Notes from the Administration

Dear North Springfield Community,

It is offically the start of the second half of the school year and the progress and growth that our students are making is tremendous.  It is exciting to see that many of the gaps in instruction that happened as a result of Covid are starting to disappear and our students are right where they should be. 

A safety reminder for Kiss-n-Ride

Do Not Park - Stay in the line, students should absolutely not be crossing the parking lot during dismissal.  We have had a couple accidents and close calls because people are parking, this distrupts the entire process.

A reminder that Virginia Law requires that all children age 7 years and younger to be properly secured in a child safety seat or booster seat. There is no height or weight requirement and they should not be in the front seat of the car.

The PTA has some exciting events coming this month:

  • The Spelling Bee is Feb. 9th, there is still time to sign up.
  • The PTA monthly mtg is Feb. 13th at 7:00.
  • BINGO Night and Silent Auction is Feb. 24th 

Please continue to check Schoology to see flyers and stay on top of the upcoming events.  

 

Reminders:

Monday 2/20 is a holiday in observance of Presidents Day.

 

Thank you for all your support,  

Chad McRae and Kevin Sami, Administrative Team

FCPS CARES Program

FCPS Cares

 

 

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story, so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees, specifically at North Springfield ES.


Arrival and Dismissal

Stay in the kiss-n-ride lines when dropping off or picking up your student.  Do not drive around the line to park, by doing so it not only slows the process down but it increases the chances for having accidents.  We have had a number already this year.


Andrew Gause's Martial Arts

Transported After School Program - Our After School Program (AMP) is the perfect alternative to SACC/Daycare.  Your child will get a daily Taekwondo class, snack and quiet/homework time.  So a child should have gotten a good workout and their homework done when you pick up so you can enjoy the rest of your evening together.
