Thanks to your incredible generosity, we collected numerous donations that will directly support those in need within our community. We are so grateful for our PTA’s dedication to making a difference!
We also want to thank Ms. Ruiz, our family liaison, and Ms. Sutton, our school counselor, for leading this week’s Family Coffee. They shared fantastic resources on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and offered practical ways to support our students' emotional growth both at school and at home.
As we look ahead, please keep these important calendar dates in mind:

Finally, we are keeping a close eye on the forecast and preparing for winter weather this weekend! To see how FCPS makes decisions regarding school closings, you can watch this short video. Closing updates are always posted first to the FCPS website and then shared via email, text, and the mobile app. To stay ready, please ensure your contact information is current in SIS ParentVUE and that you have an emergency childcare plan in place just in case our schedule changes. Stay warm!
Sincerely,
Christie Yarn, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal

Prepare for Winter Weather
Winter weather will be here before you know it! Watch this video to see how weather closing decisions are made at FCPS.
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible, including email, text, social media, the new FCPS mobile app, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be sure to plan for the winter season. Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE, bookmark the FCPS website, and arrange emergency child care if needed.
⛄ Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities
We will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside. Make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. View the National Weather Service’s tips on staying safe during cold weather.
If you need assistance getting cold-weather clothing for your family, please call Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and health.

Winter Resources for Families
A list of resources has been compiled for students and families in case they or someone they know needs assistance while schools are closed for winter weather.

Even If School Is Closed, Learning Can Continue!
We encourage students to take advantage of fun learning opportunities during snow or inclement weather days. Consider these winter activities to blend education and play at home.
