 Welcome Back Clermont Students!
Dear Clermont Families,
What an incredible first week of school! The excitement for the return to school was felt by all, and it was clear that everyone was thrilled to check out their new classrooms and get to know their teachers. It was especially wonderful to meet so many new students from all over the world!
Thank you for entrusting your children to us. We are committed to providing them with a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where they can thrive every day. We look forward to seeing you at Back to School Night next week. If there is anything Mrs. Younger or I can do to support your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
Ms. Salata, Principal
 Get to know the Specialists who will be teaching your children this year by viewing their video slideshow here!
FCPS will have seven (7) early release Mondays throughout the year. Clermont will dismiss at 12:50 pm on these days. Although students are encouraged to return home via their normal route, we understand there may be a childcare hardship for some families. To resolve these concerns, student supervision will be available for families who need it.
To help plan for our school’s childcare needs during the early release Mondays, we would like ALL Clermont families to complete this form for the first two early release Mondays on September 16 and October 21. (If you have multiple children enrolled at Clermont, please submit separate forms for each of them.) Our staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student.
Thank you to the families who have already responded! For more information regarding the early release days please visit this site: Early Release Mondays Website. Thank you for your help and understanding as we navigate this new FCPS initiative.
Back to School Night will take place on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
Session 1 6:00 pm
Session 2 6:50 pm
There are two sessions to accommodate parents with multiple children. Teachers will email additional details closer to the date of the event.
Note: this event is intended for parents/guardians only. Childcare is not provided.
What is Girls on the Run (GOTR)?
GOTR is a positive youth development program for elementary school
students starting in grade 3. Participants will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity, and learn important lessons to last a lifetime! GOTR ends the season with a celebratory 5K event - open to friends and family! The program will run from September 23 - November 24.
Register Online:
For fees, program information, and to register, visit www.gotrnova.org by September 17th. (Reduced rates are available for students who receive free and reduced lunch. Discounts available for multiple siblings and military families!)

Thank you for your patience as we all get used to new routines this school year. We appreciate our families following Kiss and Ride procedures and being patient while waiting for your children’s buses.
If a student’s bus is delayed, parents may access the Bus Delay Notification System or use the Here Comes the Bus mobile app to receive the delayed bus report. Contact the Transportation Office at (703) 446-2150 with any additional questions. For any concerns after 5:30 p.m., contact Safety and Security at (571) 423-2000.
To make sure you receive email messages about bus delays, update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE.
Want to know if your child's bus is on schedule or where the bus is? Here Comes the Bus® is an easy-to-use website and app that enables parents to see the location of their child’s school bus — almost in real time — on a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.
Parents can track multiple buses if their children don’t all ride the same bus; know exactly when children arrive at school or the bus stop; and receive customized text and/or email notifications about bus locations, schedule changes, or delays.
To get started, download the app from the Apple iOS or Android app store. Check out the Here Comes the Bus webpage for more information. (The FCPS school district code is 28982.)
Already using the Here Comes the Bus app? Send your feedback or questions to HCTB@fcps.edu.
FCPS has tools to help parents know more about their child’s activity on any FCPS device. These tools are provided at no cost to families by Lightspeed, the school division’s internet content filtering service.
Parents may sign up for a weekly Parent Report, which will provide a list of the top sites your child visited. The report also offers parents the ability to sign up for free access to the Internet Use Parent Portal. Through the portal, parents may pause their child’s access to the internet on their FCPS device during non-school hours.
