Willow Springs Elementary School News and Information

We hope everyone had a wonderful week. As we navigate these challenging times, we want to remind everyone of the importance of school safety. We have strict protocols to keep our students and staff safe, and we all must do our part to ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. 

One of the most important things you can do to help keep our school safe is to report anything you see or hear that may be concerning. If you see or hear something that doesn't seem right, please let us know immediately. We take all reports seriously and investigate any concerns as quickly as possible. 

Here at Willow Springs, we take pride in the diversity within our Willow community, and we find it necessary to honor and recognize the unique backgrounds that our families bring. Daily instruction in our classroom embeds the importance of cultural appreciation and diversity. We celebrate our student news crew for their efforts in creating this morning's student-led news show that highlighted the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the ongoing fight for civil rights and equality. Their hard work and dedication in educating their peers and staff about the importance of diversity and inclusion inspire us all. This morning's show was a great example of how we can unite as a community to educate and empower one another. Let us continue to celebrate and embrace the diversity within our community and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all. Additionally, we want to remind everyone that our school has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination. We are a diverse community, and we must respect and value the differences that make us unique. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action as indicated in the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities. 

As a reminder, schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 16, for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. This federal holiday honors the life and legacy of one of America's most influential civil rights leaders. Let us take this day to remember the critical work of Dr. King and continue to strive for equality and justice for all. Use this link to learn more about Martin Luther King Jr. 

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Together, we can keep our school safe and inclusive for all. We hope everyone has a beautiful weekend, and we look forward to seeing our children back in our building on Tuesday, January 17.
