FCPS has extended the deadline to give 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.
If you haven't had a chance to share your thoughts about the draft school year calendar options, please participate today.
The form will close on Monday, February 6, at noon. The School Board is scheduled to vote on a calendar on Thursday, February 9.
 Some of our Clermont readers celebrated World Read Aloud Day in the library with Mrs. Cangro, our librarian. Ms. Shott’s second grade heard author Kate Albus read from her book “A Place to Hang the Moon” and Ms. Sarsour’s Kindergarten class heard author Melanie Ellsworth read from her book, “Clarinet and Trumpet.” Both classes had the opportunity to ask questions as well. Thank you to both authors for joining us virtually on World Read Aloud Day!
