FCPS is seeking community feedback on the draft calendar options for the 2023-24 school year. The four proposed drafts of the 2023-24 school year calendar vary by start date, length of winter break, and end date among other items.
Please share your thoughts on the proposed calendars by filling out this form by Tuesday, January 31 at 1 p.m.
The School Board is scheduled to approve a final 2023-24 calendar on February 9, 2023.
Math Night (Grades 1 & 2) is Tuesday, January 31, at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria.
Math Night will give our students the opportunity to engage in math activities, using fun learning experiences and games. These experiences inspire students’ interest in math, help them understand math concepts, promote STEM literacy, and empower families to support their children’s success in math.
All registered attendees that complete all the activities that evening will receive a take-home prize!
 Wednesday was Dress Like a Famous Person Day at Clermont, so naturally our ESOL teacher, Mrs. Velishka, dressed as the most famous person she knows: Principal Salata! We love the attention to detail!
 FCPS is introducing an innovative way to address the diverse needs of the community. A new text-to-speech feature, available on the FCPS website and each school website, will read the words aloud from webpages.
The feature will help those with accessibility needs, such as visual impairments, dyslexia, or other difficulty reading large amounts of online text. The text-to-speech feature is available for English, Spanish, and Korean. Learn more and try out the new feature.
Would you like to recognize a teacher or staff member whose impact on a student made you grateful?
Nominate them for the January Soaring EAGLE Award! Any Clermont teacher or staff member who has made the day better and brighter for a student or group of students is eligible.
The Clermont PTA Board will evaluate all the submissions and present the winner with the award in February.
