😎From the Principal
Dear Sangster Families,
As we wrap up another school year, I want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This has been a year full of learning, growth, laughter, and teamwork, and none of it would have been possible without the support of our amazing students, families, and staff. Your partnership means so much, and I am grateful for the trust you place in us each day.
To our families who are moving on from Sangster, please know that you will always be part of our community. We wish you and your children all the very best in the years ahead. We know you will do great things, and we will be cheering you on from afar.
For those returning next year, I am already looking forward to another wonderful school year together. I hope everyone has a safe, restful, and joyful summer break.
If you need anything over the summer, please do not hesitate to reach out! I will be working all summer and am happy to talk!

☀️Summer Learning Opps
Learning Resources for Families
As summer begins, FCPS is pleased to share a collection of Summer Learning Resources designed to help students review and practice skills learned during the school year.
Resources are organized by grade level and include opportunities for students to revisit key concepts, strengthen skills, and explore new ideas throughout the summer months. Families may access and use the resources at any time based on their interests and needs.
Additional resources will continue to be added throughout June.
We encourage families to explore the Summer Learning Resources Webpage as one of many ways to support continued learning and engagement over the summer.
**Information about Sangster Summer Learning Opportunities as well as the FCPS ones linked above can be found in Thursday folders.**
