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 our 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.
FCPS Cares
The FCPS Cares Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story so we can acknowledge our Kings Glen staff members.

The Boosterthon Fun Run is here!
The PTA's annual Boosterthon Fun Run is off to a great start! Register your child on www.myBooster.com today and share with your family and friends to help spread the word! Thank you to everyone who has registered, shared, and/or donated so far.
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. The Fun Run is this Friday, September 24 during school hours. 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.
- 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 with any questions.
