Joseph “Will” Berenato, Sixth Grade Teacher

I was born and raised in Montgomery County, Maryland and went to college at Towson University, where I received a degree in Elementary Education. I come from an extremely close and loud family that I love very much. I love baseball, music, and all things related to cooking. I am excited to begin my first-year teaching at Little Run Elementary School and am looking forward to a great school year.

Nidi Miller, FLES Teacher

I am super excited to be part of the Little Run Team! My husband and I have lived in Virginia for over twenty years with our three children graduating from Fairfax County Public Schools. I am a native speaker of Spanish and teaching is my passion! I have been teaching for over ten years as a career switcher from the federal government.  I am currently in George Mason University’s Master’s Program for Gifted Education and earned a separate Masters of Education (Spanish) and two Bachelor degrees, one in World Language and another in Art and Visual Technology.

BBCU & Google Classrooms are Out – Schoology is IN!

FCPS will begin using Schoology as an online platform for many student assignments.  It has many similar features to Google Classroom, and students should be able to navigate it easily to find and submit assignments after their teachers show them how to use it in school. We will also share a parent tutorial once we are closer to the start of the school year.

We anticipate continuing to use FCPS laptops in school for many assignments, especially in the upper grades.  However, being back to in-person school allows for the many important paper-and-pencil activities that support learning as well.

When it’s necessary to hold virtual meetings with parents or students, we will not use BBCU.  FCPS now uses Zoom and, in some cases, Google Meet.
