As we approach the end of the school year, the school health room would like to remind parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than student dismissal time on the last day of school. For safety reasons and per FCPS policy, medication cannot be sent home with students. Any medication remaining in the health room after 1:35pm on 6/11/25 will be destroyed. Medications are available for pick-up during school hours and by appointment.
If your child will be attending a Fairfax County Public Schools-sponsored summer program, the existing medication authorization form(s) can be used for the summer. However, it is still required that you pick up the medication from the school on the last day and drop it off to the summer program site.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our school health aide, Lynn Bohne, at (703) 925-8010 or the covering school public health nurse, Katie Zinicola, 571-587-1585, kzinicola@fcps.edu. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation. We wish you all a happy and healthy summer!
On the last day of school, Wednesday, June 11, school will be dismissed at 1:35 PM.
During a report to the School Board this month, FCPS Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid announced plans to continue limited early release days in elementary schools and shift them to Wednesdays for the 2025-26 school year. This plan is based on recommendations from the Early Release Steering Committee. The committee includes parents, caregivers, school-based staff, and central office personnel. Read more about the reasons for early release and the proposed early release dates.
Throughout May and June, you will receive your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, there is a list of tests by grade level on the FCPS website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families. Individual test websites provide report translations and help for interpreting test results. Please contact us with any testing questions or for additional information about how we use test results to support student success.

Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, between January and April. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us prepare and ensure we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage.
✨ A strong start is Goal 1 of the 2023-30 Strategic Plan.
