Floris Families,
June begins tomorrow, and we have so many great activities happening in these last days of the school year. Next Wednesday and Thursday evenings are the annual 6th grade musical performances. Grade level end-of-year celebrations and reflections are happening in the upcoming days as well.
Another reminder that if you are coming to school for any event (lunch visit, guest reader, a meeting, class party, etc.) you must have your government issued photo ID to sign in at the Visitor Management System in the main office.
Also, please remember to check out the Lost and Found in the cafeteria when you are here. It is overflowing Anything that remains after 2:00pm on June 12 will be packed and donated.
Next Monday, our Floris alumni who are seniors at Westfield HS will be at Floris for their annual Grad Walk, and on Thursday, our South Lakes HS Floris alumni seniors will be celebrating with their Grad Walk as well. It is wonderful to welcome and celebrate our Floris alums this way.
Our Kinders were having so much fun this morning at the annual Big Truck Day. We appreciate everyone's flexibility with parking and Kiss-and-Ride to enable this amazing annual event (which has been happening at least since I was a teacher at Floris in 1993).
A reminder to families, if your child has medication in the School Health Room, a parent must come to Floris by Wednesday, June 12, at 2:00pm to pick up the medication.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Holly Walker, Principal, hjwalker@fcps.edu
Rob Gibbs, Assistant Principal, ragibbs@fcps.edu

Fairfax County is hosting its 1st Puzzle Hunt!
When: Launches June 15, 2024
The Solving Fun Puzzle Pals have been hard at work, creating an exhilarating adventure for puzzle solvers. We are thrilled to announce the Fairfax County Puzzle Hunt, a unique community event that will take you on a journey to the wonderful parks in Fairfax County. Starting this summer, solve one puzzle or do them all. Puzzles are filled with creative thinking, logic, and wordplay. They are designed to be challenging and accessible for all skill levels. Solve the puzzles and then find clues at the parks for a final meta-puzzle. Walk, bike, and roll at our wonderful local parks with friends and family. For more information go to https://www.solvingfun.com/fairfax.
