Dear Shrevewood Families,
It was wonderful to see so many of you at our International Night this year! Thank you for joining us as we celebrated the incredible diversity within our school community. Our classrooms truly came alive with the vibrant colors, sounds, and traditions of countries from around the world. It was inspiring to witness students and teachers alike pour their hearts into researching and presenting on so many different backgrounds and cultures. The thoughtful presentations and engaging displays were a testament to their hard work and dedication. We are so proud of everyone's efforts in making this year's International Night a truly memorable and educational experience for all.
As our 2024-2025 school year draws to a close next week, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible partnership. This year has been a testament to what we can achieve together, and your dedication, support, and active involvement have been absolutely essential to our students' success and the vibrant spirit of our school. From volunteering in classrooms to attending concerts and events and supporting learning at home, your commitment has made a profound difference. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for being such an integral part of our school family. We wish you all a safe, restful, and joyful summer break. We can't wait to welcome your children back in August, ready for another year of growth and exciting new adventures!
Sincerely,
Katie Vandawalker, Principal
Dan Reichard, Assistant Principal
It is the time of year that we are focused on endings and beginnings. We are ending the school year and looking forward to the beginning of summer. Some endings are much harder for us, especially when they involve saying goodbye to some of our wonderful Shrevewood staff members.
Congratulations to Annette Dollar who is retiring at the end of this school year. She has given many years of service to FCPS and Shrevewood, and we are thankful for her service to our school and community!
It is with mixed emotions that we bid a fond farewell to the following Shrevewood staff members:
- Lauren Ahn, Art Teacher
- Annette Dollar, Enhanced Autism Classroom Teacher
- Sahar Farahat, Kindergarten Instructional Assistant
- Elia Featherston, Third Grade Teacher
- Shawn Lloyd, Librarian
- Hannah McElhany, PE Teacher
- Jessica Pittman, Second Grade Teacher
- Carrie Zvijac, ESOL Teacher
These staff members impacted our community in many ways, and we wish them all the very best in their future endeavors.
As the summer approaches, we could still have staffing changes. We will continue to update the community with any changes. We are already almost fully staffed for the next school year. We will introduce our new staff members to you all later this summer.
 
The Technology Team will be collecting student devices on the following dates:
-
Kindergarten through 2nd Grade: Thursday, June 5th, 1:45-3:45 p.m.

As an administrative team and school, we will be recognizing and honoring our students' birthdays monthly. For the safety of all students and staff in our building and to limit the amount of classroom disruptions, please do not send in food or toys for your child's birthday.
Our goal is to partner with families to help minimize the number of days students are absent. Getting your student into the habit of daily attendance helps reduce stress and makes it easier to connect with friends and teachers. We understand that each year presents different extenuating circumstances that lead to missed days. However, we hope to increase communication in regards to absences to reduce impact on your child’s well-being. FCPS has created a Health Flyer for Parents indicating when a parent should keep their child home from school. Please review FCPS Attendance Policies and resources to encourage regular school attendance.
Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, parents/legal guardians can report up to two consecutive absences through SIS ParentVUE. Learn more about attendance reporting through ParentVUE HERE. Families can also report absences by emailing shrevewoodelem.attendance@fcps.edu or calling 703-645-6666 before 10:00 a.m. each day.
Students, families, and staff throughout FCPS and in our school community will use Schoology (pronounced /SKOO-luh-jee/) as our learning management system. Here is what you need to know:
You need a SIS/ParentVUE account to log in to Schoology.
Breakfast and Lunch
Breakfast will be $1.75. Lunch will be $3.25, milk $0.60. Money can be added to your child(ren)’s accounts using www.myschoolbucks.com.

During the school year, you can find the menu for breakfast and lunch at https://linqconnect.com/public/menu/ESSF44.
