This is the last chance to claim items that had been brought to the Lost & Found between the beginning of the school year and December 20, 2024. Families may contact Belle Arze at bbareze@fcps.edu to schedule a time to look or stop by the school to search for any unclaimed items. The BMP front office will also be open on January 29, 2025, a day for no students, so families may stop by together.
Math Happenings At BMP!
Math Olympiad is a math competition where students compete in monthly contests individually, but meet to practice problem solving and do math together. From December to March, a group of fourth and fifth grade students have been meeting on Thursday mornings with Ms. Bell and Ms. Hoang to engage in this activity. Teachers facilitate the weekly team “practices” where students work on the “problem of the week.” The focus is to teach “multiple strategies for out-of-the-box problem solving, develop mathematical flexibility in solving those problems, and foster mathematical creativity and ingenuity.” Positive attitude and growth mindset around math challenges may lead students to just take risks in mathematical discourse in their classrooms.
This year, Title I Math event will occur during the school day! Families will be invited into their child’s classroom to engage in math activities and learning together. Your child’s teacher will share information about time and date for the specific grade level. We look forward to seeing families celebrate math at Bren Mar Park!
Bren Mar Park is hosting its annual Celebrating Cultural Stories Night on January 30th, 2025. This is an evening event that encourages students to experience new cultures by listening to stories in multiple languages. We welcome all families and students to enjoy exciting stories and cultural foods! Doors will open at 6:00 pm.
If you have any questions about Celebrating Cultural Stories Night please contact our Family Liaison, Belle Arze, at bbarze@fcps.edu for more details.
Online Registration for the 2025-2026 school year opened on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. Both new and returning (re-enrolling) families can use the Online Registration system to register students entering Bren Mar Park next school year. For student being enrolled in kindergarten, there is also a Pre-Kindergarten experience registration form.
The Welcome to Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) Online Registration link will be available on the Bren Mar Park website. Residency verification will still be required.
Due to inclement weather and the resulting school closure on January 8, the Bren Mar Park Elementary School pre-construction meeting will now be held on Wednesday, February 12, at 6:30 p.m., in the school cafeteria. Language interpretation services will be available.
Families are welcome to join us the morning of Friday, February 14, 2025 from 8:15 - 9:00 a.m. You are invited to come and sit and eat with your child, other families, and BMP staff! The cafeteria will be decorated and music playing for a special time together in the school setting.
Families, bring your own breakfast. Children will have access to the free FCPS breakfast.
If you are interested in volunteering to help set up decorations from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 13, 2025, please email Principal Williams at cewilliams2@fcps.edu.
Erika Radke, Art.
This is my first year teaching at Bren Mar Park, and FCPS. I am never bored since I go to a different school each day of the week! Additionally, I teach ceramic sculpture at the Workhouse Arts Center. I double majored in Sculpture and Crafts at VCU.
After school, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my three kids who are in 5th grade, 4th, and kindergarten. I also love making art and trying out new techniques!
