 Keene Mill Happenings
Students and staff were busy at Keene Mill this week. On Thursday, students participated in Chalk for Kindness to culminate the Helping Games! Congratulations to the yellow team for coming out on top! On Friday, Ms. Peace and Mrs. Colter met with our military connected students to allow them to form connections and share experiences.
Lockdown Notification
Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for all of us. We have a crisis management and emergency preparedness plan for our school that is reviewed and updated regularly. Our plan includes procedures on how to respond to incidents such as fires and tornadoes. Students and staff regularly practice these drills every school year. We also practice lockdown drills.
A new Virginia Law (22.1-137.2) requires schools to notify parents at least 24 hours before a school practices a lockdown drill. However, we are not required to share the exact date and time of the drill. We are required to practice lockdown drills two times a year. FCPS lockdown drills do not include any type of active shooter scenario training, they are instruction and classroom based.
We will conduct a lockdown drill at our school soon.
Additional information on our lockdown drill program to include parent tips and FAQs can be found on the Emergency Planning and Crisis Response web page. After reviewing this content, you should discuss the value of these safety drills with your child.
Keeping our school safe and secure for all students and staff involves the participation of the entire school community, and we thank you for your help to keep our school safe.

This is our annual (and only!) fundraiser for Keene Mill, and our goal is to raise $28,500 for classroom libraries, continued garden improvements, classroom rugs, continuing PTA initiatives, classroom supplies, and other school and PTA programs and events.
Last year’s Boosterthon funds have been put to use throughout the school: new classroom rugs, a hallway mural, a sensory walk on the blacktop, day-long author visit from Ralph Masiello, three assemblies with Mad Science DC, courtyard garden upgrades, Family Science Night, and much more. Your donations make a direct impact on our Keene Mill students and we thank you for your support!
