🛑 No U-Turns & Slow Down!

U-Turns on Reservation Dr. are both illegal and very, very dangerous.  We continue to get reports of cars making these illegal U-Turns.  The safety of our school community is compromised every time someone does this. Please take the time to use Kiss-n-Ride and/or find another route to get back up to the Parkway.

Follow all posted Speed Limit signs. Going slowly by the school helps to ensure student, staff, and parent safety as everyone is coming and going. The crossing guard is there to help with the flow of traffic and guarantee all can cross safely. Follow all directions given by the police officer posted at the intersection.

Thank you!

đź“‹ Check-Ins

Please remember, if your child arrives after 9:10AM, you must escort them into the main office and sign them in.

Students are not admitted into the building until 8:45AM, for breakfast or 8:55AM to go to class. Unless, you have something prearranged with a teacher, your child attends SACC or a before-school club, please do not drop your student off at school any earlier, there will be no adult supervision available. 

Please remember to email or call the attendance line with any messages regarding your student's attendance. Absences and late arrivals should be reported to avoid getting a robo-call from FCPS. If you email the teacher to let them know about your student's attendance, please copy SangsterElem.Attendance@fcps.edu to ensure your message reaches our attendance staff. You can also call, 703-644-8282 to report any attendance messages. 

đź‘•Lost and Found

All lost and found items will be outside the school from 7:45am – 6:30pm September 23rd through September 27th. Please stop by and find your student’s missing items. Any items not picked up by the 27th will be collected and donated.

We will be donating all lost and found items on a regular basis. The lost and found pile often gets overwhelming and needs to be cleared out regularly. Please help us return lost items by labeling water bottles, lunch boxes, coats, hats, etc. with your student’s name. Thank you for your cooperation!
