❄️ 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.Â
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.

❄️ Preparativos para el Invierno
El tiempo de invierno llegará pronto. El tiempo de invierno llegará pronto. Mire este video para ver cĂłmo deciden cuándo hay que cerrar las escuelas debido al clima.Â
El sitio web de FCPS es generalmente el primer lugar donde publicaremos cuando haya un cierre de emergencia por el clima. Otros canales de comunicaciĂłn serán usados lo más pronto posible incluyendo correo electrĂłnico, texto, medios sociales, y estaciones de noticias. Aprenda más sobre cĂłmo se comunican los cambios de horario.Â
Asegúrese de planificar para la temporada de invierno. Asegúrese de que su información de contacto esté actualizada en SIS ParentVUE, marque el sitio web de FCPS, y planifique para el cuidado de niños si es apropiado.
Mantenga a Su Hijo Bien Abrigado Durante las Actividades al Aire LibreEstaremos atentos a las bajas temperaturas, los avisos y advertencias de viento helado y los avisos meteorolĂłgicos que pueden impedir que los niños estĂ©n al aire libre. Sin embargo, asegĂşrese de que su hijo estĂ© vestido apropiadamente con un abrigo y otra ropa de clima frĂo para que pueda disfrutar cĂłmodamente de su tiempo al aire libre. El Servicio MeteorolĂłgico Nacional ofrece algunos consejos para mantenerse seguro durante el tiempo frĂo.
Si necesita ayuda para proveer a su hijo de ropa para el clima frĂo, por favor llame a la PlanificaciĂłn de Servicios Coordinados del Condado de Fairfax al 703-222-0880. El personal multilingĂĽe puede ayudarle con cualquier dificultad que se le presente, como la alimentaciĂłn, el alojamiento, el empleo, la asistencia financiera, la atenciĂłn sanitaria y otras necesidades.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener Results Coming Soon
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of October, providing information on their SEL skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are now available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.
Band Parents!
Chantilly Band Day is coming!
When: Jan 29th
Time: 9:00am-1:00pm
Where: Rocky Run Middle School
Who: All 6th grade band students in the Chantilly pyramid are invited.
Staff: FCPS Band teachers in the Chantilly pyramid, including middle and high school teachers and band student volunteers.
Google SIGN UP FORM
Sign your 6th grader before Jan 17th. This is a drop-off event, but you MUST sign up using the link before the event. Students will learn new music, get a free t-shirt and a free pizza lunch is provided. Parents and families are invited to a casual performance from 12:30-1:00pm where students will perform the music they learned that morning. It’s a VERY fulfilling instructional experience for these students and a great use of time on that random Wednesday teacher workday, Jan 29th. PLEASE consider signing-up your 6th grade band student. 6th graders ONLY!
(*this is an optional event* for 6th grade band students only)
PTA Sponsored Indoor Play Dates
Indoor Play Dates are starting soon! These one-hour sessions are a great way to connect and have fun. If you’d like to attend, please use the link to select the times that work best for your family.
Dining Day at MOD Pizza 12/12
Enjoy pizza before this location closes while also supporting the LCES PTA! Keep an eye out for a special appearance from Blizzard the Polar Bear! Be sure to present the flyer that came home with your child to ensure 25% of your purchase goes to LCES PTA.
Fun Fit Fridays Are Back!
We’re excited that Principal Sloan was able to bring back Fun Fit Fridays, but she can’t do it without our help! Volunteers are essential to make this adjusted program a success. Sign up for next Friday or any of the upcoming weeks using this link.
6th Grade Basketball Game
The much-anticipated 6th Grade Basketball Game against Oak Hill is in the works! If you’re interested in joining the planning committee or coaching one of the teams, please email leescornerpta@gmail.com to connect with our committee head.
Family International Night
Mark your calendars—our first Family International Night is happening this spring! We’re looking for a co-chair to help organize this event. Ideally, this would be a parent of a 5th grader or younger, who can continue the tradition next year. This is your chance to create a lasting legacy at LCES! Please reach out to leescornerpta@gmail.com to get started.
 As a reminder, for everyone’s safety, no student should be dropped off or cross Hollinger Avenue to get to or from a vehicle. Nor should cars make a U-turn in front of the school during arrival and dismissal.
