Monday, December 9th is our third Early Release Monday. Students will be dismissed as they were for October's Early Release Monday. Any change in dismissal procedures REQUIRES principal approval by Wednesday, Dec. 4th. Please email Mr.Pietzman (djpietzman@fcps.edu) or call the front office (703-633-6400) to make any dismissal changes.
Please keep in mind, if you are picking up your child early that day, cut off time is 12:30pm or pick up after dismissal at 1:30pm. No pickups between 12:30pm to 1:30pm.
Missed our Fall Picture Day or want a retake?
We are doing retakes THIS THURSDAY, December 5th, 2024!
Any student wishing to have a retake should bring their original photo package to exchange for the retake image.
For families ordering a package, parents/guardians will receive a camera pass via email, after purchase is complete. This can be printed and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student. No worries, if you can't get it printed.
When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" of their picture that was taken on picture day. All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints.

This year’s theme, “Every Voice Matters,” echoes the fundamental belief that every individual has a unique perspective and contributes to the rich tapestry of our school communities.
Throughout the week, we’ll honor the diverse backgrounds and experiences of students, educators, and families. From classroom activities to school and community events, we’ll highlight the importance of fostering inclusive environments where every voice is heard, valued, and respected.

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.
