School Start Times
Student Fasting Meal Kits
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued a new, first-time waiver allowing students fasting during the school day from February 28 to March 28, 2025, to request take-home breakfast and lunch meal kits.
The Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) will provide meal kits reflecting the school menu. Meals will be kept cold and must be heated at home. Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day. If a student purchases breakfast or lunch at school, they cannot pick up a kit that day.
Meal kits must be picked up by students at the end of the school day—adults cannot collect them. Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS FNS website by the deadlines:
-
March 3, 2025, for the week of March 10, 2025
-
March 10, 2025, for the week of March 17, 2025
-
March 17, 2025, for the week of March 24, 2025
Forms must be submitted on time to receive meal kits for the following week.
Kindergarten Registration & Orientation- April 1
For those of you who do not know, our staffing depends on our enrollment. That is why it is important for us to make sure all students who desire to attend Providence ES register early! Kindergarten registration is open now! Spread the word, especially if you have families in your neighborhood! There’s an easy five-step process for parents wanting to register their child for kindergarten:
- Determine eligibility.
- Identify your local school.
- Gather documents.
- Fill out forms.
- Schedule an appointment.
Providence is having our annual Kindergarten Orientation on Tuesday, April 1st from 8:30am - 10:00am. Future panthers and parents will have the opportunity to learn about our Kindergarten program, meet the teachers, tour the school and participate in a few activities.
Read more about the registration process. For additional information, please contact Ms. Fatima Ataba (fataba2@fcps.edu), our school registrar.
