Principal's Message

Hello Lake Anne Families, 

Our Dolphins are starting 3rd Quarter off strong! Students have been enjoying many learning opportunities to include deepening their understand of Black Historical Figures on the morning news. Our Family Science Night will be on Tuesday, February 6! We are looking forward to seeing everyone there. 

Next week, we will have many opportunities to celebrate our staff. February 5-9 is National School Counseling week and February 8th is National Crossing Guard Appreciation Day. Some ways you can celebrate Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Penning, Mrs. Palatucci (Mrs. Penning's Long Term Sub), and Mrs. Anne are:

  • Sending a kind e-mail
  • Making a card
  • Saying thank you at the crosswalk

Lastly, our grade levels have posted their January Newsletters in Schoology. Please log in to the LAES  Parent/Guardian Course in Schoology to receive important information about what your student is learning and grade level news!

We look forward to a fun week of celebration!

Have a Wonderful Weekend,

Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal

Dr. Brittany Rogers, Assistant Principal

Student Transfer Renewal Application Opens February 15

student transfer is valid for one year only. A parent or guardian must submit a renewal application each year for student transfer consideration. A renewal application may be submitted for students who continue to meet the same student transfer criteria as indicated on the original student transfer request. For students no longer meeting the same student transfer criteria, a new transfer request must be submitted.

All students will be considered eligible for student transfer renewal unless the principal indicates a student is not eligible for renewal in the Online Student Transfer Application Admin View or the transfer type does not allow for renewal e.g. graduating, moving from one level to another, or family relocation. 

Letters from the principal will be automatically generated from the online student transfer application in February for students eligible and not eligible for renewal and sent to the enrolling parents primary email address. 

For detailed information regarding the renewal process, please visit the Online Student Transfer Application: Renewal Process webpage.

🚍 Here Comes the Bus

Want to know if your child's bus is on schedule or where the bus is? Here Comes the Bus® is an easy-to-use website and app that enables parents to see the location of their child’s school bus — almost in real time — on a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. 

Parents can track multiple buses if their children don’t all ride the same bus; know exactly when children arrive at school or the bus stop; and receive customized text and/or email notifications about bus locations, schedule changes, or delays.

To get started, download the app from the Apple iOS or Android app store. Check out the Here Comes the Bus and Frequently Asked Questions webpages for more information.

Already using the Here Comes the Bus app? Send your feedback to HCTB@fcps.edu.  

Note: eNotify text messaging will continue to be used for reporting bus delays and bus incidents.
