A Message from the Principal

Welcome to the first issue of the weekly "Bobcat Beat"!

As we welcome the students back to school, we wanted share some arrival and departure reminders for a smooth start and end to the school day. 

Bus arrivals-All buses will pick up and drop off around the bus loop.  FCPS has an app for buses that are running late. "Here come the Bus" App

For the first week or two, I would anticipate some later bus drop offs. 

Kiss and Ride (Car Riders)-Parent who drop off need to enter the parking lot and take an immediate left, following the kiss and ride signs.  Each day, school staff will open car doors and greet your children.  Please do not have your child exit the vehicle without our school staff assisting.

Walker-All walkers will exit the building and immediately head home.  Students are not allowed to stay in the school grounds after school without parental supervision. 

Kindergarten parents may walk students to class on the first day of school and through Wednesday, August 21st. 

As a reminder, there is no student drop off on Fort Hunt Rd. and during arrival and dismissal, there is not left turn out of the parking  lot.
