Happy New Year!

We hope everyone had a restful winter break and stayed safe during the recent snow days. We are excited to welcome everyone back to school and to jumpstart the new year with energy and focus.

A special thank you goes out to our incredible custodial team, who worked tirelessly to clear the grounds and ensure our school is safe and ready for everyone’s return. We truly appreciate their dedication and hard work.

We are looking forward to a fantastic semester filled with growth, learning, and collaboration. As we return, please continue to check your email and FCPS communication channels for any updates regarding schedule adjustments due to the weather.
