FLE Lessons

In accordance with the Code of Virginia, all FLE (Family Life Education) lessons (grades K-12 and modified) must be available for parent/guardian review.  As such, there is a folder in the Cedar Parent Schoology course with the FLE lessons posted for you to review. 

 

Consumer Science Program Fees due

If your student is enrolled in Foods and Fitness, Gourmet Foods and/or international Foods, there is a class fee for the year.  The fee is $90.00; send a check in made out to Cedar Lane School.

 

Level Up Information

Cedar Lane uses a level system to reward students for appropriate and expected behaviors.  It is the basis of our PBIS system.  Students earn LiveSchool “bucks” during each class period for being on time, appropriate electronic use (FCPS owned and personal owed) and owning their learning.  Students can use the LiveSchool bucks to purchase items in the Cedar Store as well as use them for other events being held in the building.  Parents can see their student’s “LiveSchool” bank account by contacting your student’s case manager.  Our first level up day is September 28, the next date is October 19.  To see the full schedule of level up days, check the calendar link at the beginning of the Cedar Update.
