Floris Families,
We may have shifted into meteorological fall in the month of September, but the warm summer temperatures continue to hang on. It has been a very warm week and we are looking forward to some cooler days ahead.
We have completed our first two required fire evacuation drills, and our first Lockdown drill is scheduled for next week.
Please remember that next Tuesday, September 12, is fall picture day. Please see details below.
We look forward to seeing the Red, White, and Blue all around Floris Monday in honor of Patriot Day and in recognition of the 22nd anniversary of September 11.
Have a super weekend!

2023-24 Health and Safety Guidance for Schools
Although the COVID-19 hospital transmission level (previously the COVID-19 Community Transmission level) for Fairfax County is currently low, COVID-19 cases have risen in Virginia during the last few weeks, and flu season will soon be upon us. Be sure to review FCPS Health and Safety Guidance for the best ways to prevent the spread of disease and to find out when students should stay home from school.
