Last Day of School (Early Dismissal)

The last day of the 2023-24 school year is Wednesday, June 12, and students will be dismissed early. Clermont will dismiss at 1:50 pm. 

Plan ahead and check out 2024-2025 calendar: https://www.fcps.edu/calendars/standard-school-year-calendar 


Return Library Books!

Reminder: All library books were due May 29th. Please return all library books!


School Health Room Medication Pick Up

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site  on  the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

If you have any questions, please contact our school health room aide, Tina Buckingham, at tjbuckingham@fcps.edu, or our school public health nurse, Hassan Sesay at hsesay1@fcps.edu.

The PTA Needs You!

As we approach the end of the school year, we are still in search of a Vice President of Enrichment for the 2024-2025 school year. If we are unable to find one, we will have to say goodbye to some school-favorite events such as International Festival, Science Festival, Math Nights, and more. We need your help! Whomever fills this role will not work alone - they will have support from event chairs, committee members, fellow board members, and school admin & staff! But without a board member to oversee these efforts, we will be unable to continue to plan these events for the upcoming school year. 

Here is what is required from this role:

* Attend (1) virtual board meeting per month

* Attend (4) virtual or in-person membership meetings per year

* Oversee committee/event chairs for activities and groups that fall under this role, including:

  • International Festival
  • Science Festival
  • Math Nights
  • Veteran's Day
  • Odyssey of the Mind
  • Learning Garden
  • Run at Recess

If you are willing to assist in joining our board, please reach out as soon as possible to president@clermontpta.org. We will vote on Monday, June 10th to elect the new board for the school year. Thank you!


🚌 Shift Gears Into a New Career at the FCPS Bus Driver Job Fair

🏫 Make a “SUB”stantial Difference in FCPS

FCPS is always looking for kind and caring substitute teachers and substitute instructional assistants to ensure our students continue to thrive when teachers and instructional assistants need to be out of the classroom. FCPS substitutes provide consistency and continuity for our students and make a “SUB”stantial difference in our schools! Learn more at www.fcps.edu/careers/career-opportunities/substitute-teaching
