 Dear Panther Families,
What an exciting week we had at the Woods! On Saturday our Lady Panthers and their families completed their 1 mile run and it was our fastest yet! Way to go Panthers! On Thursday our PreK students enjoyed a puppet show put on by the Fairfax County Fire Department. We also had our annual SOL SMASH and some lucky staff members were pied in the face to pump up our students for the SOLs. Speaking of SOLs, testing starts next week for grades 3rd- 6th grade. Attendance will be very important during this time, so please make sure your students are on time to school!
Sincerely,
Gina O'Neal, Principal
Kristen Robinson, Assistant Principal
Christine Berry, Assistant Principal
Upcoming SOL Testing
 Testing will begin each day first thing in the morning. It is important that your child gets a good night of sleep, has a solid breakfast, and arrives to school on time the day of testing.
If you have specific questions about your child's SOL, please reach out to the classroom teacher.
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
As we approach the end of the school year, it’s important for students to stay engaged, attend school, and finish strong! Visit our website for attendance resources.
¡Asiste hoy, Tener Éxito Mañana!
A medida que nos acercamos al final del año escolar, es importante que los estudiantes se mantengan comprometidos, asistan a la escuela y terminen con fuerza. Visite nuestro sitio web para obtener recursos sobre la asistencia

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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
