National Bullying Awareness Month

October is National Bullying Awareness Month. Our counselors are focusing their classroom lessons this month around bullying and the role of the bystander. If your child reports being bullied, here are the recommended steps to follow.


Solar Eclipse Resources

Here are some Solar Eclipse resources for your family, which include safe viewing practices. We hope everyone takes the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary natural phenomenon.


AAP Parent Information Sessions

We will be hosting two sessions on the same day.  Both sessions will be In-Person in the Shrevewood ES Cafeteria.  The sessions with both cover the Introduction to AAP & Continuum of Available Services & Understanding the Full Time AAP Screening Process.

October 18, 2023, at 6:00-7:00p.m. - Shrevewood Cafeteria

🤒 When a Student Should Stay Home From School

Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.

Help your student succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your student stays home if they are sick. Visit FCPS’ website for information on when you should keep your child at home.

If your child has a chronic illness, please notify his/her teacher, so assistance can be provided if needed. Please contact us as soon as you know your child will be absent.

Read more about how families can help form good attendance habits.
