 Thank you to all our parents, grandparents, and community members who participated in our Veterans' Day Recognition. We had an amazing turnout and loved sharing our students and classes with you! Our 5th grade chorus and members of our 6th grade band even had the opportunity to perform for our guests. Avery Straw joined the Lemon Road PTA meeting Thursday night to share the referral process for full-time AAP services.
Gentle reminder that our next Three Hour Early Release is December 9th. This date is a change from the original published date in November. We will share a google link for parents to share their childcare needs for the remainder of the early release dates soon.
As we are approaching the busy holiday season, we want to take a moment to remind you about the importance of student attendance at school. We are continuing to work as a school team to improve our attendance and need your help. As you plan for family trips, please reference the FCPS Calendar to ensure your child is not missing out on their learning opportunities at school.
- Order you child's individual or class photos! Retake photos through Victor O'Neill are scheduled for Tuesday, November 19. Email your child's teacher to let them know you would like a photo retake.
- Parent referrals for full-time placement in Advanced Academic Programs are due via email to akstraw@fcps.edu by December 15, 2024. You can find forms here or read more about AAP here.
- All parents/guardians/visitors must bring and scan a government-issued photo ID each time they visit school.
-
Prepare for Meals at School: Check out the breakfast and lunch menu!
- Have your child log into Clever from Lemon Road Student Links and access both Lexia and ST Math from home.
Book Fair Volunteers Needed This Week!
The students are so excited that Book Fair has started! Each class will have the opportunity to purchase books one day this week during the school day. The book fair will also be open Thursday evening during Family Night. We still need volunteers, especially on Thursday. Please sign up if you can help. Any questions, contact Gabby Burke goburke@fcps.edu. Thank you for your support!
Join Lemon Road staff Thursday from 5:30 - 7:00 PM for Family Night. The PTA will offer complimentary cider & donuts while supplies last, the Book Fair will be open for sales, staff will have stations of math games and literacy activities set up, and pizza & concessions will be for sale. This event is for all Lemon Road families!
Thank you to all who attended the General Meeting this week - the slide deck is available to all members to review on MemberHub.
- Eat out to help out! Get your lunch or dinner at the Silver Diner on November 20th and help raise money for the PTA - just remember to mention Lemon Road when ordering!
