 Clermont students dressed to impress for Book Character Day!
 Reminder: Today, Thursday, October 31, is the last day of the first quarter, and a two-hour early release for students.
There will be no school tomorrow, Friday, November 1, which is a holiday this year for Diwali, Dia de los Muertos and All Saints Day.
Next week, schools are closed on Monday, and Tuesday, November 4-5, for voting, school planning, and teacher workdays. The Clermont office will be closed on Tuesday, November 5.
School will resume on Wednesday, November 6th.
 This Sunday, November 3, at 2 a.m., daylight saving time ends. Don’t forget to move your clocks back one hour!
As a gentle reminder, when visiting the school for events and during arrival/ dismissal, please do not park in front of our neighbor's driveways. Blocking driveways is not only unneighborly, it is also a safety hazard. Please be kind to our Clermont neighbors!
 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, Veterans, 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.

Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets (in the upper right corner after logging in). Please complete it as soon as possible.
For any families who have not completed the survey in ParentVUE, we will provide paper forms starting Wednesday, November 13. Paper forms should be returned by Wednesday, December 4.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. Information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
