2024-25 Class Placement / Parent Input
The 2024-2025 school year planning has begun! To assist in this process, we would like to invite you to provide some information about your child using our parent input form.
Your child's current and upcoming classroom teachers work together with specialists and the grade-level team to prepare class assignments for the next school year. They will review this form and consider the information relevant to the class assignment. Providence has an incredible staff! Please do not request a specific teacher. Please submit no later than May 24.
Annual Field Day Event
Field Day is scheduled for Monday, June 3rd, 2024.
Students in grades K-4 will be assigned a team for Field Day in the coming weeks. They will either be on a red, white, or blue team. Please have your child wear a shirt the color of their group.

The City of Fairfax News
The Northern VA Mineral Club Event (Commons Park in Country Club Hills)
May 18th- 10:00am (Rain Date May 19th)
Geology of Upper Accotink Creek
-Our next field trip focuses on the upper part of a major watershed in Fairfax County, VA. Accotink Creek, 25 miles long, straddles two geologic provinces
in our area, the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain.
-The stream originates just north of the city of Fairfax and crosses onto the Coastal Plain near Lorton, then joins the Potomac estuary near Gunston Hall (home of Founding Father George Mason).
-Upper Accotink Creek traverses Piedmont bedrock more than half a billion years old.
-We will meet at a small park near Fairfax city and walk to Accotink Creek, where we will see outcrops of metamorphic bedrock. We will also examine gravel bars along the creek for quartz in various hues and for fine-grained, greenish-gray pieces of bedrock ranging from meta-siltstone to phyllite and metatuff.
-Club members will lead the trip, explaining the origins of the bedrock, its context within the geology of our area, and the general history of the creek itself.
When: Saturday, May 18, 10 a.m. (rain date: May 19)
Where: Country Club Hills Commons Park, 10050 Spring Lake Terrace, Fairfax, VA (has street parking)
-The walk to the creek is short, but the vegetation is dense, so wear appropriate clothing, such as long sleeves and pants.
-The creek is small but has no bridges and we will cross it, so wear rubber boots or sturdy shoes. (Without rubber boots, your feet might get a little wet.)
