins, chcollins@fcps.edu, 703-390-7700.


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.


Reminder about Picking Students Up Early from School

If you need to pick your child up from school early, we ask that you do so prior to 3:45 p.m.  This will ensure that our parking lot is clear for buses and that our office staff can support our regularly scheduled dismissal process.  Thank you for your cooperation!
