 Reminder: There is no school tomorrow, Friday, September 1, and Monday, September 4, for the labor day holiday. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day. We hope everyone takes the long weekend to celebrate a strong start to the school year and enjoy time with family and friends. See the complete school year calendar.
 The Boosterthon Fun Run is BACK! The booster team will be on campus starting on September 14, which will culminate in an all school Fun Run on September 22. Registration opens today, August 31, so start signing your children up on mybooster.com!! For anyone new to Boosterthon, check your weekly newsletters and your child's backpack for more information on the event. Any questions please email: vpfundraising@clermontpta.org.
Join the Clermont PTA for a back-to-school celebration on Thursday, September 7 from 5 pm-7 pm at the Clermont playground. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow Clermont parents, learn more and sign up for the PTA, and much more fun! As a thank you to our PTA members and a welcome to our new families, we will have free pizza (first-come, first-serve while supplies last) available! Or, feel free to bring our own snacks/dinner and join in on the fun!
We are looking for volunteers to help setup the event and help with face painting! If you are interested in assisting, please email Lynn at outreach at clermontpta.org.
Some of you may have noticed some new faces at Back to School Night. Please join us in welcoming these new Clermont staff members!

2023 Student Rights and Responsibilities
FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. In late June, the School Board approved changes to the SR&R for the 2023-24 school year. Updates include a revision of dress code expectations, bystander expectations for students witnessing harmful or unsafe behaviors, bullying, and substance abuse responses. Read Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid’s letter to families regarding the SR&R.
Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your child’s school by Friday, September 29.
Parental Permission to Use Digital Resources
Some FCPS-approved digital resources require parent consent before they can be used by students. Find the list of resources which require consent on the Parent Consent webpage. This page also includes directions for providing permission.
Each digital resource used in FCPS has had an instructional and technical review. Information about the educational technology tools approved for use within FCPS can be found in the online Digital Ecosystem Library.
Parents can find more information about FCPS-approved digital resources on the Digital Resources in FCPS webpage.
Emergency Care Cards and Health Information
Emergency Care Cards and Health Information forms can be updated in SIS ParentVUE. Please carefully review these documents for accuracy.
Directions: Enrolling parents, log on to SIS ParentVUE and select Online Packets on the top right-hand side, and then select Online Verification/Update - OVU. Step-by-step Instructions for how to do this can be found here.
Verifying/submitting your Emergency Care and Health Information forms via your SIS ParentVue accounts allows us to have the most current information instantly accessible in our database and will prevent any delays in processing updates to new contact information. This method will also allow you to simultaneously update information for any other children for whom you are the enrolling parent in FCPS.
Today, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students heard about their options for instrumental and choral music this year. The music department would love to have as many students sign up as possible. If your child is interested in band, strings, or chorus please complete your child’s registration form by Thursday, August 31st. We are forming our groups and would like to start classes the week of September 11th.
The link to register students is Clermont Music Registration 2023-2024

Band: Ms. Bowen and
Chorus: Ms. Fowler .
Strings Information Night
September 5th at 7pm
Clermont Elementary Cafeteria
For all parents, guardians, and students interested in the strings program. Students who are already registered, are beginners, or are returning to strings are invited to attend with their parent or guardian. If possible, please bring your child with you so they can be measured for an instrument. There will be some local music stores at the meeting who will measure students for instruments and who will be able to rent you an instrument at the meeting to save you a trip to the music store if you are interested.
