All students will follow the same transportation plan used during the previous 3-hour early release, unless a different arrangement has been confirmed with the main office or Assistant Principal Mr. Downing.

We are excited to share the final round of field trips for the school year! 🌟 Kindergarten and first grade will be heading to Schlagel Farms to pick fresh strawberries 🍓, where students will enjoy hands-on learning and a taste of farm life. Second grade will visit Colvin Run Mill to explore history in action and see how a working mill operates ⚙️🌾. Our Pre-K, PAC, and PS classes will enjoy a fun and educational trip to Frying Pan Farm Park, where they will experience farm animals and outdoor learning adventures 🐄🌳.

It’s a wonderful way to wrap up our year of learning outside the classroom!

Audi Field is a cashless venue. All concession stands, retail, and parking (such as at the GEICO Garage) require credit cards, debit cards, or mobile, digital wallets (NFC) for payment.

Metro: The Navy Yard-Ballpark (Green Line) station is a short walk from the field and is often considered a better option than driving.

If you need help purchasing your DC United game tickets please reach out to any of our Family Liaisons for support.

May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.

To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.

Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students.
