Safety Drills During the School Year
Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for FCPS. Each school has an emergency preparedness plan to respond to incidents such as fires and tornadoes. Schools are required by state law to practice emergency drills, including lockdown drills, each year. Schools are also required to notify parents and guardians at least 24 hours before a school conducts a lockdown drill. However, schools are not required to give the specific date and time of the drill in advance.
The first lockdown drill of the school year must take place within the first 20 days of school. Preschool and kindergarten students are exempt from practicing the first lockdown drill.
Your child may come home and talk about their experience during the drill. We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of being prepared for emergencies. Please review these frequently asked questions to support your students before and after school lockdown drills.
Know Our Security Terms
FCPS uses specific terminology to describe the actions school staff and students should take to ensure safety in a variety of situations. It is important for staff, families, and students to understand what the different terms mean and how they impact school operations.
Watch this video to learn about safety terms including lockdown; secure the building; and stay put, stay tuned. If students, staff, or community members have a safety concern at school (that is not an immediate emergency), they should submit a tip to the FCPS Safety Tipline. In an emergency, please call 9-1-1.
Weekend Food Program
Mrs. Buesing (school counselor) needs volunteers to retrieve food bags from Reston. Pickup is biweekly on Wednesdays between 10:30-11:00am at the below location. Volunteers need to have enough space in their vehicle for 12 rectangular 66-quart plastic storage bins (each bin contains 10 grocery bags full of nonperishable items). Reach out to Mrs. Buesing with any questions (kabuesing@fcps.edu).
Pickup location:
Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation
1441 Wiehle Ave., Reston, VA
Sign Up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090949ABA62CA0FA7-food#/
Attendance Matters!
Please take a moment to review the FCPS calendar and plan accordingly. Your child's attendance is vital for their academic progress.
While we understand the importance of family vacations, we kindly request that you plan your trips around our school schedule. Thank you for your cooperation!
Any student absent for 18 or more days will be considered chronically absent. Read more about FCPS Attendance expectations here.

September 11 National Day of Service
|
With the upcoming 23rd anniversary of September 11, FCPS acknowledges the loss of life, the heroism of our first responders, and the resilience of our country. The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, also called Patriot Day, is a chance to reflect and act in service to others to honor those who were injured or killed in the terrorist attacks.
All FCPS students are encouraged to participate in service learning as it supports Portrait of a Graduate (POG) attributes and social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. Middle and high school students can learn more about service learning by logging into their Naviance account.

Lightspeed Parent Report on Child's Device Activity
Action Needed: Limited Early Release Mondays
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 23, October 28, December 9, February 24, March 17, April 28 and May 19
To help plan for our school’s child care needs during the early release Mondays, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/4XSfVCSWgtwt4p9k7 for each of your children who are enrolled at Cub Run Elementary. The form covers the first two early release Mondays, scheduled for September 23, 2024 and October 28, 2024. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms. Staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student. Please submit this form by September 3, 2024.
For additional information, FCPS has created this webpage that provides further detail about the early release Mondays.
Afternoon Kiss & Ride/Car Riders
Families, please be sure that your KNR number is clearly displayed on your rearview mirror the entire time that you are in the school parking lot. It is important for management of our dismissal board that staff be able to see your KNR number clearly and easily as you both enter and leave the parking lot. If you are unable to hang your number from your rearview mirror, please contact the front office and we will get you a new one.
Please stay in your vehicle at all times. If your child needs help opening a car door, our staff is happy to help them from the sidewalk.
Walkers
If your child is a walker, please be sure you are staying on the sidewalks as you leave school grounds. Families should not be crossing through the parking lot while Kiss N Ride is active.
