3rd grade students are learning to make connections to what they're reading!
Come learn about the Advance Academic Program, as well as Math and Literacy Instruction! Our English Language Teachers and Counselors will have an opportunity to explain how they support our students throughout the day. You will also have a chance to meet our PE, Music, Art, and FLES teachers.
This night is for parents and caregivers! We would appreciate having at least one adult per family join us. If you need support with childcare in order to attend, please contact the office at 703-799-2000.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday the 26th!
Title I federal legislation designed "to provide all children significant opportunities to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education and close educational achievement gaps." Elementary schools with a high level of families in need of financial support receive funds that can be used to hire staff and to purchase materials to meet the needs of their students and families.
Woodley Hills is designated as a Title I school and receives additional money to support the educational needs of our students. We use the majority of our funding to hire staff, such as Ms. Parsons (Math Specialist), Ms. Fiocchi (Instructional Coach), Ms. Rahnama (Social Worker) and to fund our afterschool program as well as purchase materials. In addition, division Title I funds have been used to provide full-time positions for Ms. Stebbins (Advanced Academics Resource Teacher) and Ms. Morris (Social Worker). Our Title I status has truly benefited all of our children!
If you want additional information, you can visit our website to learn more about our Title I Program at Woodley Hills ES.
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 23 - October 1, 2023, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

We need our students at school every day because it is extremely important for your child’s success. Studies have repeatedly proven that students with better attendance records perform better in school and are more likely to graduate high school on time. Did you know?
- Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
- Missing 10% (or about 2 days per month) can make it harder for your child to learn to read.
- Attending school even if your student arrives late is valuable for their academic success.
Please make sure to schedule appointments as well as family events and trips when school is not in session. Please review the FCPS School Year Calendar and try to plan any time away during long breaks from school.

During the first weeks of the year, caregivers receive many forms to complete. Several of the most important ones are below:
-

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.
