#OneTeamOneDream❤️
A kaleidoscope of colors and smiles! Our students are making a statement about the importance of diversity and acceptance.
Our cafeteria transformed into a stage today as students and staff celebrated Inclusive Schools Week with a vibrant karaoke session. Using a variety of communication tools, everyone had the opportunity to express themselves and share their voices.
Our preschoolers were mesmerized by the W.T. Woodson Wind Ensemble's holiday performance at the Tiny Tots concert. They loved listening to the different songs and meeting the Disney and Holiday characters!
A Message from the Admin Team
Dear Parents,
Another amazing week has come to a close at Little Run! We want to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and partnership in making our school community thrive.
We would like to extend a special thank you to our dedicated PTA for hosting an outstanding Bingo Night event. The community came together for a fantastic evening filled with fun, laughter, and camaraderie. We are grateful to Weyni Tesfaye of Adwa Ethiopian Food Truck for providing a delicious menu that satisfied everyone's hunger.
This week at Little Run has been filled with so many exciting activities! To honor Inclusive Schools Week, students showcased their karaoke talents and presented on the news show. Additional fun classroom activities were used to celebrate our school community. It has been a truly wonderful time. We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for embracing diversity and creating a welcoming environment for all.
As we look ahead to next week, we are excited to celebrate the musical talents of our students in band and strings. We also have another House Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, December 10th. Be sure to wear your house colors.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Christie Yarn
Principal

Cell Phone Feedback Opportuinty
Student Feedback Opportunity for FCPS Cell Phone Policy and SR&R
FCPS is working with K12 Insight to host a community forum for families, staff members, and students to provide feedback on the school division’s cell phone policies and practices, and the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) document. FCPS is looking for more student participants (grades 3-12) to help ensure diverse perspectives from our community.
The community forum will be held on Tuesday, December 10, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Willow Oaks Administrative Center. If your student is interested in providing feedback, please visit the Cell Phone Policy Forum registration page to learn more. Families must register their child by Monday, November 25.
Full-Time Referral Window Closing December 15
Families of students in grades 2-6 who would like their student screened for full-time AAP placement must submit a referral no later than December 15th. You can find forms here or read more about AAP here. No referrals can be accepted after the window closes. Please reach out to Jennifer Hitchcock, AART, with any questions at JRHitchcock1@fcps.edu.
Winter Weather
❄️ 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.

Middle School Start Time Study
⏰ Update on Potential Changes to Middle School Start Times
At Tuesday’s School Board work session, staff from Prismatic Services, Inc., presented options for adjusting start times at FCPS middle schools. As a reminder, Prismatic is charged with developing an action plan to help the School Board reach its goal of starting middle school at or after 8 a.m.
The presentation includes five options for adjusting middle school start times based on the consultant’s analysis from community forums, surveys, and interviews with staff, parents, associations, and other groups. The School Board will provide next steps to the superintendent.
Watch a video of the work session. Visit the Middle School Start Times webpage for more information on the project.
