Ms. Suk helped our kindergarten through second grade artists bring out their creativity and imagination this past week. They enjoyed using art tools to learn how to paint and print making.
A BIG thank you for the parents who were able to attend our Back-to-School Night last week. Our teachers shared information about our new reading curriculum, new math standards as well as grade level Science and Social Studies topics. They also provided information about our behavioral expectations. Staff and students are expected to exhibit respect, responsibility, trust, caring, and hard work. If you were unable to attend, please contact your child’s teacher with any questions you may have. You can also learn more about what your child will be learning by visiting the FCPS Elementary Academics page. In addition, you may want to view the FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan and visit the Strategic Plan webpage for more information. Our plan School Improvement and Innovation Plan (SIIP) is being reviewed now. We will share it once it has been approved.
Hello, my name is Kendall McFarland, and I am the new school social worker. I have been a social worker for 9 years. I enjoy supporting children and families with emotional well-being and accessing community resources. I look forward the supporting the school community in the year ahead!
Hello, my name is Stephanie Barnes. I was raised in Oklahoma and obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma and furthered my education by obtaining an Educational Specialist's degree in School Psychology from the College of William & Mary.
For the past decade I’ve been a dedicated Nationally Certified School Psychologist working within public school districts. My role involved conducting psychological assessments, providing supports and intervention services, collaborating with school staff, families, and community providers, promoting positive behavior and mental health, and supporting diverse learners to improve student outcomes. Additionally, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. In my leisure time I enjoy exploring historical places, attending concerts, plays, comedy shows, volunteering, and engaging in international mission trips during my summer breaks.

Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.
Help your child succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your child stays home if they are sick. Visit FCPS’ website for information on when to keep your child at home.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify their teacher so that support can be provided if needed. Also, keep an open line of communication with your school's public health staff.
Read about how families can help form good attendance habits. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!
¿Cuándo debe quedarse mi hijo en casa?
Ya sea que los estudiantes falten a la escuela por enfermedad como por cualquier otra razón, faltar a la escuela conlleva una pérdida de aprendizaje.
Ayude a su hijo a tener éxito animándole a faltar el menor número de días posible. Sin embargo, asegúrese de que su hijo se quede en casa si está enfermo. ¿Cuándo debe su hijo quedarse en casa? Visite nuestra página web para obtener ideas útiles sobre las ausencias y sobre cómo colaborar con su hijo y con el colegio.
Si su hijo tiene una enfermedad crónica, asegúrese de notificar a su maestro para que se le pueda proporcionar asistencia si la necesita. Mantenga una línea de comunicación abierta con la enfermera de salud pública de su escuela, y llame a la escuela tan pronto como sepa que su hijo va a estar ausente e informe al personal de la escuela por qué y por cuánto tiempo. ¡Asista hoy, logre mañana!
