Message to the Floris Community

Floris Community,

We share in your grief, fear, and frustration about the tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday. These events impact us all in personal ways. One thing we all have in common is our condemnation of these senseless acts of violence. 

Another thing we have in common is our commitment to keeping our schools, and the students and employees within them, safe. FCPS and Floris work to make critical safety upgrades to our buildings, plan and practice day-to-day safety and security measures, and respond swiftly to any concern or possible event. 

We also know that our students need care, support, and understanding as they learn about acts of gun violence. We have that support in place and encourage everyone to use them. FCPS has resources on the webpage at Student Safety and Wellness. If you or your child need additional support, please reach out to our school counselors, James Duffield or Sarah de Kramer at 703-561-2900.

We stand together, as a school community and in solidarity with the Robb Elementary School community. 

Holly Walker, Principal

Jo Gordon, Acting Assistant Principal
