boys at recess

 

Please sign up to show our appreciation by giving our teachers the “Gift of Time” on Monday, May 15 and Tuesday, May 16. Parent volunteers will supervise students during recess and then bring the class to the cafeteria- rain or shine!  If the weather is too wet, we will still have you support indoor recess. Please arrive ten minutes before the scheduled time to check in at the office and be sure to have a government issued ID for check-in.  Feel free to sign up for one slot or many, however, please check that your time slots do not overlap.  We appreciate you!

👩‍🏫Say “Thank You!” to Your Favorite Teacher

PE teacher and students

 

May 8 to 12 is Teacher Appreciation Week! You can submit a recorded message thanking and celebrating our school’s amazing teachers and staff. 

Your video message may be selected to share with our teachers and community on FCPS’ website and social media channels throughout Teacher Appreciation Week. Surprising our teachers and staff with these messages of gratitude and support is part of the fun, so keep your contribution under wraps until May. 

More information and a submission form are available online. Please be aware, the submission form requires a Google account. If you do not have a Google account and wish to be part of the celebration, share your messages on social media and tag FCPS on Facebook or Instagram.

💙Social Emotional Learning Screener Reports

Twice a year, students in grades 3-12 share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop skills they need to succeed through the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. These skills include achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. Students also share how successful their school and community are at making them feel valued, included, and supported. These factors are critical to positive academic, social, and emotional success. 

Spring 2023 SEL Screener results will be mailed to families in mid-May. The Social Emotional Learning Screener Parent/Guardian Report and Guide has been updated to better reflect how SEL Screener results are used to support school and districtwide planning, in addition to supports for individual students. Visit the FCPS SEL Screener webpage for information in multiple languages, including tips for talking with your student about the report and strategies for strengthening SEL at home.
