 Building roller coasters to learn about acceleration, momentum, and speed
A message from Principal, Amy Miller
Dear Kilmer Families,
Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in the PTA meeting this week. We are so appreciative of the PTA’s support. The October PTA meeting will be in the evening on Monday, October 18, at 7:00 pm. By alternating meetings in the morning and evening, we hope that opens up opportunities for people to attend throughout the year.
Kilmer’s Back-to-School Night will be held virtually on Tuesday, September 21 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. To join the Virtual Back-to-School Night, parents/guardians will login to their parent Schoology account and access the Back-to-School Night link at the top of each course. When you join each class period, you will be put into a waiting room in Zoom. The teachers will let attendees into the session at the start of the class period. It will be difficult for teachers to let attendees in once they’ve begun their presentation, so please join the course 3-4 minutes prior to the start time to ensure you do not miss any part of the presentation.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Amy Miller

Sign-Up for Clubs
Most activities are drop in (no-commitment) and your child’s participation may vary, depending upon activity capacities and sponsorship. Students will have the weekend to pre-register for the upcoming week’s offerings.
Students need a completed Afterschool Registration Form AND Afterschool Attendance Intention Form 2-4 days BEFORE the club meets. This supports our planning for activities, snacks, and equitable opportunities for participation.

Late Bus Transportation is provided on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday following Afterschool dismissal at 4:45pm. Students may be picked up by caregivers/designees any time before 4:45pm and may be asked to sign out if leaving early. All students are expected to be picked on time or access transportation provided.

Student Rights and Responsibilities Parent Signature
We are extremely happy to have your child in our school with us this year!
FCPS’ updated Student Rights & Responsibility booklet is now available online and in the ParentVue section of the Student Information System (SIS). The SR&R booklet explains expectations for student behavior, and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment.
Each year, we ask parents to review, sign, and return the SR&R to their child’s school. In ParentVue, you may now download and digitally sign the SR&R. Every parent/guardian with a ParentVUE account will see the SR&R upon login to ParentVUE until the SR&R acknowledgement has been completed.
Once you log on, you will see the following message:
 Your name in the digital signature box must match the parent/guardian’s first and last name in SIS exactly before the signature will be accepted.
Please take a moment to log into ParentVue in your child’s SIS account to access the SR&R. Signatures are due by October 29, 2021.
Please contact us if you are having difficulty accessing the booklet.
