Dear Mighty Red Bird Families,
As we get closer to the end of the first quarter, it's amazing to see how much learning has happened in such a short time! Our classrooms have been buzzing with activity, from exciting hands-on projects to lessons that get our students thinking in new ways while building strong foundational skills. We've already seen so much growth, and we hope you're hearing all about it at home. If you haven't had the chance to schedule a parent-teacher conference yet, keep an eye out for details from your child's teacher— these conferences are a valuable opportunity to discuss your child's progress as we move forward into the school year.
We’ve also had some fun events that bring our community closer. Just recently, our first graders visited the West Springfield High School varsity football team and cheerleaders to read with them on the football field. It was an awesome morning where the kids got to enjoy books while meeting some local sports stars. This kind of event shows how we’re building both learning and connections at our school! Read more here.
We look forward to seeing you this Friday at 5:00 for Trunk or Treat and 6:00 for Movie Night on the Blacktop!
Warm Regards,
Ms. Drake, Mrs. Agner, and Mrs. Long

Federal Impact Aid Survey
Please be sure to sign in your SIS ParentVUE account to complete this important survey.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is eligible for federal Impact Aid grants due to the federal presence in our area. The grants from these programs will become part of FCPS' general operating budget. They are critical to ensuring that students receive an excellent education. FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $3,000,000 in Impact Aid funds.
FCPS uses the survey for Federal Impact Aid to identify federally connected students. On October 18th, the survey will be made available to FCPS families. The survey is available online through ParentVue. Families without ParentVUE can request a paper copy of the survey from their child's school. FCPS staff will process the information with the utmost confidentiality.
Trunk or Treat and Movie Night!
 
Lost and Found
Please ask your child to check the Lost and Found for any items they might be missing. Parents and caregivers are also welcome to check the Lost and Found for their child's missing items. All items remaining in the Lost and Found will be donated on November 6.
Attendance Tip:
🗓️ Planning family events or trips? Remember, weekends & school holidays are golden! Keep school absences to a minimum, as 10% missed can lead to chronic absence. Consult the FCPS Calendar for smooth scheduling: https://bit.ly/3RJbauv #AttendTodayAchieveTomorrow #AttendanceMattersVA
