Welcome to Kindergarten

Kindergarten Orientation: April 13, 2023

Forestdale's Kindergarten Orientation will be held this Thursday, April 13, 2023 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Come and meet the staff, learn more about kindergarten in FCPS and at Forestdale Elementary, and enjoy meeting families of other rising kindergarten students.  Information was sent to identified families prior to spring break.  Please share this with anyone who might have a rising kindergartener. 

Time to Register your Rising Kindergartener

Do you or a neighbor have a child will be 5 years of age by September 30, 2023, and do you plan on sending them to kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year?  If your child is ready for kindergarten, call the school so we may add you to our list of rising kindergarten students.

Please fill out the form on our website here so you are put on our list of incoming kindergarten families for 2023-2024.  Please share this information with any neighbors who have a child that meets the above criteria.

All FCPS kindergarten registration information and forms are available here. Please contact our school registrar, Ms. Barrios, at bibarrios@fcps.edu or 703-313-4300 with any questions.
