Principal Message
Good afternoon Roadrunner families,
I hope everyone takes some time this week to spend extra special time with your son or daughter. While some of us may go away on vacation, this is also a great time to do a staycation with your child and experience the wonderful things the DMV has to offer every day. Here are my top five things to do in DC with my family.
Top 5 Things to Do:
1. Visit a museum: With all the Mall has to offer, a free visit to The African American History Museum is a must, but if your child loves nature, the Natural History Museum is the place to go.
2. Family: My best memories were of seeing family nearby and spending a few days with cousins and older relatives.
3. Baltimore Aquarium: a must-see for every DMV resident
4. Movie: Come on, sometimes the best times you can spend talking about a great movie you just watched, and it makes for a great lifetime connection.
5. Bike ride near the Works: The Works has a great path next to it, offering a smooth, flat ride and great scenery. If you feel adventurous, go into Occoquan Park, but be prepared for the ride back out.
Whatever you decide to do with your family, we wish you well and look forward to seeing you on April 3rd.
Warmest Regards,
Your Principals
Dr. Legagneur, Ms. Champion, Ms. Kayes, Mr. Barton

March 25-29 is spring break. Schools and school offices will be closed. We wish our students and teachers a happy and restful Spring Break! See the complete school year calendar.
This week we recognize those in our community observing Good Friday. This year's Good Friday artwork was created by Chantilly High School student Summer S. On this day, Christians observe the commemoration of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for those who believe. #OurFCPS
A joyful Easter to all in our community who celebrate! This year's Easter artwork was created by Falls Church High School student Dayanara M. The springtime celebration of Easter is the most important Christian holiday.

It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
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. Our school typically conducts kindergarten registration events, including orientation, in the spring during March or April. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but 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.
¡Es El Momento de Inscribirse al Kindergarten!
Asistir al kindergarten les ofrece a los niños la oportunidad de aprender y practicar las habilidades sociales, emocionales, de resolución de problemas y de autorregulación que usarán durante toda su vida. Nuestra escuela normalmente lleva a cabo eventos de registro para el kindergarten, incluyendo la orientación, en la primavera durante marzo o abril. Los niños que cumplen con los requisitos también pueden inscribirse durante el verano, pero inscribir a su hijo con anticipación nos ayuda a planificar, de modo que tengamos los maestros y los recursos necesarios el primer día de clases.
Para prepararse para la inscripción, reúna los documentos y complete los formularios. Estamos encantados de ayudar a las familias con la inscripción y la transición al kindergarten. Para obtener más información en otros idiomas, visite la página web de FCPS Registro para el Kindergarten.
Passover
Many Jewish communities in the United States celebrate Passover, a recognition of the deliverance of Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. Passover is also known as Pesah, Pesach, or the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Many Jewish families in the United States eat a ceremonial meal known as the Seder, which involves telling the story of the exodus from Egypt as well as eating various symbolic foods, such as meat of the paschal lamb and bitter herbs, recalling the harsh life of slavery.
