Dear Forest Edge Parents/Guardians,
On Thursday June 11th, Forest Edge will be having our Field Day!! K, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will have it in the morning from 9:00 to 11:00 with twelve stations. 4th, 5th, and 6th will have their field day from 12:45-2:45, with ten stations. There will be 3 stations in the gym, 3-4 water stations on the blacktop, and 4-5 stations on the field. We are seeking volunteers for both the morning and the afternoon sessions, more information is below.
Here is what students can bring to be prepared:
- Sneakers
- Weather appropriate clothes
- Change of clothes due to water stations
- Water bottle with name on it.
- Suggest wearing a hat
- Sunscreen (teachers won’t be able to apply sunscreen so please put this on prior to school and/or have them reapply before the Field Day begin)
Each class will be divided into 3 groups: red, blue, and green. They will need to wear shirts that correspond to their color. We have a limited amount of extra pinnies in case someone does not have this shirt color or forgets it the day of field day.
We are still in need of a couple of more volunteers for the 2026 Field Day. You are also more than welcome to participate in the stations; it is a lot of fun! Below is the link to sign up. We are looking to fill both the morning and afternoon sessions with most stations needing 2 volunteers.

Thank you,
Mr. Winfree and Mr. Jackson
FCPS values your input as we plan future school calendars. On Friday, June 5, all caregivers and FCPS staff will receive an email from noreply@fcps.edu containing a unique link to complete the FCPS Calendar Survey.
Your feedback matters. Please take a few minutes to share your priorities and perspectives by Monday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m.
Your individual responses will be kept confidential and will not be shared with school staff or used in any way that identifies you or your student. Only aggregate, summary-level results will be reported to the Fairfax County School Board.
If you do not receive a link to the survey or have technical difficulties completing the survey, please contact the FCPS Office of Research and Program Evaluation.
The FCPS Summer Resource Guide has activities and tips on a variety of subjects and interests, from camps and activities to health and safety resources.
Be sure to check back over the summer, as more resources may be added.
Learning Doesn’t Take a Vacation and Neither Does Fun!The FCPS Summer Learning webpage offers ideas and strategies for families to keep students curious until August. Summer is the perfect time to help your student explore new interests, reinforce concepts, and stay engaged!
Inspire Health Alliance, in partnership with FCPS, will be providing school-required immunizations this summer. Immunizations will be provided at no out-of-pocket cost to students or families. Registering families will be required to provide insurance information, if applicable, but students without insurance may still participate.
Visit the FCPS and Inspire Health Alliance Student Immunization Events webpage for dates, times, and locations. Additional event dates will be made available and shared four to five weeks prior to the event on the webpage. Additional immunization resources are also available.
As we enter the final weeks of the school year, Fairfax County Public Schools appreciates your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success. Regular attendance plays an important role in helping students stay engaged in learning, maintain connections with their teachers and peers, and finish the school year strong.
Attending school consistently also helps students build valuable habits such as responsibility, perseverance, and daily routines that support success both in and out of the classroom.
If your child needs to miss school, please remember to report the absence. Full-day absences can be reported in ParentVUE. Families may also report absences by calling the school attendance line or emailing the school-designated attendance address.
If your child is experiencing challenges that are affecting attendance, we are here to help. Please contact your child’s school so staff can partner with you to provide support and resources. Learn more about attendance resources.
