Screen for Illness Every Day, Stay Home When Sick
As a reminder, any student who is ill or has COVID-like symptoms should remain at home. The daily health screening questionnaire and all translated versions can be found on the FCPS Health and Safety Guidance webpage.
*Daily completion of the health screening is done on an honor basis and does not need to be sent to the school.

Enjoy an individually-wrapped treat and meet with some of our local after school and community vendors while the kids play on the playground. Please note masks are required for this event. Boosterthon Fun Run We are excited to kick off the PTA's annual Boosterthon Fun Run on Wednesday, September 15 with an amazing pep rally! In the days that follow, students will view and learn character lessons from the crew of this year's theme, Sport City Worldwide, during their daily news shows. We will have nightly challenges and a special weekend challenge Our goal is to raise $32,000 for water bottle filling stations, classroom and technology enhancements, as well as for other school and PTA projects. In addition to the monetary goal, we have a 65% student registration goal. Each school will have an Ultimate Reward if 65% of the student population registers on www.myBooster.com (register today!). More information on each school's Ultimate Reward is coming soon. Everything leads up to the Fun Run on Friday, September 24 during school hours. Details for the day are still being finalized to meet the ever-changing safety precautions. A couple of safety precautions that Boosterthon and the PTA are taking for this year's Fun Run:
- Each student will automatically be marked at 34 laps to avoid marking off laps on the custom shirts.
- Students will need to bring their own water bottles as the normal water stations will not be set up.
- To keep the crowds low, parents will not be able to attend the Fun Run in person this year.
Please contact Sarah Maccubbin-Tremper, VP of Fundraising at kpkgptavpfundraising@gmail.com with any questions.
