Arrival and Dismissal
Please follow these procedures for arrival and dismissal for everyone’s safety:
*Do not park on Bardu Avenue to drop off or pick up students. Use Kiss & Ride.
*Do not make a left turn into the Kiss & Ride line. Drive to the end to join. One way to do this is to go to the light and Greeley and come to Bardu from that direction.
*Do not make U-turns on Bardu Avenue or block neighbors' driveways.
*Have your student walk to school or ride the bus

Every month, a nominated employee from each region and Central Offices will be recognized as an FCPS CARES of the Month recipient. We’ll share their names in Employee News, and they will also have access to a new FCPS CARES banner for their profile photo in Outlook. Watch this video to learn more about FCPS CARES. We also encourage you to acknowledge a staff member who has gone above and beyond! We love our Keene Mill staff members, let's tell them how we feel!
