PTA Directory Coming Soon!
The Deer Park PTA is preparing the 2023-2024 Student Parent directory. This directory provides a listing of all enrolled students, Preschool to 6th grade. It includes the student name, parent name and parent email (no phone numbers). It will be distributed to PTA members.
If you DO NOT want your information included in the directory, you must opt-out by tomorrow, Friday, January 19th by emailing our Registrar, Laura Zirzow.
Directory opt-out information was provided at the start of the school year, but we respect your privacy and want to make sure you've had another opportunity to opt-out of the directory if you so choose.
If you would like to receive a PTA directory, you can join the PTA at this link: PTA/Membership.
All directory opt out choices can be found at this link.
Attention 3rd-5th Graders!
You are invited to participate in Deer Park’s Virginia Readers’ Choice Program! The Virginia State Literacy Association has nominated 10 books “to encourage young readers to become better acquainted with contemporary books with outstanding literary appeal, to broaden students’ awareness of literature as a life-long pleasure, to encourage reading aloud in classrooms as a means of introducing reading for pleasure, and to honor favorite books and their authors.”
Students who read 5 of the books and complete a form for each book will earn a star on the Library Wall of Fame. Students completing all 10 books and a form for each will earn a 2nd star on the Wall of Fame, they will be invited to a special celebration this spring, and they will participate in state-wide voting to name the best elementary book for Virginia. The Deer Park library has copies of the nominated books. Students have until April 1, 2024 to complete the program.
Students can check out Schoology/Groups/2242 DP Virginia Readers’ Choice 2023-24 for details and to access the forms! Questions? Email Librarian Mrs. Farfan: KMFarfan@fcps.edu

Give Kids a Smile
Give Kids A Smile® is an annual volunteer initiative
providing free educational, preventive and restorative services to children from low-income families. Thousands of dentists across the country will take time from their practices to help underserved children who aren’t getting the oral health care they need.
Give Kids a Smile focuses on the epidemic of untreated oral disease among disadvantaged children and delivers the message that dentists alone can’t solve this problem without a real commitment from government and society. And to provide an effective platform from which dental societies can advocate common sense, market-based solutions to local access problems.
When: February 3, 2024
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Location: Dentists of Sterling; 21435 Epicerie Plz; Sterling, VA 20164
To volunteer or for more information, contact Jeffrie Vega (703)454-0560
