Summer Greetings, Olde Creek Families!
We hope this summer newsletter finds you enjoying sunshine, relaxation, and making cherished memories. We at Olde Creek are busy buzzing with excitement for the upcoming school year! We'll be highlighting key dates for upcoming events like teacher meet-and-greets and orientation sessions in the next section of this newsletter.
In the meantime, savor the rest of your summer! We can't wait to see you all back soon.
Warmly,
Courtney, Alison and Stephanie
Early Relase Mondays
As you may have heard, the Virginia Literacy Act requires Elementary Teachers (classroom, special education, and ESOL) to complete approximately 27 hours of training focused on the Science of Reading and evidence-based literacy during the 2024-2025 school year.
As a result, Fairfax County Public Schools has planned seven early release Mondays starting in September. Please note the dates and times for your calendars listed below.
Olde Creek will release students at 12:15 PM on the following days:
- September 16
- October 21
- November 18
- February 10
- March 10
- April 21
- May 12
To support our families, FCPS has created a webpage with detailed information about the early release Mondays. We encourage you to visit this page for any additional information you may need.
2024-2025 Class Assignments
In August, we will be notifying families of class assignments using ParentVue. Please ensure that you have and can access your ParentVue account.
Need help creating a SIS ParentVUE account? This video walks through the steps. Find out more about SIS ParentVUE. If you need support getting access to your account, please reach out to Lizardo Santos (lisantos@fcps.edu).
Kindergarten Playdates
Our rising kindergartners and families are invited to come out and play on our playground on Wednesday, July 31 at 2:00 PM and Wednesday, August 14 at 5:30 PM.
This is a fantastic opportunity for our new students and parents to get to know one another. Please come directly to the playground when you arrive. These playdates are optional, unstructured events for our students and their parents. We look forward to seeing you there!
