 There’s an easy five-step process for parents wanting to register their child for kindergarten:
- Determine eligibility.
- Identify your local school.
- Gather documents.
- Fill out forms.
- Schedule an appointment.
After the appointment at the school (the student and one caregiver must be present), the student will be ready for orientation, Bridge to Kindergarten, or any other introductory events each school may host. Read more about the registration process.
💻 Try Online Registration
Parents may register their children online for kindergarten through 12th grade. Learn how to begin the online registration process.
When registering, parents will create (or log in to an existing) SIS ParentVUE account. Please note that passwords should be more than 12 characters long. If you have an existing account and your password is shorter, please update it when you log in.
 The Nearly Cashless Scholastic Book Fair comes to our school from March 11th- 15th to share the newest books and other exciting learning products with our young readers. Parents, family members, and teachers will find plenty of items of interest to them as well. The fair is open each day from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. On Friday, we close at 1:00 to pack up. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Students will preview the Book Fair on March 11th and come home with a wish list for a few things they would like to get. Adults are invited to come anytime during the week to browse and/or make purchases. Adults may pull their child out of lunch to purchase books with them. If adults are unable to attend but would still like their child to purchase something, they may sign their child up for an eWallet account or send in cash. We are NO LONGER ACCEPTING PERSONAL CHECKS due to the amounts being potentially wrong if we run out of stock. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND signing your child up for an eWallet account. Cash gets lost, eWallet accounts don’t. It is very helpful to have a list of what the student is allowed to buy, especially in the primary grades. Click the following link for more detailed information on the fair, how to volunteer at the fair, and information on eWallet (the cashless way to pay):https://www.smore.com/1wujr
Teachers will be signing up for their own eWallet accounts and sending out the links. These accounts are for the teachers to purchase books from the fair for their classroom libraries. Feel free to donate any amount that you are comfortable with. The books purchased will enrich the education of children for years to come. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Every year, March is designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation.

This year, the first full day of Ramadan is Monday, March 11. In Islam, Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year. During this month Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset each day while striving to increase their spirituality, through prayers, charity and good deeds. Read more about Ramadan in National Geographic Kids. March 11 is an O day. The school calendar recognizes many religious and cultural observances (O days) during the school year. There is school on these days, however tests, quizzes, field trips, graduation, homecoming, or FCPS-scheduled athletic events will not be held on these observance days. See the complete 2022-23 school year calendar.Throughout the year, as we celebrate and recognize various cultural holidays and observances, families are encouraged to contact their student’s principal regarding accommodations, including but not limited to those around lunch, prayer/meditation and silent reflection spaces and times, and instruction. |
To celebrate the careers in our community, our students would love to hear and learn some interesting facts about your job.
