Principal's Message

Although this week was a little out of the ordinary with unexpected weather and air quality concerns, our students were flexible as always and enjoyed some indoor recess the past couple of days! 

Please use this link to view the recording of last week's Band and Strings concert with performers in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students!

Next week is the last week of the 2022-2023 school year! We have many fun activities planned to celebrate! Tuesday students will participate in Field Day! If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to your students' teacher via talking points! Thursday, our sixth grade students will celebrate moving onto Middle School with our Promotion Ceremony. All information was sent out in students Thursday folders and via talking points. Please reach out to your students' teacher or the main office if you have any questions! We look forward to celebrating all of our students' accomplishments and hard work they have shown all year! 

Have a restful and safe weekend! 

With love, 

Kathleen Sain

Mental Wellness Summer Supports

The FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will offer virtual Mental Wellness Consultations from June 26 to August 4. Any FCPS parent or secondary student can schedule a 45-minute consultation with a school psychologist or school social worker by phone or videoconference. Consultations will be offered in two ways:

  • Directly to parents of students in any grade level. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social, emotional, and academic success. Information about community resources will also be provided.
  • Directly to students in middle or high school. This consultation provides an opportunity for middle and high school students to receive guidance and support for concerns related to anxiety, mood, behavior, peer or family interactions, or school transitions and changes. Strategies and tools can also be provided to address academic challenges such as organization and time management.

 

All parents and secondary students are encouraged to take advantage of this service. Consultations can be requested online or by calling 703-503-2520 and leaving a message.
