Safe Students, Safe Schools
Fairfax County Public Schools believes that academic success is built on the foundation of a safe learning environment. This includes physical safety, and mental health and wellness. FCPS has a comprehensive approach to safety that involves physical security measures, online monitoring by security staff, and crisis intervention support. The division has created the Safe Students, Safe Schools Brochure (PDF) to enhance your awareness of potential hazards and to equip you with practical tips for how you can help. Visit the FCPS website for more information.

Cold Weather is Here!
As temperatures drop, please be sure to send your children with coats and outerwear to keep them warm for outdoor activities. Bringing these additional items to and from school means that the Lost & Found is growing! Please be sure to label your student's items and encourage your child to check the Lost & Found for any missing items.
