The start to the school year has found the Woodley Hills Beavers hard at work in the library learning library expectations, routines, organization and book care.  We ask that families have a conversation at home about how to keep library books in good condition.  Last year, many books were destroyed due to exposure to water.  Books are getting wet and therefore moldy by water bottles in backpacks.  Books must be discarded when this happens. Please help us keep the library books in good condition by checking to make sure students are not keeping their water bottles and books together.  A bill for the cost of the book will be sent home if a book is ruined from getting wet or food spilled on it.  Thank you for helping us keep the library books in circulation and in good condition.

SR&R Family Signature Reminder

We are extremely happy to have your child in our school with us this year!

FCPS’ updated Student Rights & Responsibility booklet is now available online and in the ParentVue section of the Student Information System (SIS). The SR&R booklet explains expectations for student behavior, and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. 

Each year, we ask parents to review, sign, and return the SR&R to their child’s school. In ParentVue, you may now download and digitally sign the SR&R. Every parent/guardian with a ParentVUE account will see the SR&R upon login to ParentVUE until the SR&R acknowledgement has been completed.
