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. |

Thank you for your cooperation!
We are excited to announce new attendance incentives for our students! Each week, the primary and upper-grade classrooms with the highest attendance percentage will be recognized and rewarded. Winners will be announced on our Friday news show, and rewards might include fun perks like extra recess, popcorn parties, and more!
Attendance is key to student success. Missing school can limit learning, contribute to social anxiety, and create barriers to achievement. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring your child attends school regularly and on time. Let’s work together to help every student thrive!
Thank you for your support!

Winter weather is here! As a reminder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy time outdoors. Schools monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside for activities like recess or physical education.
View Fairfax County’s Winter Weather/Extreme Cold safety tips.
If you need assistance getting cold-weather clothing for your family, please contact our family liaison, Solangie McPherson, at SVMcPherson@fcps.edu. You may also contact 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 health care.
