We want to thank you for making our staff feel so appreciated last week--like you always do! A huge special thank you to our PTA for providing such thoughtful gifts of appreciation!
As we are currently in the midst of SOLs, Mr. Montaquila and I also want to thank our families, in grades 3-6, who are supporting their children with going to bed early, eating a good breakfast, and encouraging their child to do their very best, whether in-person or online. These assessments test skill and content knowledge as much as they do stamina! While we take these tests seriously, we also know that they are just one metric used to measure student progress. Thank you teachers and students for being so prepared!
Sincerely,
Mr. Carmichael, Principal
Mr. Montaquila, Assistant Principal

Kindergarten Orientation
Please click on this link where you will be directed to our Kindergarten website location. We have created this page to review and look back on at your leisure. We know that all families are very busy and there is no perfect time for all families to view at the same time. Here you will meet our current Kindergarten team as well as some of the specialists in the building. There are also videos of what the Kindergarten day looks like as well as an opportunity to ask general questions. We will use these questions and answer them, to the best of our ability, as an FAQ page for all families. We are so excited to welcome our newest Vikings in the August.

With more and more students returning to school, there will be a shift in curbside checkout. Only students who are remaining virtual will continue with curbside services. All other students will now be given their books in school. This also goes for returning books. All kindergarten students and first grade students who are returning for face to face instruction will now be receiving mystery bags every other week. A more detailed message will be sent to those families.
Grades 2 – 6 will be encouraged to place books on hold during their library time with Mrs. Torpey and she will deliver them to their classrooms once they are ready.
The schedule for curbside is as follows:
Grades 4 – 6:
May 17 – 12 pm – 1pm (This will be the last one for 4 -6)
All books would then need to be returned no later than May 28th.
Please contact our librarian Paulette Torpey if you have any questions. ptorpey@fcps.edu
