 Next week is Staff Appreciation Week! Lemon Road is a special community and our staff are a huge part of that! We cannot say enough how fortunate we are to have such the amazing people at Lemon Road supporting your children. I encourage you and your student to send a note to a staff member who has made a difference this year. Thank you teachers & staff!
A quick reminder that SOL testing begins Wednesday for our 5th graders and next week for all 3rd - 6th graders. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast make a big difference in helping your child stay focused and feel their best. Have them bring an extra sweatshirt or jacket to help ensure they are comfortable in their testing environment. As always, thanks for your support—we know they’ll do great!
Have a great week!

FCPS offers a free service that allows parents to stay informed about their child's online activity on any FCPS device. By completing the Lightspeed Parent Report Request, enrolling parents can sign up to receive a weekly report summarizing the websites your child visits while using an FCPS device. These reports are delivered directly to a parent's email address over the weekend by Lightspeed, FCPS' internet content filter. Visit the Lightspeed Parent Report page on the FCPS website for more information and directions on how to sign up.
Each weekly report includes a link to register for the Lightspeed Parent Portal which provides more detailed browsing information. This portal also gives parents the ability to pause internet access on their child’s FCPS laptop during non-school hours such as dinner or bedtime.
