ESSER Online Feedback Form

FCPS received Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) Funding in the fall of 2021. The funds are being used to support the safe operation of schools and address the impacts of COVID-19 on students.

ESSER III focus areas include:

  • Ensuring continuity of learning services and addressing students’ academic needs.
  • Maintaining the health and safety of students, educators, and other staff.

  • Addressing student wellness including their social, emotional, mental health, and other needs.

FCPS would like your feedback on how well the school division is responding to the areas above. Please complete this Online Feedback Form, which will be open through Friday, May 5. Your input will inform the School Board and FCPS staff on the community’s view of our work.

Staff Appreciation Week

 

This year, Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week will run from May 8th-12th. The PTA plans to spoil our teachers daily! Please help us celebrate our wonderful teachers by having your student(s) bring in a flower on Monday (from your yard or garden), a small sweet treat on Tuesday (individually wrapped candy or small packaged baked good), and a handmade card on Thursday.

We are also looking for baked treats or fruit platters to be brought in before school on Tuesday (for our hardworking bonus teachers to enjoy) and helpers for setting up Wednesday morning’s staff breakfast.
