Online Attendance Form
Do you have an early release, change in dismissal, late arrival or absence to report?
The preferred method for reporting any change in your student's school day is the Online Attendance Form located on the Crossfield website. Scroll down to the blue ATTENDANCE box shown here and follow the prompts. If you have a change in dismissal, select "early release" and provide an explanation in the "reason for absence". This is the preferred method because this information is emailed to all of the front office employees.

Digital Citizenship Week - "DigCit Week"
Learning never stops, and neither do our digital lives. This #FCPSDigCit Week we explored daily activities from Common Sense Education to help our students:
- Reflect on how they find media balance.
- Make responsible decisions.
- Treat themselves + others with kindness.
Thank you for discussing these important topics at home with your kids.
Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid
This week or next week you should receive a Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid. All students are required to return the form to their child's teacher.
Returning this form is important because information from this survey results in an additional $3 million in grants each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the boxes in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by November 5. All results are confidential.
More information is available here.
Are you needing assistance with your child's picture taken on picture day?
If you are experiencing difficulties with your child's picture day order, please contact Lifetouch Customer Service at 1-800-736-4753. Thank you.
