March 15 - Family Newsletter
Rolling Valley Families,
Daylight savings time means we’ve seen more smiles from students playing basketball and enjoying the playground after school! As we have more activities and students enjoying the sunlight I’d like to remind all drivers who utilize our parking lot to watch their speed! We’ve noticed many drivers zipping through the parking lot before and after school! Please be mindful of your speed!
A reminder that this Saturday (3/16) is Ballin’ for Buddies at WSHS! We hope to see you there cheering on our Rockin’ Robins from 12-2 pm! Next week is the last week before spring break, and it will surely be busy! A few reminders about next week - we have a virtual PTA meeting (more info. below), 4th grade is on a field trip, and we have an author visit!
Enjoy this gorgeous spring weather and have a great weekend!
Veronica Del Bagno

Ramadan
This year, the first full day of Ramadan was 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.
FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form
On Monday, March 18, Rolling Valley parents/guardians will be sent an email containing a link to complete the online FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form. This questionnaire is part of the VDOE-mandated Performance Evaluation Program for principals and offers parents/guardians an opportunity to provide anonymous input about various topics related to our school. These topics include how the principal demonstrates/impacts instructional leadership, school climate, management, communication and community relations, culturally responsive and equitable leadership, and professionalism within the school.
The questionnaire will be administered between March 18 and April 5. When you receive an email from FCPS Surveys, please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your feedback matters!
