 Purple Up! Day at Little Run was a huge success! 💜 Between our amazing staff showing their support and our students enjoying Scoops for Troops, it was a day filled with gratitude and community. We salute our military-connected families today and every day! 🍦
Roadrunner Roundup
Dear Roadrunner Families,
What a vibrant and beautiful week it has been at Little Run! We were certainly blessed with some gorgeous sunshine and even a little preview of that summer heat! It was wonderful to see our students enjoying the nice weather and making the most of their time outdoors.
A major highlight of our week was wrapping up Super Citizenship Week. We have spent the last few days celebrating kindness across the entire building, and it was fun to see our students participate in our Kindness Bingo Board. They worked hard to be "caught" doing acts of kindness for one another, and that positive spirit was flowing through our halls all week. We encourage you to ask your child about the specific act of kindness they showed at school this week!
On Wednesday, we also took the time to celebrate our amazing military-connected families for Purple Up! Day. It was a joy to host our "Scoops for Troops" ice cream social, where our military-connected students and families could connect, share their unique experiences, and enjoy a treat together. We are so incredibly appreciative of the varied life experiences they bring to our school community and recognize their strength and resilience. We are so proud to have so many brave and resilient kids and families as part of our Little Run community.
Calendar Reminders/Updates:
-
Tuesday, April 21: NO SCHOOL for students due to the special election.
-
Wednesday, April 22: There will be NO early release this day; students will follow a regular (3:15 PM) dismissal schedule.
-
Friday, April 24: Please note that PTA The World at Little Run event has been cancelled due to low registration. We look forward to bringing this wonderful celebration of our community's cultures back next year!
We are grateful for your continued partnership in making Little Run such a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow.
Sincerely,
Christie Yarn, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal

 The halls of Little Run were extra bright this week! ☀️ Whether we were dressing in Neon or Animal Print, the goal remained the same: celebrating Super Citizenship and catching kindness in action. Our students truly know how to make our school a better place! 🤝✨

2026-2027 Class Placement Information - Parent Input
As the end of the school year approaches, we are already looking ahead to next year. Our school team spends significant time creating heterogeneous classrooms with a balanced mix of academic needs, social dynamics, and student strengths.
Our Placement Process & Parent Input
We believe that a successful classroom is built on instructional criteria and the individual needs of every student. To ensure this process remains fair and consistent for all families, we do not honor requests for specific teachers.
Staffing and grade-level assignments frequently change throughout the summer due to shifts in enrollment and personnel. Therefore, it is far more valuable for you to share specific academic or behavioral information rather than a name. Your insight, combined with our staff’s recommendations, helps us find the best environment for your child’s success.
Submission Details
If you have pertinent information to support your child’s placement, please complete the Parent Input Google Form. Deadline: May 8, 2026.

Support Your Children During Important Spring Assessments
Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning.
FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately.
Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season.
It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify your student’s school as soon as possible.
Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.
