Attendance Updates
We narrowly beat Beech Tree last week with 94% attendance. They had 93%. Way to go! All classes have earned some extra recess!
Did you know that missing just 2 days of school each month causes a student to miss 30 hours of math instruction and 60 hours of reading and writing instruction. Attendance is critical to student success. Remember...its' cool to be in school!
If your child is not feeling well, please refer to the When Should I Keep My Child Home? webpage for guidance.

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.

23-24 SIIP (School Improvement & Innovation Plan)
Our SIIP is now posted on our school website at this link. We have 3 goals (1 reading, 1 math, and absenteeism) which are directly aligned to the new FCPS Strategic Plan. Visit this site to learn more about the Strategic Plan.
A team of staff members started to analyze data this past July, and these findings are what helped drive our SIIP plan. Region 2 leaders also provided input and feedback. The plan will be monitored every quarter.
