Floris Families,

Thank you to the Floris PTA, families, and students for the many ways you have shown your appreciation of our staff this week. We are grateful for everything our amazing staff has done this year and are also grateful for such a wonderful community who shares their appreciation in some many ways.

Shout out to our strings teachers, Sean Arzaga and Tori Field, and our 4th, 5th and 6th grade students for the fabulous concerts last Thursday evening. Great job all!

Kudos go out to our 5th-6th grade band students and Deni Cunningham, our band teacher, for a wonderful concert on Tuesday evening. Let's go band!

Our 5th graders are taking their Science SOL today, and SOL testing begins in full next week. If your child is in 3rd-6th grade, please look closely at the SOL Test Schedule below. Please make sure that your children bring their fully charged laptop each day, because students are testing on their student laptop. It’s important that students are at school on time and well rested. 

Happy Mother's Day on Sunday to all the moms and mother figures!

Have a wonderful weekend, 

Holly Walker, Principal, hjwalker@fcps.edu

Rob Gibbs, Assistant Principal, ragibbs@fcps.edu
