"What's New at Little Run!" Recap

We want to express our sincere gratitude to families and staff for taking the time to attend our "What's New at Little Run Elementary School" meeting. Family, staff, and community presence and engagement are invaluable as we work together to create a thriving learning environment for our students.

It was a pleasure sharing our school's mission and vision, as well as outlining the goals that will guide us in achieving student success. We believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential, and we are committed to fostering these connections.

To enhance our collaboration and student opportunities, we are excited to introduce several new initiatives:

  • Action Team for Partnership: This team will provide a platform for parents and staff to work together on school improvement initiatives.
  • Listening Conferences: Classroom teachers will reach out to families during their first week back to schedule a one on one conference in addition to our Open House and annual picnic. More information to follow.
  • Quarterly Student Awards: We will be recognizing students for their outstanding achievements in attendance, academics, and character.
  • Get 2 Green ECO Team: Students in grades 3-6 will participate in environmental initiatives, while kindergarten through second grade will engage in curriculum-related activities.

We also discussed the results of the FCPS engagement survey and appreciate the valuable feedback provided by our school community. Family and staff input helps us identify our strengths and areas for growth. We are excited to celebrate that data show that Little Run families feel their students are welcomed and safe in their learning environment, and we will continue to build upon this foundation.

An area identified for improvement is communication. We are committed to enhancing our communication efforts and will be implementing strategies to ensure that you are informed and engaged throughout the school year. 

The slides from last night’s meeting are posted on our Little Run website. Be sure to access the QR codes embedded in the slides to provide ongoing feedback and to join our action team. Families can also visit the following links:

We are thrilled to share that we are fully staffed for the upcoming school year, with the exception of one Instructional Assistant position. We are eager to welcome our new and returning staff, students, and families.

Thank you again for your support and partnership. We are excited about the upcoming school year and the opportunities to learn and grow together.
