Military Families at Clermont ES were invited to a Meet and Greet (plus ice cream treat!) last night to have an opportunity to find out about the school, and to meet others with shared experiences that are unique to being a military family!
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS
Thank you all for welcoming me so openly to Clermont ES as the new counselor. I am so excited to be working with your children, the teachers, and all of the Clermont families. If you or your child need support or if you have any questions, you can reach me on Talking Points, by email at megreen@fcps.edu, or by phone at 703-921-2400.
Counseling Lessons
Each month, I will be teaching lessons to each classroom on a variety of topics. During the month of September, we will be learning all about School Counseling and how a School Counselor can help. We will also be doing an introduction to Problem-Solving Skills. Please ask your child about when Mrs. Green comes to their classroom and about what they are learning. I will send out updates about what we are learning each month, with some information on what you can do at home to help support that learning.
Are you new to Clermont ES?
The school counselor will be offering short-term new student orientation groups which are open to 1st through 6th grade students. Meetings last for approximately 20-30 minutes and are held once per week.
If you would like for your child to participate, please fill out and submit this form by Monday, September 23, 2024. Please contact the counselor if you have any questions about the group or about the counseling program in general.
 Edison High School invites all families from our pyramid to their football game on October 4th. Before the game, future Edison Eagles will have the opportunity to participate in a fun run across the field. The evening will also include the annual Deck Bowl competition against Lewis High School, to honor Edison's late Coach Deck —a meaningful tradition for the Edison community.

The Boosterthon Fun Run was today! The students did an amazing job, and we have surpassed our $30,000 goal! Thank you so much to everyone who donated! Ms. Salata and Mrs. Younger participated in a unicorn race today, and will be treating the students to karaoke soon!
Regarding prizes: We did such an amazing job fundraising that the Booster team had to restock. Restocked prizes should arrive next week to be delivered by next Friday, September 27th.
