Elementary Early Release Mondays Information 

To meet the requirements of the Virginia Literacy Act passed by the General Assembly, all FCPS elementary schools will have seven 3 hour early release Mondays. This time will be utilized for teachers to complete required professional development for the new Virginia Literacy Act, as well as plan instruction using the new reading and math state standards. Additional information can be found on the FCPS  Early Release Mondays webpage.

We wanted to provide a reminder, following up from the communication that was sent out by Forestville Elementary and from FCPS in June.
