 Woodchucks returned to school for Meet & Greet last night. Students met their new teachers and explored classrooms. Many also checked in with previous teachers, like Kindergarten teacher Ms. Galicia.
 School Starts on Monday
We can't wait to see our students for the new school year starting on Monday, August 22.
A few reminders:
- The doors open at 8:15 a.m. and students will have plenty of staff available to help direct them to their classrooms.
- Please do your best to turn in all the required forms and permission slips as this helps us tremendously from both a safety preparedness and instructional perspective.
- If you prefer to complete forms online, you can fill out many of them on our school website's forms page
- Please be patient with arrival and dismissal for the first couple weeks, it is a process that will speed up - we promise
- If you do not have a copy of the school supplies list, you can find them on each grade level's webpage
- Remind your child about his or her teacher's name, grade level, and other details that will help make the first day easier.
- Kiss and Ride is on the East side of the school. if you are dropping off or picking up a child, do not use the front entrance of the school.
- Set up a good, consistent bedtime routine for students to help them wind down and get plenty of rest before school.
Have a great weekend and we can't wait to see our Woodchucks on Monday!

Be on the Lookout for Weyanoke’s Request for Parental Permission to Use Digital Resources
Fairfax County Public Schools provides access to digital resources to maximize learning opportunities and protect student privacy. Each FCPS digital resource has had an instructional and technical review. Information about the educational technology tools approved for use within FCPS can be found in the online Digital Ecosystem Library.
Some FCPS-approved resources require parental consent. Parents will receive more information from their child’s school before the first day of school. This will include the list of educational technology tools used and explain the process for providing permission. It is critical that parents respond to the request for parental permission so teachers can plan to use the best technology tools with students this school year.
Parents can find more information about FCPS-approved digital resources on the Digital Resources in FCPS webpage.
Update Emergency Care Contacts in SIS
Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring that the climate in all FCPS facilities is safe and secure. In support of this goal, FCPS provides weCare@school (weCare), an emergency care information system, available to FCPS parents and guardians who have registered for their own Parent account.
weCare helps manage emergency medical information by enabling parents to go online to enter and update their children’s medical data at their convenience. Contact information provided automatically enrolls parents to receive eNotify communications from the district and their child’s school. eNotify is the communications tool for FCPS emergency, transportation, attendance, weather closings and delays, and essential outreach messages. Messages are sent via email and text messages. Occasional phone messages are sent as well
Get more information about updating your emergency care information.
