Dear Clermont Families,
Winter Break is here! On behalf of all the staff at CES, I want to extend our best wishes for a joyful and relaxing winter break, as well as wishes for a peaceful transition into the New Year. May your break be filled with making great memories with your families and friends.
In order for our staff to rejuvenate and spend quality time with their families, I am asking them to disconnect from email over the Winter Break. Staff will be back online Monday, January 6. Wishing you a safe and happy break and we look forward to welcoming your children back in the new year!
Sincerely,
Ms. Salata, Principal
 As a reminder, winter break will be held Monday, December 23, to Friday, January 3. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break. The Clermont office will be closed over winter break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year. Classes resume on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025.
This week the Clermont PTA treated staff with hot cocoa from The Little Well. It was a delicious midweek treat. Thank you to our amazing PTA!!!
Fairfax County Public Schools has compiled a list of resources for students and families in case they need assistance while schools are closed for winter break. Please visit FCPS’ winter resources webpage for information on academic support, mental health support, and county resources related to food, clothing, housing, and other needs.

FCPS encourages students to take advantage of fun learning opportunities during winter break and snow days. Consider these winter activities to blend education and play for your students during winter break or weather-related school closures.
