Happy Native American Heritage Month! This month we celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. This month is also a time to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges |
As a follow up to our October AAP Information Night, this evening will specifically discuss the process for screening students for advanced academics placement. Our Advanced Academics Teacher, Ms. Kristen Gluck, will share important information and answer questions that you might have. This meeting will be held in our library. See you there!
Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child later in life. It’s a good habit to build now that will help them graduate on time and help them with time management. Parents and families can play a big role in helping kick-start good attendance habits.
Please take a look at the FCPS Calendar. Try to schedule any trips or family events on weekends and school holidays. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students who are absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered “chronically absent.”
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or appointment, you must report the absence to our school. Visit our Attendance webpage for more information.

Family Engagement Month is a time to remember that parents and caregivers are children’s first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers.
The FCPS Family Academy supports the continued success and well-being of each and every student within the FCPS community. The Academy offers a variety of positive and engaging learning opportunities and meaningful connections to transform the FCPS experience into a welcoming environment for all families.
Additionally, every school has a family liaison who will welcome and orient families, and help them understand the school's culture, policies, procedures, and practices. We actually have two at Parklawn, Afifa Bolte and Khalida Jawaid! They can help connect families to resources in the community. Family liaisons might also assist a family in transitioning to a new school and encourage family-school partnerships to help ensure their student's success and healthy development.
The annual Thanksgiving Luncheon is Thursday, November 20!! Families are welcome to join their children for the luncheon. The price for each meal is $5.00 per guest, which includes all non-Parklawn children and adults. We will accept cash only. You also may bring your own lunch or choose not to participate in the meal. All meals must be prepaid using the payment form being sent home on Wednesday, November 5. The payment and pre-payment form must be returned by Monday, November 17. No payments will be accepted at the door. Please review the grade level meal schedules located on the back of the flyer sent home in the Tuesday folder. |
