Thank you to all the families who joined us for Back to School Night last week. We enjoyed seeing so many of you and appreciate your partnership as we begin the school year. We hope your children are settling into their routines and feeling comfortable in their classrooms.
Please continue to help your child arrive at school on time each day. When students are tardy, they miss important routines and valuable classroom learning, and arriving late can be disruptive to both the student and their classmates. Thank you for helping us ensure every student begins the day ready to learn.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Condra and Amber Burnett

BLUE STAR WELCOME WEEK
|
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate, and schools are a primary way they get integrated into their new location. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 26 through October 4, 2026, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS
Blue Out Day: October 2 - Wear all Blue to school to celebrate our Military Families!

UPDATE FROM 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!
