Save the date...our Kindergarten orientation/open house is being held on Friday, April 10th, from 1:30 - 3:30 PM. This is an opportunity where families can learn more about Kindergarten at Wakefield Forest. Families should bring their child as we will conduct some quick assessments during the visit. Please stay tuned for more detailed information.
Tuesday, March 3rd, will be a special election day for the Braddock District vacancy on the Fairfax County School Board. Wakefield Forest is one of 22 schools that will be serving as a polling place. We are taking extra safety precautions that will allow citizens to exercise their civic duty while minimizing disruptions to the school day.
In coordination with the FCPS Office of Safety and Security and the Fairfax County Office of Elections, we have identified an area of our school that will be open to the public during the school day. This location is removed from students and will be monitored by staff the entire day to prevent anyone from entering other areas of the school.
We will need to make some parking spots available for voters, so if you have a meeting at school on March 3rd, we encourage you to arrive a little early to find parking. Otherwise, we anticipate that disruptions to the school day will be minimal.
We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we perform this important function for our community. Please feel free to reach out to Principal Prindle directly, if you have any questions or concerns. SBPrindle@fcps.edu

We are excited to announce that our school is now using the new Raptor Visitor Management System (VMS). This upgrade is part of our school’s and FCPS’ ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety and streamlining the process for visitors at our school. The VMS ensures that no visitor is on the sex offender registry.
For most visitors, the user experience will be the same when you check-in at the front office.
But now there is also an app, which can make check-in’s even faster at school. Visitors who choose to download the RaptorSafe App and create a Raptor Passport can pre-verify their information before they get to school. The app will give you a QR code you can use when you check-in at school.
If you have questions or need assistance with the new system, please contact our front office. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our schools safe!
