Principal Message
Good afternoon Roadrunners,
It was an exciting week as we welcomed our Pre-K students and parents for Back to School Night. It was a week filled with achievement and joy as parents spoke with staff about the curriculum, standards, and expectations for their child this school year. After nine days, I am excited about who we are as a community and school. Our newest roadrunners are jumping into the routine of school and loving their life as roadrunners.
Please join us on Sept 10th from 6 - 8 PM as we conduct the first of three Academic Nights at Lorton Station for K-6 parents. At the event, we will review the new Benchmark Advanced Curriculum that FCPS has adopted for use in the classroom. We will also review the latest math standards that Virginia adopted this year. It will be an exciting time to see How we are teaching your child, What we are using, and How you can support them at home. We will also share information on the AAP (Advanced Academic Program) at Lorton Station from our AART Ms. Slye. We hope to see you there!!
Your proud principals,
Francis Legagneur, Dawn Champion, Karyn Kayes, Myron Barton
Early Release Monday
The Early Release Mondays planned throughout the school year for elementary schools are essential to allow educators time for planning and professional development. Students will be dismissed 3 hours early seven times throughout the school year and are encouraged to return home via their normal route. However, we understand there may be a childcare hardship because of the early release Mondays for many of our families. To resolve these concerns, student supervision will be available for families who need it.
The following dates are planned for Early Release Mondays throughout the school year:
- September 16
- October 21
- November 18
- February 10
- March 10
- April 21
- May 12
To help plan for our school’s childcare needs during the early release Mondays, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/ras3TxVdNNNXn2Mx9 for each of your children who are enrolled at Lorton Station Elementary. The form covers the first two early release Mondays, scheduled for September 16, 2024 and October 21, 2024. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms. Staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student.
2024 Student Rights and Responsibilities
FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. Read Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid’s letter to families regarding the SR&R.
Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your child’s school by Monday, September 30.
You can submit questions online regarding the SR&R.
2024 Derechos y Responsabilidades de los Estudiantes
El folleto de Derechos y Responsabilidades del Estudiante (SR&R) de FCPS explica las expectativas para el comportamiento del estudiante y las respuestas de los adultos para mejorar la seguridad escolar y crear un ambiente escolar justo, equitativo y de apoyo. Lea la carta de la Superintendente Dra. Michelle Reid a las familias sobre el SR&R.
Los padres/cuidadores deben hablar con sus hijos sobre las expectativas para este año escolar. También, por favor ingrese á SIS ParentVUE y firme para confirmar su revisión del SR&R, o firme y devuelva la hoja de firma que se encuentran en la página 3 del folleto de SR&R a la escuela de su hijo antes del Lunes, 30 de Septiembre.
