National Bullying Prevention Month October is National Bullying Prevention Month. To help develop a common understanding of Bullying, below is the FCPS definition.
Bullying in Students Rights and Responsibilities is defined as: “Any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma. “Bullying” includes cyberbullying. “Bullying” does not include ordinary teasing, horseplay, argument, or peer conflict.”
For more information on how FCPS handles a bullying situation please visit the FCPS Bullying Prevention and Intervention webpage. Our goal is to ensure all students feel safe and welcome at school. If you have questions and/or concerns about something that is going on at school, please contact the front office so that they can support you and most importantly your student.
Spanish:
Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Acoso “Bullying” Octubre es el Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Acoso "Bullying". Para poder desarrollar un entendimiento común del "Bullying", a continuación se encuentra la definición de FCPS.
El Acoso en los Derechos y Responsabilidades de los Estudiantes se define como: "Cualquier comportamiento agresivo y no deseado que tiene la intención de dañar, intimidar, o humillar a la víctima; involucra un verdadero o percibido desequilibrio de poder entre el agresor o agresores y la víctima; y se repite en el tiempo o causa trauma emocional severo. El "Bullying" incluye el ciberacoso. "Bullying" no incluye burlas ordinarias, payasadas, discusiones o conflictos entre compañeros".
Para más información sobre cómo FCPS maneja una situación de bullying por favor visite la página web de FCPS de Prevención e Intervención de Bullying. Nuestra meta es asegurar que todos los estudiantes se sientan seguros y bienvenidos en la escuela. Si usted tiene preguntas y/o preocupaciones acerca de algo que está sucediendo en la escuela, por favor póngase en contacto con la oficina para que puedan apoyarlo y lo más importante a su estudiante.

FCPS CARES submission:
Mrs. Hitchings has gone above and beyond in teaching all her Kindergarten students. Her loving and compassionate nature has really helped her students successfully transition to a new school environment, along with identifying the individual learning needs of each student. Her enthusiasm in creating weekly newsletters and updates to parents on how their child is doing at school is exceptional. She is always putting her best efforts into teaching her students and involving parents in their child's school life; it really shows through on the newsletters she sends out; sometimes they are even emailed on weekends. Her hard work and dedication deserve much recognition and applause.

Use PickUp Patrol to report absences
In emergencies, email or call the front office
This is a reminder to put your students' absence, arriving late, or leaving school early in Pickup Patrol (PUP). All default plans should be up to date. Make sure you change the default plan anytime you change your students' permanent dismissal. Emails and phone calls are no longer encouraged, except for emergencies. When you enter a change in PUP, it goes directly to your child’s teacher as well as our front office staff. Please remember to provide a reason for the absence, late arrival or early dismissal. Changes must be entered on PUP by 2:30pm each day. If you need assistance setting up your PickUp Patrol account, please reach out to Adriana Barreto at 703-633-6400 or aabarreto@fcps.edu.

Asegúrese de cambiar el plan predeterminado cada vez que cambie el despido permanente de sus estudiantes. Ya no se recomiendan los correos electrónicos ni las llamadas telefónicas, excepto en casos de emergencia. Cuando ingresa un cambio en PUP, se envía directamente al maestro de su hijo y al personal de nuestra oficina principal. Recuerde proporcionar el motivo de la ausencia, llegada tardía o salida anticipada. Los cambios deben ingresarse en PUP antes de las 2:30 p. m. todos los días. Si necesita ayuda para configurar su cuenta PickUp Patrol, comuníquese con Adriana Barreto al 703-633-6400 o aabarreto@fcps.edu.
