Register Now for the 2022-2023 School Year!
Did you know that registering early helps prevent overcrowded classrooms?
REGISTER new students NOW! *
Virginia law requires that all children who will reach their 5th birthday on or before September 30, 2022, must be enrolled in kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year, unless the parent or guardian notifies the school in writing that they do not wish the child to attend school until the following year.
If you have a child who will attend kindergarten at Orange Hunt Elementary next year, and you have not already registered them, contact Lesley Hite laakofiohite@fcps.edu
Please spread the word to your neighbors with children who do not yet attend Orange Hunt. Have neighbors with rising kindergarteners complete the online intake form or call the office at 703-913-6800.
* If your student currently attends Orange Hunt, you do not need to re-register for the next school year.
ACTION NEEDED- Must Submit for this school year! No free/reduced lunches without application this school year! Please see below!
Plan to Submit Free and Reduced-Price Meal Applications This Summer
Families must submit an application and be approved to be eligible for free and reduced-price meals for the 2022-23 school year.
Interested families are encouraged to submit the Free and Reduced-Price Meal application ten days prior to the first day of the 2022-23 school year. The online application will be available later this summer and accessible via the FCPS homepage.
Students approved for Free and Reduced-Price Meals may qualify for additional benefits such as waived or reduced fees for instruments, uniforms, field trips, FCPS class fees, and Parktakes classes. Schools also benefit from funding opportunities based on Free and Reduced Price Meal application numbers.
Watch your email and our website for more information. Learn more about the Free and Reduced-Price Meal program online. If you have questions or need assistance with the Free and Reduced-Price Meals application, please contact [insert your school’s contact person and their information].
Immunizations
As we begin to look ahead to the 2022-23 school year, we encourage everyone to Be Wise, Immunize! Immunizations are required for public school entry and help keep children protected from many diseases. Many children missed their well check-ups and their recommended childhood immunizations during recent years of disruptions from COVID-19. It is critical to catch up now to keep children healthy and protect them from serious diseases.
We encourage you to check with your healthcare provider to make sure your child is up to date on required immunizations for the 2022-23 school year as soon as possible. If your child needs a vaccine to complete their records, you can make an appointment with your healthcare provider or visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a schedule of child immunization clinics.
Remember to request documentation of your child’s immunizations and bring that to Orange Hunt ES as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact laakofiohite@fcps.edu here at Orange Hunt ES.
Summer Reading Fun!
Join us for a summer of reading discovery with the Orange Hunt Summer Reading Explorers program! Explore nature, travel, sports and more through books and activities of your choice. Look in your child’s report card envelope for a copy of the flyer to complete and turn in to their teacher in the fall.
We hope you will spend the summer reading with us!
