Dear Mighty Red Bird Families,

We hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend filled with relaxation and quality time with loved ones. As we continue settling into the rhythm of the new school year, it's been inspiring to see our students engaging in their learning with enthusiasm. Establishing strong routines has been a key focus, helping our students feel comfortable and confident as they dive in. These routines not only support academic success but also foster a positive environment where every student can thrive.

Building meaningful relationships is at the heart of our school community. We are committed to nurturing connections between students, teachers, and families to create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to guiding each child’s growth, both academically and personally, and we look forward to all the learning and achievements this year will bring.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to make this school year a successful and rewarding experience for all.

Warm Regards,

Ms. Drake, Mrs. Agner, Mrs. Long

🙋 Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!

The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success. Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies.
