Back-to-School Night is an opportunity for parents to attend an informational session presented by the teacher to learn about the year ahead and the grade level expectations. This event is intended for parents/guardians only.
New this year, each BTSN presentation will be given twice so it occurs during Session A & B on the scheduled night for the grade level. This will provide flexibility for parents needing to attend multiple grade level sessions or multiple sessions within a grade level such as immersion and non-immersion or immersion and local level-IV.

To see the menus, allergens, and nutrition information please visit LINQ Connect. School menus are published monthly, starting one week before the first day of school. Please be sure to change the school name to Colin Powell from the dropdown menu when visiting the site.
We're excited to welcome all students back to school on Monday, August 19! To ease the first-day transition, we have a few reminders:
-
Kindergarten Parents: You are welcome to walk your child to their classroom on the first day.
-
Grades 1-6: To ensure a smooth start, we kindly ask that parents drop off their children at the school entrance.
-
Bus Riders: To establish good routines, we encourage all bus riders to ride the bus starting the first week of school.
-
Kiss & Ride: Families with Kiss & Ride numbers will continue with the number that was previously assigned. Please stop by the Kiss & Ride table during Open House to setup a new Kiss & Ride account or get a replacement Kiss & Ride tag, if needed.
On the first day of school, all parents and guardians are invited to connect with other parents and learn more about our school community during our Annual PTA-sponsored Boo-Hoo Breakfast in the cafeteria at 9:15. Enjoy coffee, conversation, and the opportunity to meet the PTA.
Fairfax County Schools (FCPS) offers the opportunity for nonprofit organizations to make their materials available to students and parents. Each school principal has the option of how they want to distribute to their individual school.
During the 2024-2025 school year, there will be two (2) opportunities for community nonprofit groups (related to children/families and education) to distribute flyers via the Powell Tuesday folders.
