Family Input Form SY 2023-24

Developing class assignments each year is a complex process. School administration, classroom teachers, counselors, special education staff and specialists all have the opportunity to provide feedback on class groupings. 

If you have feedback that you would like for us to consider, please add it to this Family Input Form no later than May 12, 2023. Late submissions will not be accepted. We will consider all feedback provided, but we are not always able to fulfill requests. 

We respectfully ask that you do not request particular teachers. It is unfair to give special consideration to some families when it would be impossible to grant requests from all families. Please be aware that grade level assignments for staff sometimes change, due to late enrollments or other changes.  Staff assignments are determined at the end of the summer.


National Library Week Recognized by School Board

lib proc

April is National Library month! While visiting the library this year, students have enjoyed many conversations about the new library being built as part of our renovation, and have had the pleasure of watching it come to life right from the windows of our current space.

At the school board meeting on April 27, the FCPS school board issued an official proclamation declaring the week of April 23 through April 29 National Library Week in honor of our county’s committed librarians. We are grateful to Mrs. Rapuano and Mrs. Grimsley for their work in making the library the hub of our school.
