 We hope you are having a wonderful summer break! We are excited to be welcoming lions back into our building less than a month from today!
The first day of the 2024-25 school year is Monday, August 19. We will hold our annual Kindergarten Open House, New Family Orientation, Grades 1 - 6 Open House, and Welcome Back BBQ the afternoon of Thursday, August 15. These events will run between 12:30 - 4:00 PM. Open House is a time when students & families come to Lemon Road, meet their teacher, drop off supplies, see their classroom, and visit specialists. Patrols for the 2024 - 2025 School Year will have the opportunity to pick up their patrol belt with Mr. Hickman. Questions about patrols can be directed to tjhickman@fcps.edu.
Homeroom teacher assignments will populate in ParentVue the week of Open House and will be posted during Open House in the cafeteria.
We will continue to update you with information as we get closer to the first day of school. We look forward to welcoming our students and families back to Lemon Road in a few short weeks. As always, thank you for your support and have a wonderful rest of your summer!
