Dear Cardinal Families,
Let's Finish the School Year Strong! Student attendance is important all year, up to the last day of school. Attendance affects student performance and school accreditation. Regular attendance in elementary school is a strong predictor of grade-level performance. Learn more about attendance resources and see how to:
- Check your child’s attendance record.
- Help your student stay engaged at school.
- Report future absences.
- Understand the FCPS school calendar.
Together, we can help our students soar to success this year and beyond!
Warmly,
Allison Hoak, Principal
Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal

Cardinal Relay on Friday, June 7th
Cardinal Families YOU are invited to watch the Cardinal Relay. Select students in 3rd-6th grade have been nominated by their peers to participate in the annual Cardinal Relay. This event will take place on Friday June 7th at 9AM on the side softball field. The relay can be viewed from the hill by the blacktop or from anywhere around the infield.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Petty at clpetty1@fcps.edu.
💊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 June 12th, 2024 at 1 pm. 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).
