Dear Clermont Families,
We survived the freeze! Thank you for your cooperation in keeping arrival and dismissal sound and accident-free during this week’s icy weather. It’s always great to see our Clermont Community band together to keep our students safe.
Since freezing temperatures are forecasted to continue, please keep the following in mind for next week:
-
Use Kiss & Ride: If you drive a vehicle to pick up or drop off a student, please continue using the designated car line. To ensure student safety and traffic flow, refrain from parking on Clermont Drive, side streets, or the cul-de-sac. * Safety First: Large ice mounds are blocking visibility, making it difficult to see small children.
-
Traffic Flow: Please remember to turn right when exiting the parking lot during busy times.
Our popular PTA Science Festival is back this Wednesday, Feb 11. This event received rave reviews last year, and Wwe hope to see you there!
Want to help? Volunteer to run a station here.
 Spirit Week Schedule: February 9th – 13th
Monday: Be Cozy and Kind - Coziest Pajamas and/or a stuffed animal.
Tuesday: Team Up for Kindness - Favorite sports team gear or team colors.

Family Literacy
Our Spring Semester begins Feb. 9th
The Family Literacy Program begins next week! Enrollment is open so any multilingual family who has children enrolled in FCPS is eligible to attend. Classes are FREE. We offer beginning English classes for adults, early learning environments for children two to five years of age and enrichment classes for children K-8th grade. While the parents are acquiring English language skills and learning how to support their children’s education, their children are participating in learning activities in separate classrooms. If you have any families that you feel could benefit from this program, please contact us via email and we will send you a QR code with a link that you can print and/or share with your families. The QR code is linked to a google form survey that parents can fill out. Our office will then contact each family and invite them to one of our classes.

¡El Programa de Alfabetización Familiar comienza la próxima semana! La inscripción está abierta, por lo que cualquier familia multilingüe con hijos matriculados en las escuelas públicas del condado de Fairfax (FCPS) puede participar. Las clases son GRATUITAS. Ofrecemos clases de inglés para adultos principiantes, actividades de aprendizaje temprano para niños de dos a cinco años y clases de enriquecimiento para niños de kínder a octavo grado. Mientras los padres adquieren habilidades en el idioma inglés y aprenden a apoyar la educación de sus hijos, estos participan en actividades de aprendizaje en aulas separadas. Si conoce alguna familia que podría beneficiarse de este programa, contáctenos por correo electrónico y le enviaremos un código QR con un enlace que puede imprimir o compartir con las familias. El código QR enlaza a un formulario de Google que los padres pueden completar. Nuestra oficina se comunicará con cada familia y las invitará a una de nuestras clases.
