 Murphy the therapy dog visited the fox den today and we sure loved seeing him!
Dear Willow Springs Families,
This was another active & energy filled week of learning and growing together at the fox den. We all enjoyed the terrific weather this week and the opportunity to have outdoor recess every day. This week we had a fire drill and next week we will have a tornado drill. Today both our SCA and our WFOX New Team had meetings with their student leaders and members.
Today was an especially fun filled day as we geared up for Spirit Night tonight. Staff members wore their jerseys and student were deciding if they were going to cheer on Team Fox or Team Willow. The great news is that we are ALL winners just by showing up and having fun together. We hope to see MANY of you tonight at Chantilly High School. Doors open at 6:00 PM and the game starts at 6:30 PM. See you soon!
We wish all of our families a wonderful weekend filled with positive energy. Thank you for sending us your best every day! #WillowPride

🧘Meditation and Reflection Spaces
FCPS has created a regulation to ensure all students and staff have reasonable accommodation and access to meditation and silent reflection spaces within the school division. Regulation 1502: Expectations for Meditation and Silent Reflection Space Accommodations provides guidance for schools on how to manage requests for silent reflection during instructional and non-instructional time and for students to leave school for religious activities.
These spaces are designated areas within a school or on school premises for individuals to engage in prayer, meditation, or silent reflection, inclusive of their religious or non-religious beliefs. Parents/caregivers must provide written permission for students requesting to miss instructional time on a regular basis. View Regulation 1502 for more information.
