We are especially grateful to our PTA for organizing an AMAzing Movie Night this past Friday. It was so wonderful to see our many families come together for a fun and memorable evening.
This Wednesday, November 20, we are excited to host our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon for Families. Be sure to check in at the front office to join your child for a special meal. It’s always a highlight of the season, and we can’t wait to see you there!
Additionally, Parents of 1st and 2nd graders don’t miss our Musical Showcase this Friday, November 22, featuring our talented 1st and 2nd graders. It’s a performance you won’t want to miss!

By enrolling in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) course or program, students learn the technical applications of many occupations while preparing for higher education or entry-level employment. A core program of CTE courses is offered in every middle and high school. Based on the needs of the populations served, each school determines optional courses to be offered. Learn more about Academies and Specialized Programs.
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.
