Principal Message
Good afternoon Roadrunner families,
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for being part of such an incredible community. It’s truly a privilege to work alongside our amazing teachers and students in such an outstanding school.
This holiday season, we encourage our families and students to take a well-deserved break from school and technology. Teachers have been asked not to schedule any major assessments for December 2 and 3. This practice reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting balance and well-being during holidays and breaks.
We hope this intentional pause allows everyone to relax, decompress, and enjoy meaningful time with loved ones. Breaks are vital for both children and adults to recharge and maintain a healthy balance between school and personal life.
I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday and that you get time to spend with loved ones.
Your Principals,
Dr. Legagneur, Mr. Barton, Ms. Champion, Ms. Kayes
 Sights and from Thanksgiving Lunch!!!
FLE Curriculum Parent Preview Meeting
Each year, FCPS schools are required to offer a meeting with parents to demonstrate how to access the Family Life Education curricular materials that will be used at each grade level. There will also be a teacher representative from each grade level in the meeting, in case parents have questions about specific grade-level topics.
Lorton Station’s parent preview meeting will be on Monday, November 25, 2024. It will be a virtual meeting, accessible at this link: Join Zoom Meeting
Parents who are unable to attend can still access the FLE curriculum materials, opt-out forms, and other materials on Schoology. The materials are posted in the All Parents/Guardians folder, accessible here: All Parents/Guardians Course
Social and Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon
One of the ways FCPS supports the mental wellness of all students is through the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. In October, students in grades 3-12 took this screener, which gives information about their skills such as achieving goals, handling emotions, building relationships with adults and peers, and making good choices.
The screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. Screener data is used to create learning, experiences, and environments for students to succeed.
In early December, families will be able to view student SEL Screener results in SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent by mail.
Learn more about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For help understanding your child’s results or ideas to support them at home, review the Family Guide or contact your child’s school.
Preparing for Winter Weather
Winter weather will be here before you know it! Watch this video to see how weather-related closing decisions are made.
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be sure to plan for the winter season. Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE, bookmark the FCPS website, and arrange for childcare if needed.
Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities
We will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories which may prevent children from being outside. Make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. See the National Weather Service’s tips on staying safe during cold weather.
If you need assistance supplying your child with cold-weather clothing, please call Fairfax County's Coordinated Services Planning at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and health care.
