Did You Know...

According to Harvard Health Publishing, Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep and appetite, mediate moods, and inhibit pain. Since about 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract, and your gastrointestinal tract is lined with a hundred million nerve cells, or neurons, it makes sense that the inner workings of your digestive system don’t just help you digest food, but also guide your emotions. Here is the full article “Nutritional psychiatry: Your brain on food.”


Vision and Hearing Screening for all 10th Graders 

Our mandatory Vision and Hearing screening will be held on October 17th & 18th during P.E. classes for all 10th graders. 

 

New students to FCPS and students that took P.E. over the summer or online have been emailed their date and time for testing in an email sent on October 14. If you have any questions contact Bronwen Fleming at 703-287-2710 or at bmfleming@fcps.edu


Dr. Michelle Reid at McLean Community Center 

On October 19th at 6:00 PM at the McLean Community Center at 1234 Ingleside Ave., McLean, VA, Dr. Reid will be answering the questions and concerns from STUDENTS.  We encourage all students from Kindergarten through 12th Grade to bring their questions or simply come to meet and listen to our new FCPS Superintendent.  The Superintendent oversees almost 200 schools and centers in a county serving approximately 180,000 students.  This event will be focused on questions and concerns from students attending elementary, middle, and high school students with the McLean, Langley, and Marshall Pyramids.
