 Dear Wofltrap Families,
Thanks to our friends at Madison High School for an amazing County Fair! We always appreciate the invitation and being included.
There is always something amazing going on at Wolftrap! Ms. Mason is introducing some leadership opportunities for our fifth graders as they prepare to lead our school next year: the re-introduction of our Student Government Association (SGA) Committees! (remember, before Covid??)
SGA Committees are small groups of students working together to make our school an even better place. Members will meet once a month to collaborate on their committee's deliverables—the specific projects, tasks, and creative ideas they are responsible for bringing to life. Students will be learning all about these committees directly in their classrooms. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Britney Mason, our school counselor.
Warmly,
Dr. Maggie Grove, Principal
Ms. Megan Tipton, Assistant Principal

Not Feeling Well? When Your Child Can Come to School
School is better when your child is here! But we do understand that some days, they may feel unwell. Learn more about which symptoms are ok at school (like sneezing or sniffles), and when your child should stay home (if they have a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, for example).
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify the school so that assistance can be provided if needed. Keep an open line of communication with your school public health nurse. Call the school as soon as you know your child will be absent and, if possible, let them know how long you think they will be out.
If you or your family need any kind of support, please reach out to our front office. We are here for you! Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies.
IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE TOWN OF VIENNA:Town of Vienna Parks and Recreation needs our help keeping community spaces safe and clean! Please note that e-bikes and e-scooters are strictly prohibited on all athletic fields, including Waters Field. Additionally, Waters Field is NOT permitted as an after-school hangout spot for students.
Recent misuse has led to safety hazards, litter, and turf damage, prompting local officials and police to increase preventive measures and lock field gates. We ask parents to discuss these rules with their students to help preserve these spaces for scheduled athletic use. Thank you for your support in keeping our community grounds safe!
