Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is a beloved day at Silverbrook. We are asking that parents follow these guidelines for the class celebration.
- Please contact your child’s teacher to check on types of allergies before purchasing snacks.
- Parties are limited to 1.5 hours.
- Parent participation at the party will be between 2-4 parents. This is based on teachers’ discretion. Please make childcare arrangements for siblings.
- We cannot have balloons of any kind (no bouquets, arches, or single balloons).
Room parents will have access to decorate the classroom door on Tuesday, February 13th after dismissal.
What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse
FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.
What can families do?
- Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink.
- Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success.
- Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage.
- Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors.
- Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”
