Dearest Sleepy Hollow Family,
I hope this newsletter finds you in the best of health and in great spirits. It is our hope that you all enjoyed a peaceful, safe, and joyous Thanksgiving Holiday with family and friends. As one season ends another begins. Can you believe we have exactly 14 days before we begin our winter break? Before that happens though, we have a great deal of learning and fun-filled events planned over the next three weeks. We look forward to seeing you in school and around campus for our December events! Wishing you a week filled with Amazing Grace, LOVE, and light!
~Love is like the wind; you can’t see it, but you can feel it.~ Nicholas Sparks
~Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.~ Oliver Wendell
All the best,
Mattie Fallen, Principal

What an amazing school community! We’re still feeling the love from the Barnes & Noble book fair!

Family Life Education Instructional Program Information
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms will be included in your child’s back-to-school/orientation packets and are available online for. Please fill in the opt-out form and return it to your child’s school prior to Family Life Education instruction.
Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Elementary (K-6) ,.

Parents/guardians login to Schoology using the same username and password as their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account. Grade level-specific lessons are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media). Grade level-specific lessons and media that is not streamed online are available for review at your child’s school library. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media online.
