 We are proud to announce that the Virginia Council on the Educational Opportunity for Military Children has approved Clermont Elementary School as a recipient of the SY 2024-2025 “Purple Star Award”, which is our 3rd time receiving this honorable designation! The Virginia Purple Star Designation is awarded to military-friendly schools that have demonstrated a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military.
 Book Character Dress-up Day is Thursday, October 31st. On this day, students can wear a costume that represents a book character. If the student has access to the book the character is from, we ask that they bring the book with them to school. Please no fake weapons or masks.
 Please bring non-perishable food items to school to donate to families in need in our community from November 6th - 25th. All donations will help support the Koinonia Foundation in Alexandria, Virginia. Please drop off items in the box in the front lobby.
For more information, contact Mrs. Green at megreen@fcps.edu.
During the year, some of our families find they need assistance with food, clothing, or other items. There are several community services available to provide help. If your family needs support please return this form. Our school counselor, Mrs. Green, will contact you with information about getting assistance. Additionally, many families have already reached out to express an interest in supporting families in our Clermont community. If you are looking for ways to help please read and submit this form to see how you can show you CARE by supporting families in our community.
Please email Mrs. Green if you have questions or concerns.
 All Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, and Retired Service members, please join us for breakfast to honor you!
When: Friday, November 8, 2024
Where: Clermont Elementary School Cafeteria
When: Start Time 9:30 am (please arrive around 9:15 am)
Note: Your Clermont student is invited to come from their classroom to join you for this special event!
Afterwards (around 10 am), we’re hoping you will join classrooms to share a little bit about military life. One of our goals is to provide an opportunity for students to thank Veterans and understand why we celebrate Veterans’ Day while creating meaningful interactions for students and veterans. Another goal is to expose our students to what life as an active service member might look like.
