Dear Woodburn Families,
Spring has arrived and we are enjoying sunny days on the playground. We hope that you and your family are enjoying the warmer weather.
We are asking for your support as we head into next week. We have noticed an increase in behavior referrals and know that students are anxious for spring break. It is important that we remain focused on R.O.A.R and hope you might take a moment to review expectations for behavior at school with your child. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.
Together We Grow,
Katy and Bridget

Health & Safety Reminders
Vaccination Status
You may wish to voluntarily share your child’s COVID-19 vaccination information. However, we do not require your child’s vaccination information and no school employee will ask for your child’s vaccination status.
If you would like to provide us with your child’s vaccination status, please bring your child’s COVID-19 vaccination card or a photocopy of the card to Ms. Garcia, our student registrar in the main office.
Monitoring Your Child's Health
Please continue to you use the FCPS health screening questionnaire to monitor your child's health each day. This will support our efforts to keep all students and staff as safe as possible. If your child has Covid-like symptoms at school, you will be asked to pick them up immediately.
Please use the health screening questionnaire to screen your child for Covid-19 symptoms before sending them to school each day.
Where to Find a Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine
FCPS is encouraging all parents whose children are eligible to get vaccinated. We know that vaccination is the way out of this pandemic, and we are asking you to help us continue to make our schools as safe as they possibly can be.
The Fairfax County Health Department’s webpage has resources for finding and scheduling a vaccine appointment. Up-to-date information about vaccination opportunities is available on the FCPS website.
