 We hope that everyone is enjoying winter break! Ms. Ulsh and I would like to take a moment to thank you for the ongoing support and partnership throughout this school year. The last week of December was filled with opportunities to give back to our staff: hot chocolate and cookies, hosting class parties, and covering classes during our staff luncheon.
We look forward to welcoming all of our students back in the new year on January 6 ~ refreshed and ready for new learning! Mark your calendar for Tuesday, January 14. Our school counselor, school psychologist, and school social worker will be speaking at the Principals Coffee about school attendance and how to support your child with their mental health. Join us beginning at 8:15 in the library for refreshments, good conversation, and bring your questions!
- Dress your child for the winter weather! Classes will go outside for recess and most days.
- All visitors must bring and scan a government-issued photo ID each time they visit school. Arrive early to events to ensure time for parking and check in.
- Check out the breakfast and lunch menu!
- Have your child log into Clever from Lemon Road Student Links to access Lexia and ST Math from home to maintain academic progress.
Watch this video to see how FCPS makes weather closing decisions.
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 among the first to hear about weather delays and closings through emails and text messages! Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE.
 Thank you to everyone who supported our hot cocoa & cookies, volunteered at class parties or who covered classes for the December staff luncheon!
- On January 8th the PTA will host our annual “Welcome Back Breakfast”. Please sign up here to help with donations of food, money or (most precious of all!) your time!
