The public is invited on Wednesday, May 7, 6:30-7:30 p.m., to Coates Elementary School for a community meeting to discuss space and capacity solutions for students for the 2025-26 school year (next school year). Language interpretation will be available. The school’s program capacity utilization was 131% for School Year 2023-24, with a projected program capacity utilization of 172% for School Year 2028-29, as shown in the Adopted FCPS Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2025-29.
Coates Elementary School was identified as a priority for review for a potential boundary adjustment as part of the Adopted CIP. Community meetings for input on the scope of the boundary study were held in January 2025. The School Board voted on a scope in March 2025. Given the ongoing comprehensive boundary review, the Coates ES boundary study will be prioritized in that effort. This meeting will focus on how to accomodate students at Coates ES for next school year.
Visit the Coates Boundary Study webpage for additional information and to sign up for the Coates project email list. Communication about this ongoing work will also be shared by the school and applicable School Board representatives including: Robyn Lady (Dranesville District), Melanie Meren (Hunter Mill District), Seema Dixit (Sully District), and At-Large representatives Kyle McDaniel, Ryan McElveen, and Ilryong Moon.
Join the FCPS Summer Extravaganza on Saturday, May 10, 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m., at Woodson High School! During this free event, participants can engage in educational and enrichment activities designed to inspire curiosity and growth.

Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of March, providing information on their SEL skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the SEL Screener Results Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.

In FCPS, we all belong. From the first day of school, to the last day of school, every child matters.

All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
-
- To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
- As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
- All students entering 12th grade are to receive one dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school.
