Staying Healthy This Cold/Flu Season

Cases of RSV, the flu, and other viruses often rise this time of year. It is important for students to wash their hands regularly and cover their coughs and sneezes. Please monitor your child’s health daily and keep them at home if they are sick. Visit FCPS' Health and Safety Guidance webpage for more tips.

Peter Pan Jr. Performance Date Change

Happy New Year!  We have been so happy to see the Peter Pan cast and crew this week!

Over the winter break we identified numerous competing demands on our 6th grade performers, so we have made the decision in collaboration with administration to move our show dates to May 21 and May 22, 2024. Save the date and note we can now offer two evening performances to showcase our students' talents.
