2024-25 FCPS School Calendar
🐝Welcome back and Happy New Year 2025!
Preparing for Winter Weather
Winter weather will be here before you know it! FCPS’ website is generally the first place where we will announce an emergency weather closing. 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 plan for childcare if needed.
⛄ Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities
Your school’s principal will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that 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 getting cold weather clothing for your family, please call Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and healthcare.
Please Label your Child's Belongings
Welcome back and Happy New Year! To prevent a robust lost and found in 2025, we are asking our parents and guardians to make sure all of their children's belongings are clearly labeled.
Please label their belongings such as hat, gloves, lunch box, backpack, water bottles, sweatshirts and jackets with their first and name. Take a photo in case you need to come to the school and look through lost and found.
Labeling them is the best way to help us return them to your child!

🚸Kindergarten and New Student Registration for the 2024-25 School Year
A child may enter kindergarten for this school year if he or she turns five on or before September 30, 2025.
If you have not registered your child, we are scheduling appointments for all rising kindergartners. We have Spanish translators in the office and can arrange for other languages as well. Please contact Shermin Sirajudin, our Student Information Assistant, by email at ssirajudin@fcps.edu or by phone at 703-326-3100.
