Hello, Scottie families!
Thank you to those families who were able to make it out to our camping themed math & literacy night on Wednesday. We had a great turnout, filled with lots of laughter and learning. Thank you as well to our Scottie staff for organizing this fun community event!
Next week on Friday from 8:30-9:20 AM we have our November parent coffee, where parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to hear from FCPS central office literacy leadership on the new Benchmark basal resource. We hope you can join us!
Friday, November 22 is also our next SCA Spirit Day - Hat Day! Students and staff are encouraged to wear hats (see guidelines in the section below), or, as always, wear Bonnie Brae spirit wear/colors of blue and white!
Enjoy the weekend with your family and friends.
