Principal's Message

Hello Lake Anne Families, 

Happy New Year! We were excited to welcome all of dolphins back after holiday break. They returned eager to share about their vacations, experiences, and opportunities to relax at home.

Our teachers have been hard at work resetting and refreshing our schoolwide expectations. We are excited for all the things to come this year!

As a reminder, our January Walk and Roll has been moved to January 19, 2024.

Have a wonderful Winter Break!!

Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal

Dr. Brittany Rogers, Assistant Principal

FCPS Family Math Week

a

Come together as a community for students in K-8 for 5 nights the week of January 8, 2024, with delightful math games and stories - all on your own time and from the comfort of your own home. All content will be available for free directly to all families in English and Spanish. 

Through rich story-based mathematics experiences, math week offers families  an opportunity to experience  math, literacy, history, and geography in a positive way. The games and stories feature several countries including Lesotho, Madagascar, Ghana, and China. 

All content will be available completely free on the website starting January 8, 2024. To access the games, families will be able to simply click on the day of the week and find their child's grade and language. View the website at anytime for explanations and videos.

Families can play for as little as 15 minutes or replay over and over lasting more than an hour on any given night. For families that want to reduce screen time, we will have physical print options for access to the content and games as well.

Use the games and stories on our website or dust off your favorite math game and play it as a family.

Any and ALL math experiences outside of a normal week count. Our goal is for FCPS to experience 1,000,000 minutes of math outside of the school day. Join us!
