It’s time to return library books!
Since the past two school years have been very unique, we have many books still checked out from last spring. To maintain our wonderful library collection, please return any you might still have at home. In-person students should return all books to the library or classroom book bins. Students who are fully-virtual can make returns to the book bin at the front entrance of the school building during school hours. All library books are due Friday, May 28th. If you need help remembering what your child has checked out please contact our librarian, Mrs. Erin Siwert (eqsiwert@fcps.edu).
School instruments must be returned!
If you have a school violin, viola, or cello you MUST turn it back in to the school.
Please turn it in as soon as possible to the front office.
Thank you-Mrs. Bonanno
Field Day
We are having a virtual Field Day this year. On Tuesday, June 8th, all students will be attending classes virtually. During their specials time, each student will have the chance to participate in 10 field day activities. They can do it individually, or with the entire family. Very little equipment is needed for each activity. Classroom teachers will be giving the students the links to the google slides so all they have to do is click on each of the 10 Field Day games! The rest of the week, specials will be back to their regular schedule.
