Notes from the Administration

Dear North Springfield Community,

Math-A-Thon is here! Ask your students about math-a-thon.  Encourage them to do ST Math puzzles and ask their grandparents and trusted neighbors to donate to their school.   Math-A-Thon fundraises money to cover all our fieldtrips and assemblies during the year.  We hope that you have noticed that while our students have been going on some fun fieldtrips or grade levels are bringing in guest speakers that we have not asked parents for any money to support these events.  They have been and we hope will continue to have them paid for by the money raised during our Math-A-Thon week. So log onto the PTA website and donate and help your student contribute to helping their school.

Upcoming Events:

  • 3/13 Math-A-Thon Week
  • 3/14 PTA Meeting 7 - 8
  • 3/17 4th and 5th Grade Dance 6 - 8

Thank you for all your support,  

Chad McRae and Kevin Sami, Administrative Team

Parent Information on Lexia

Hello NSES Families!

Here is a brief video discussing Lexia Core 5, this year’s new supplemental reading program. You may have heard your children share excitement that they’ve met their weekly minutes goal or have earned a certificate for working hard and completing a particular skill level! Lexia uses an adaptive blended learning model to adjust instruction based on each child’s individual Literacy skills and needs. Students have been using Lexia during the Language Arts block or during Chopper time this year. For more resources to use at home, please see these Lexia Family Resources. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our Reading Specialist, Kelly Vega, if you have additional questions.  


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

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.


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.
