 Thank you to our PTA for the delicious treats in the lounge and door to door on Friday for our amazing staff & teachers! This really welcomed in March at Lemon Road!
Our 2nd graders loved sharing their realistic fiction stories with their grown ups on Friday. We had a great turnout and the student work was well written! Thank you to our 6th grade parents who joined our students and staff on their field trip to Philadelphia - this was a long, but fantastic day for our students to experience the American History that they have been learning about.
Please remember that Tuesday is a student holiday. The Fairfax Board of Elections requested that schools be closed on Tuesday, March 5th, to accommodate the administration of the 2024 presidential primary election. Central offices, school offices, and SACC will remain open. Have a great week!

FCPS’ Family Engagement Survey will open Sunday, March 3rd. Parents/caregivers will receive the survey link via email from independent research firm K12 Insight. Please participate — your feedback is critical in helping to inform and improve practices to best support our students.
Taking this survey will also help strengthen the partnership between your family and your school. When that partnership is strong, students can experience a range of benefits including improved school readiness, higher student achievement, better social skills and behavior, and an increased likelihood of graduating high school.
The survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete and will be available in 10 languages. Please visit the Family Engagement Survey webpage for more information. Your voice matters!
In case you missed it in FCPS This Week, the school division shared updates on the following topics:
- Where FCPS Funding Comes From
- Community Conversation on Fentanyl and Other Drugs
- FCPS Family Engagement Survey Opens March 3

Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Lemon Road will host Kindergarten Orientation on the morning of April 15. During orientation, families can visit classrooms, experience specials, hear about Bridge to Kindergarten (summer program), purchase school supplies, and mark your calendar for our summer events! Registering your child early helps us plan, so that we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
Prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms. We are happy to support families with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more information in other languages, visit FCPS’ Kindergarten Registration webpage.
