FCPS Calendar for the 2023-24 School Year

August 28 - September 8 Spirit Weeks: Welcome Our Kindergarteners
September 1-4 Holiday: Labor Day Weekend - No School
September 21 Back to School Night, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
There is no school for staff or students on Friday, September 1 or Monday, September 4 in honor of Labor Day holiday. The Bren Mar Park front office will be closed.
We invite families to join us for Back to School Night beginning at 6:00 p.m. There will be two sessions so families can learn about what their children will be learning in the different grade levels.
Bren Mar Park has been identified a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This allows the school to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting applications. For those families who may qualify for free and reduced meal pricing, you are encouraged to still complete the application in order to receive other additional benefits.
- Just a few missed days a month adds up to several school weeks missed in a year.
- Excused and unexcused absences can make it more difficult for your child to keep up with others, especially in math and reading.
- Kindergarten and first grade are critical. Missing school during these years makes it more difficult for children to learn later.
