Our students created a gratitude tree where they placed mittens to express for the things which they are thankful and appreciative.
Wishing you a joyous holiday season filled with warmth, love, and laughter. Thank you for your dedication and support throughout the year; may your time off be filled with cherished moments with loved ones.
We look forward to seeing you all refreshed and ready for new learning adventures on January 6, 2025!
Attending school regularly is a habit that leads to school success. Set the expectation that your child should get to school on time every day. The habit will carry through elementary, middle, and high school years and into adult life. Below are some tips that can help your child have to a successful school year.
- Help your child establish and maintain routines.
- Ensure that your child gets enough sleep.
- Send your child to school unless they are sick.
- Schedule medical appointments outside of school hours.
- Avoid long trips/vacations when school is in session.
- Help your child set out clothes and backpacks the night before.
- Check homework each night.
- Develop a back-up for getting to school if your child misses the bus or you cannot provide transportation.
As a friendly reminder, student pictures are still available for ordering by scanning the code below.
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.

Boundary Review Community Meetings provide a great opportunity for families, staff, and community members to share their thoughts and questions, and learn more about the boundary review process. The schedule of remaining meetings is below:.

Services for Hearing-Impaired and Visually-Impaired Students
Students with sensory disabilities require specialized services and support to access instruction that is typically presented visually and auditorily (by means of hearing). FCPS provides educational services to students who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or visually impaired. They are supported in various settings, including at their school or through itinerant specialists who travel to different schools to work with students, rather than being based in a single school. Learn more about Services for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and Services for Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired.
Visit the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) website for Resources for Serving Students with Sensory Disabilities.
