Principal's Message

Hello Shrevewood Families,

We hope everyone had another fantastic week. Thank you to all of the families that attended our PTA meeting on Tuesday. Remember that our Shrevewood Book Fair begins Monday. Our students are extremely excited about the Book Fair. Today they had an opportunity to preview the books and start a wish list to take home for the weekend to share with you all.

This morning FCPS sent out a message to all families offering the COVID Vaccines to elementary students. Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 16, the Fairfax Health District and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) will offer the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, at nine clinics located at schools across Fairfax County. Shrevewood is one of the nine clinics that will be offering the Vaccine.  No appointment is necessary at these school-located clinics, and all vaccinations are free. A parent, or other responsible adult, is required to attend with their child.

Shrevewood ES will be offering the Vaccine:

Wednesday December 15 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm in the Gym

Wednesday January 5 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm in the Gym

We hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

 

Sincerely,

Joshua DeSmyter, Principal

Katie Vandawalker, Assistant Principal
