Message from Mrs. Castillo

Orientation

I hope everyone’s spring break is off to a great start!  The past week was filled with many awesome events at Lemon Road.  Thank you to our families that came out to support last Saturday’s gardening event - it was a highly successful kickoff to spring.  Our 4th graders were busy with a writing celebration Wednesday and PBL launch Thursday.  Kindergarten Orientation was extremely well attended and exciting as we welcomed about 50 of our future kindergarteners and families to our amazing school.  If you missed it or would like to watch the video version, check it out on our webpage.  Ms. Argodale also posted our March 2022 Principals’ Coffee presentation here - during the last coffee, we talked about helping children be safe online, SOL testing information, how class lists are created, and upcoming events by the Lemon Road PTA.  

Spring Break is finally here! We hope you enjoy a well deserved break and come back refreshed and energized to finish out the school year.  The Lemon Road office will be available by appointment only.  Please email Mrs. Nealson (manealson@fcps.edu) or Mrs. Castillo (aocastillo@fcps.edu) if you need to schedule an appointment.
