Shrevewood Staff Spotlight

Sarah

Hello everyone, my name is Ms. Jones and I am so excited to be teaching here at Shrevewood this year! I have been teaching 5th grade for 4 years in North Carolina, and I absolutely adore teaching young scholars and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I also love reading, traveling, the beach, and riding my horse Marcelo! I cannot wait to be a part of the amazing Shrevewood community!

I have nine years of teaching experience, teaching 2nd grade in Boston, 5th grade in Chicago, and 1st grade in FCPS.  I have been at home with my two kids Addie (3rd grade) and Pax (1st grade) for the last nine years.  I have loved being a parent at Shrevewood and I am overjoyed to be a teacher there now too!  In my free time I love to do craft projects, especially quilting!

Student Transportation Information

In preparation for the first day of school on Monday, parents are asked to review their student’s bus route assignments using their SIS ParentVue account. All staff and students riding a bus will be required to wear a mask. For more information about bus transportation, including how to access the Bus Delay Notification System, visit the Transportation page. Remember to arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early in the morning.

All students will be assigned a number when dropped off at Kiss and Ride or the Walkers pick up and drop off location which will be their assigned number for the school year. Students will also have a tag placed on their backpack with their assigned number to be used during pick up. Please make sure to drop off and pick up in the designated areas shown on the map below.

Beginning of the Year Forms

Complete Emergency Care Card now Electronically in weCare

In ParentVUE, on August 19th, you can access the weCare module to update emergency care information and health information.  Each school year parents need to verify the information in weCare for each student.  We are required to have this completed at the start of each school year to meet regulations. Forms are due by August 23, 2021.

There are other forms linked below that parents may print and drop off in the main office or send with your child. Questions related to any forms may be directed to our Registrar, Maria Giuliani (mggiuliani@fcps.edu).


Digital Tools Parental Consent

parental consent

At Shrevewood Elementary, our teachers use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families.

Some of the digital resources your child may use this year will require your consent before they can be used. You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here.  

Included on this page is also a 🔗 link to a form 🔗 where the enrolling parent or guardian will need to indicate whether or not their student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. We encourage you to complete the parental consent for digital resources form as soon as possible, as your child will not be able to use the digital resources until we have received your permission.

Please reach out to our School Based Technology Specialist, Kim Paska Negro (kpaska@fcps.edu) if you have any questions.  THANK YOU!
