Dear Beech Tree Families,
After a very rainy start, we are welcoming the sunshine in October. We kicked off our first Family Field Trip of the 24-25 SY to the National Zoo on Saturday, September 28th. The rain stayed away long enough for us to enjoy time together outdoors. On Wednesday, October 2nd, we celebrated National Custodian Appreciation Day. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our exceptional custodial team—Maria Navarro, Armando Sanchez, Ada Rivera Castro, and Daniel DeGracia—for their hard work in keeping our school clean and safe for everyone.
Wednesday we also had the pleasure of coming together for a School-wide Closing Circle assembly. It was a great opportunity for staff and students to celebrate our unity as a community. We sang, cheered, and participated in activities designed to promote reflection and celebration.
Looking ahead, please take note of the following important events on our calendar:
- PTA Book Fair
- PTA Meeting
- Staff Development Day (No School)
- Monday 3-Hour Early Release for students
- AAP Parent Meeting
- Fall Student Picture Day
As a reminder, we will wrap up the first quarter of the 2024-2025 school year with a two-hour early release at 2:00 p.m.
We look forward to an exciting and productive month ahead.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community!
Taiia Clarke

FCPS is adopting Social Studies Basal Resources for the 2025-26 school year. Basal resources are the primary resources used to support instruction in a given subject. Public review of the instructional materials under consideration — which is part of the process for selecting new resources — is underway. Visit the Community Review webpage for more information on how to view the materials online or in person.
All community feedback will be shared with School Board members before they vote to select materials in spring 2025. FCPS adopts basal resources by the process outlined in Regulation 3004.
