The end of the school year brings much to celebrate.
We are so grateful to the PTA and our families for celebrating our staff in April. We are continuing the celebration this week as we recognize the many ways our staff support our students and each other each day.
This year we have two amazing teachers retiring, Mrs. Rumohr and Ms. Linehan, after serving FCPS and Wakefield Forest students for many years.
Our staff actively seek ways to connect with families, building positive partnerships that help students thrive. We also appreciate the ways in which they create a welcoming environment, where parents feel involved in their child's education.
A big THANK YOU to all our amazing teachers and staff! Their hard work, dedication, and connection with your children are truly making a difference.

It is time to start planning for our next school year. Developing class assignments each year is a complex process. School administration, classroom teachers, counselors, special education staff and specialists all have the opportunity to provide feedback on class groupings.
If you have feedback that you would like for us to consider, please add it to this Family Input Form no later than May 17, 2024. Late submissions will not be accepted. We will consider all feedback provided, but we are not always able to fulfill requests.
We respectfully ask that you do not request particular teachers. It is unfair to give special consideration to some families when it would be impossible to grant requests from all families. Please be aware that grade level assignments for staff sometimes change, due to late enrollments or other changes. Staff assignments are determined at the end of the summer.
