Ramadan

Ramadan Mubarak to those in our community who observe! In Islam, Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year. During this month Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset each day while striving to increase their spirituality, through prayers, charity, and good deeds. Muslims believe it was during this month that God revealed the first verses of the Holy Quran to Prophet Muhammad. #OurFCPS

Parents Need To Know
Spring SOL Reading, Math, and Science Testing Dates
For your planning purposes and reference, please see the Spring 2025 Standards Of Learning (SOL) Testing Dates. When possible, please avoid scheduling appointments and/or activities that would prevent your child from arriving at school on time on the days your child(ren) are participating in an SOL Assessment.
   Developing a Strong Academic Foundation, Curiosity, and Joy for Learning
The FCPS Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Advertised Budget invests in academic growth and excellence for each and every student, which is one of the priorities of the FCPS Strategic Plan.
A strong start for every student is Goal 1 of the Strategic Plan. Pre-K classrooms are making a difference in our community. In this video, we explore the importance of bringing children under the age of five together, regardless of abilities.
Learn more about the FCPS FY 2026 Advertised Budget. View the Budget Development Calendar to stay up to date and learn about opportunities to provide feedback to Fairfax County and FCPS.
Quarter End, Eid al-Fitr, and Student Holiday
Friday, March 28, is the last day of the third quarter. It is a full day of school for students.
All FCPS schools and offices are closed on Monday, March 31, for Eid al-Fitr. Tuesday, April 1, is a student holiday and teacher workday. See the complete school year calendar.
The Gradebook in SIS ParentVUE and StudentVUE will be closed for the end of the quarter from Friday, March 28, at 4 p.m. to Monday, April 7, at 6 a.m.
Learn how to activate your ParentVUE account to easily access grade reports and other helpful information about your child.
Principal Evaluation Feedback
Staff and parent/guardian feedback for the principal evaluation process will be collected online between March 24 and April 4. Respondents will rate their level of agreement with statements aligned with performance standards for school-based administrators. Parents/guardians with children enrolled at your school will be contacted via email with a unique link to submit their feedback. These invitations will be sent from @fcpssurvey, and each feedback link will be single-use. Please be reassured that the message is legitimate and that providing feedback on principal performance is a routine part of the FCPS evaluation process.
Attendance Reminders
If your child will be absent or late to school, there are 3 different ways to notify the school. Call (703) 551-5353 and leave a message 24/7 on the Attendance line, email LaurelHillElem.Attendance@fcps.edu or Login to Parent VUE. Additionally, we do not dismiss students after 3:30pm, as it disrupts our end of day schedule.
Parent & Emergency Contacts
Please make sure your telephone numbers are correct (and voice mail boxes aren't full) so we are able to contact you in case of student illness or emergency.
