 Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Everyone really got into "Decades Day" while celebrating our February birthdays on Friday. Next month is silly socks on March 22.
Our teachers and staff look forward to a full week of learning! Did you know we are about 1/2 way through the 3rd quarter already? See last week's newsletter for ways parents can support their child's learning from home.
We have been noticing an uptick of late arrivals in the morning. All students need to be in the doors by 8:15 to be on time. Students will be marked tardy if they are not in the building by 8:15 AM. Students that arrive after 8:15 must be walked in by a parent into the main office.
Parent Reminders:
1. Don't forget to order your child the Lemon Road 2023 - 2024 yearbook (school code: 26164)
2. Parents that would like a copy of Stuart Gibbs new book need to return the form in their Wednesday folder by March 3.
Thank you to everyone that attended our PTA meeting this week - check out the slide show on MemberHub for more information on the summer camp options discussed!

The Fairfax Board of Elections has requested that schools be closed on Tuesday, March 5th, to accommodate the safe and efficient administration of the 2024 presidential primary election. Therefore, March 5th will be a school holiday for students and a virtual School Planning Day for school staff.
Central and school offices will remain open. SACC will remain open, as on other professional work days.
Next week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Love of Learning. Love of learning means you master new topics on your own or in school. Those with a love of learning are intrinsically motivated and engaged in a topic regardless of achieving an external standard. They enjoy learning simply for the sake of learning. They don’t need a prize of a high grade as a reward. Their reward is the process of doing the work and improving.
To practice and encourage the character strength of love of learning with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
