The cost of lunch for all guests is $4.75. You MUST use your student's lunch number to buy Thanksgiving Lunch. We will not accept cash/check on the day of Thanksgiving lunch.

This month reminds us that families are children's first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers. Strong family support is vital to student well-being and success.
FCPS has many resources designed to increase engagement and partnerships with families while fostering academic success and social-emotional growth.
Additionally, every school has a family liaison who will welcome and orient families, and help them understand the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices. They can help connect families to resources in the community. Family liaisons might also assist a family in transitioning to a new school and encourage family-school partnerships to help ensure their student's success and healthy development.
If you have questions or would like more information, ask your school office to connect you with your family liaison or visit FCPS’ website for a list of region representatives.
Durante este mes recordamos que las familias son los primeros y más importantes maestros, defensores y cuidadores de los niños. El apoyo fuerte de la familia es vital para el bienestar y éxito del estudiante.
FCPS tiene muchos recursos diseñados para aumentar la participación y las asociaciones con las familias mientras se fomenta el éxito académico y el crecimiento socio-emocional.
Además, cada escuela tiene un enlace familiar que dará la bienvenida y orientará a las familias, y les ayudará a entender la cultura, las políticas, los procedimientos y las prácticas de la escuela. Pueden ayudar a poner en contacto a las familias con los recursos de la comunidad. Los enlaces familiares también pueden ayudar a las familias en la transición a una nueva escuela y fomentar la colaboración entre la familia y la escuela para garantizar el éxito y el desarrollo saludable de los estudiantes.Si tiene preguntas o desea más información, pida a la oficina de su escuela que lo ponga en contacto con su enlace familiar o visite el sitio web de FCPS para obtener una lista de los representantes de la región.
이달은 가족이 아이들의 첫 번째이자 가장 중요한 교사, 지지자, 양육자라는 사실을 되새겨 주는 달입니다. 가족의 강력한 지원은 학생의 안녕과 성공의 필수적입니다.
FCPS는 학업적 성공과 사회적 정서적 성장을 촉진하는 동시에 가족과의 참여와 파트너십을 높이기 위해 고안된 많은 자원을 가지고 있습니다.
또한 모든 학교에는 가족을 환영하고 방향성을 제시하며 학교의 문화, 정책, 절차, 관행을 이해하도록 도와주는 패밀리 리에종:가족 연락 담당자가 있습니다. 가족 연락 담당자는 가족을 지역사회의 자원과 연결하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 또한 가족 연락 담당자는 가족이 새 학교로 전학해 온 학생의 성공과 건강한 발달을 보장하기 위해 가족-학교 파트너십을 지원합니다.
질문이 있거나 자세한 정보를 원하시면, 학교 사무실에 가족 연락 담당자와 연결해 달라고 요청하거나 FCPS 웹사이트를 방문하여 지역 담당자 리스트를 확인하십시오.

Use PickUp Patrol to report absences
In emergencies, email or call the front office
This is a reminder to put your students' absence, arriving late, or leaving school early in Pickup Patrol (PUP). All default plans should be up to date. Make sure you change the default plan anytime you change your students' permanent dismissal. Emails and phone calls are no longer encouraged, except for emergencies. When you enter a change in PUP, it goes directly to your child’s teacher as well as our front office staff. Please remember to provide a reason for the absence, late arrival or early dismissal. Changes must be entered on PUP by 2:30pm each day. If you need assistance setting up your PickUp Patrol account, please reach out to the front office at 703-633-6400 or GreenbriarEastOfficeParentContact@fcps.edu.
Este es un recordatorio para poner la ausencia de sus estudiantes, llegar tarde o salir temprano de la escuela en Pickup Patrol (PUP). Todos los planes predeterminados deben estar actualizados. Asegúrese de cambiar el plan predeterminado cada vez que cambie el despido permanente de sus estudiantes. Ya no se recomiendan los correos electrónicos ni las llamadas telefónicas, excepto en casos de emergencia. Cuando ingresa un cambio en PUP, se envía directamente al maestro de su hijo y al personal de nuestra oficina principal. Recuerde proporcionar el motivo de la ausencia, llegada tardía o salida anticipada. Los cambios deben ingresarse en PUP antes de las 2:30 p. m. todos los días. Si necesita ayuda para configurar su cuenta PickUp Patrol, comuníquese con el oficina principal al 703-633-6400 o GreenbriarEastOfficeParentContact@fcps.edu.
