April is the Month of the Military Child. We will be recognizing our military families by wearing purple on April 9th and having a picnic lunch with our military connected families during student designated lunch times. |
It is time to start planning for our next school year. Developing class assignments each year is a complex process. School administration, classroom teachers, counselors, special education staff and specialists all have the opportunity to provide feedback on class groupings.
If you have feedback that you would like for us to consider, please add it to this Family Input Form no later than May 2, 2025. Late submissions will not be accepted. We will consider all feedback provided, but we are not always able to fulfill requests.
We respectfully ask that you do not request particular teachers. It is unfair to give special consideration to some families when it would be impossible to grant requests from all families. Please be aware that grade level assignments for staff sometimes change, due to late enrollments or other changes. Staff assignments are determined at the end of the summer.
Do you have a rising Kindergartner? Early registration helps us to be fully staffed for the next school year. If you have a child who will be five years old by September 30, 2025, you have the option to do online or in-person registration. For online registration, please follow the directions below:
https://www.fcps.edu/online-registration
For in-person registration, please or contact our Registrar, Sue Holmes, at ksholmes@fcps.edu or 703-503-2300 to receive forms via email or in person with an appointment.
For more information on registration requirements please visit the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage.
