 Dear Sleepy Hollow Families,
We hope you had a great weekend! We are coming off of an exciting week at Sleepy Hollow. Our students in various grade levels learned about Groundhogs Day including some 4th graders met and virtually interviewed Punxsutawney Phil. We completed our required safety drill of a Lockdown Drill. Some classrooms made beautifully decorated cards for Valentine's for Vets. Lastly, we ended the week with Wacky Hair Day on Friday and the highlight for many students was duct tape your Principal and Assistant Principal to the wall! Thank you PTA for donating the numerous rolls of duct tape.
Warm regards,
Mirnaly Vega and Tim Scesney
Principal and Assistant Principal

LIBRARY NEWS
It's almost time for the SHES book fair! The biggest change for this year is that students will visit the fair and make their purchase on the day of their visit. If you want your child to make a purchase, they should bring money on the day their classroom makes their visit to the fair. Book sales begin this Friday February 9th. The Bookworm Central flyer will be sent home in the Wednesday folder with additional details including the schedule of which day each class will attend the book fair. If you would like the opportunity to select a book with your child, join us on Tuesday February 13th from 3:30 - 6:30 pm. Questions? Interested in helping at the fair? Please reach out to our librarian at barbara.oswalt@fcps.edu. Thanks for your support of our book fair!

🚍 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.
