Hello, Dolphin Families
As we wrap up the first twenty days of school, we want to take a moment and reflect on the importance of this period of time. These first weeks are crucial for establishing routines, building relationships, and setting the tone for the rest of the year. We've seen great progress and enthusiasm from our Dolphins and appreciate your support in making this a successful start.
We are so excited for this weekend's festivities and hope you will join us for the South Lakes High School Homecoming parade and football game. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to come together for our community and support the Seahawks! We look forward to seeing you there in your Dolphin gear!
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Every school day counts!
Mrs. Jill D. Stewart, Principal
Ms. Melanie N. Porter, Assistant Principal

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!
 
Please join the South Lakes High School PTSA on September 29 from 2:00-4:00 pm for their 7th Annual food pantry FUNdraiser. It is the ONLY one they will do this school year! Your Way 0.5k!
The SLHS PTSA Food Pantry started in April of 2017 to address food insecurity in the SLHS Pyramid. In our pyramid 2,949 students, or almost 38%, qualify for free and reduced lunch. The SLHS PTSA Food Pantry has been able to provide programs for student shopping, curbside pick-up, and Bags for Langston Hughes. The latter is a beloved program where students in the Work, Awareness, and Transition (WAT) program at SLHA pack up 35-50 bags of food and bring them to Langston Hughes Middle School for students identified by the Langston MS team. The WAT students love doing this because they get to go back to the middle school and say hel thelo to their former teachers along the way
We hope to see you out on the plaza, September 29th, for 650-step FUNdraiser! Don't forget to start training!
Students will have more than a dozen new options for lunch and breakfast in school cafeterias starting this week. New menu items were either favorites at last year’s food show — including Korean BBQ wings, sweet Thai chili wings, chicken tikka masala, and barbacoa street tacos — or were tested with student focus groups and tastings.
View our school menu to see all the new options and when they will become available.
 
We understand that the multiple school forms caregivers receive during the first weeks of school can feel overwhelming, but each one helps set your child up for a successful school year! If you do not have a SIS ParentVUE account, please contact the front office for an activation code and follow the directions on the SIS ParentVUE Account webpage.
Please check with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school.
You may check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to [SCHOOL NAME] front office.
Alternative immunization documents (below) may also be provided, but they may not be uploaded in ParentVUE:
- A healthcare provider’s written statement specifying all administered immunizations.
- A healthcare provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption.
- A notarized Religious Exemption form objecting to the administration of immunizations due to conflicts with religious tenets or practices.
Find more information on immunizations.
Families can easily grant permission for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. Parents can opt their child in or out of resources including online educational tools, school counseling services, and tutoring services. They can also change how student information is managed.Visit the Parent Digital Consent webpage to access the system. See how to use the tool.
Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R)
The SR&R document explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses. Parents using SIS ParentVUE will be prompted to sign the document when logging in to that platform. A printable version of the document with a signature sheet is available on the SR&R webpage. This form should be signed and returned by Monday, September 30.
This week, which Lake Anne Elementary staff member(s) did you see making a SPLASH doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way?! Please help us in recognizing their outstanding contributions by submitting an FCPS CARES for them.
