A great day at school starts at home! Here are some tips to help your child be ready to learn and thrive:
-
Establish a Consistent Routine: Ensure your child goes to bed early and wakes up on time to avoid rushing in the morning. Consistency helps them feel prepared for the day ahead.
-
Prepare the Night Before: Pack backpacks, check homework, and lay out clothes to streamline your morning.
-
Fuel Their Body and Mind: A nutritious breakfast gives your child the energy to focus and learn throughout the day.
-
Encourage a Positive Mindset: Talk with your child about their day and encourage them to try their best and have a growth mindset.
-
Stay Connected: Review school notes or communication from teachers to stay informed and engaged in their learning.
Your support at home makes a big difference in your child’s success at school! Thank you for partnering with us to help your child shine. 🌟

PTA needs your help! In order to for our beloved spelling bee to take place we need parents to volunteer to assist with the school bee. We are planning on holding the school bee in person on Friday, February 7th, 2025 beginning at 6:00pm (arrival at 5:30pm). If you are interested in volunteering please email Mrs. Gray at jlgray@fcps.edu. |
Keeping cell phones off during the school day helps students focus and learn. It also boosts positive social behavior. Review FCPS’ cell phone expectations by grade level with your child and help keep our classrooms free of distractions!
