Elementary School Language Arts Grading Updates
Our teachers have been hard at work teaching with the new Language Arts curriculum, and we are excited to help all of our students become strong readers and writers! This year we also have new assessments, which is how we check if your student needs extra help with reading and writing, and new Standards of Learning (SOLs).
Because of these changes, we are now teaching all of the Language Arts skills your child needs to know (and checking if they need extra help) throughout the whole school year, instead of different skills each quarter. While these skills will be new to your child in the beginning of the year, the goal is for your child to grow strong in all of their new skills by the end of the year.
This means that when you get your child’s progress report next month, it might look different. Your child’s teacher will give you more information on the new progress reporting and how we’re making sure your child is getting any extra help they might need. You can also find more information on FCPS’ Grading and Reporting webpage.
We will also have new ways for you to help your child practice their reading and writing skills at home. These resources are coming soon!
Actualizaciones de las Calificaciones de Lenguaje para la Escuela Primaria
Nuestros maestros han estado trabajando duro enseñando con el nuevo currículo de Artes del Lenguaje, ¡y estamos emocionados de ayudar a todos nuestros estudiantes a convertirse en fuertes lectores y escritores! Este año también tenemos nuevas evaluaciones, que es como comprobamos si su estudiante necesita ayuda adicional con la lectura y la escritura, y los nuevos Estándares de Aprendizaje (SOLs).
Debido a estos cambios, ahora estamos enseñando todas las habilidades de Artes del Lenguaje que su hijo necesita saber (y comprobar si necesitan ayuda adicional) durante todo el año escolar, en lugar de diferentes habilidades cada trimestre. Aunque estas habilidades serán nuevas para su hijo al principio del año, el objetivo es que su hijo se fortalezca en todas sus nuevas habilidades al final del año.
Esto significa que cuando reciba el informe de progreso de su hijo el mes que viene, puede que tenga un aspecto diferente. El profesor de su hijo le dará más información sobre los nuevos informes de progreso y sobre cómo nos aseguramos de que su hijo reciba la ayuda adicional que pueda necesitar. También puede encontrar más información en la página web de Calificaciones y Reportes de FCPS.
También tendremos nuevas maneras para que usted ayude a su niño a practicar sus habilidades de lectura y escritura en casa. ¡Estos recursos vienen pronto!
Outstanding Employee Awards
We have a fantastic team at Lorton Station and think that their work should be highlighted in a larger forum. Parents can send in a nomination for the Outstanding Employee Awards. Think about a teacher or school leader that has made a positive impact on your family and take a few minutes and email your nomination, name, category, and a letter of support to Mrs. Muller at jemuller@fcps.edu
You can nominate for the following categories:
- Outstanding Teacher
- Outstanding New Teacher
- Outstanding Principal
- Outstanding Leader

The criterion can be found in the attachments. If you aren't sure if the person whom you want to nominate fits the criteria, that's ok. Go ahead and nominate them and coordinator Mrs. Muller will check their eligibility. Deadline to submit a nomination is November 12th. Thank you for considering taking the time to nominate our wonderful staff.

THANKSGIVING LUNCH IS BACK!!
Lorton Station is excited about the return of our Parent-Student Thanksgiving Lunch on November 21st. If you want to join your child for lunch, you can purchase a $5 lunch for the day in the Main Office from 8:00 - 3:30. Lorton Station will sell lunch tickets from October 28th to November 15th. We cannot support the day of purchases to ensure our Food Services staff has time to order and prepare for this special day. We hope to see you on November 21st.
