Attendance Matters

Yesterday we acknowledged those students with perfect attendance during the First Quarter of school! They celebrated with a special treat.

While we do not want sick children at school, we want to remind our families that all absences count and full day attendance will help your child reach their learning goals.

Find out more about FCPS' health policy  here and make every day count!
