FLES

The learning continues. Ms. Ko leads an In person and online Chinese lesson for second graders in Ms. Shroff's homeroom.


We LOVE our Teacher and Staff!

May 3 - 7, is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! We can all agree that Hollin Meadows teachers and staff are the best! This year especially, their values and knowledge were so visible to our entire community. Teachers and staff have overcome so much to deliver the best educational experience possible to students this year, both online and in-person. Show some love with a special note for your Hollin Meadows staff & teachers. 


May 5 - Walk/Bike to School Day

Join us for National Walk/Bike to School Day on Wednesday, May 5th! If you live within walking distance of the school, walk or jump on your bike and ride to school. Why walk or bike? Here are just a few reasons:

  • Physical Activity
  • Concern for the environment
  • Reducing traffic congestion, speed, and pollution near schools, 
  • Sharing time with family and friends.

Class Placements: 2021-2022

At the conclusion of the school year, teachers from each grade level will gather with administrators to create preliminary class groups for next year. We group students to ensure the best learning environment for all and take into account factors such as gender, learning needs, peer relationships and parent input. If there is information about how you feel your child learns best, please share it with us by Friday, May 21. Requests should be shared in writing with Mr. Gates at jmgates@fcps.edu or hand delivered to the office. Requests for a specific teacher will not be honored as staffing changes may occur. Please be assured that with or without parent input, each child's needs will be carefully considered to ensure the selection of a classroom in which your child will learn best.
