Thank You to Our Amazing Custodial Team!
October 2 was Custodian Appreciation Day, and we want to recognize our incredible Little Run Custodians - Rose Boakyewaa, Joshua Boateng, Abdul Ismaili and Augustine Agyapong-Agyei.
Their hard work and care help keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming for our students, staff, and families each day. Thank you for all you do for Little Run!
Action Required: Emergency Care Forms
Please check your child’s backpack this week for their paper Emergency Care form. Having accurate, up-to-date contact information is critical so we can reach you quickly in case of an emergency.
We ask every family to complete these three steps:
-
Review the information on the form and make any necessary updates.
-
Sign the form (a signature is required even if there are no changes).
-
Return the completed form with your child as soon as possible.
Thank you for your prompt cooperation in helping us keep our students safe!
Advanced Academics Programs
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction. A continuum of Advanced Academic Program (AAP) services is available to students in Grades K-12 and is designed to match services to each student’s unique academic needs.
Identification for Subject-Specific and Part-Time AAP services occurs throughout the school year. Full-Time AAP services have two identification cycles:
-
Fall identification: Students in grades 3-7 who have enrolled in FCPS since January may be referred by October 15, 2026.
-
Spring identification: Any FCPS student in Grades 2-7 may be referred by December 15, 2026.
FCPS uses ability testing as one consideration in the holistic identification process for AAP services.
- All students in Grade 2 take the Naglieri General Ability Tests (NGAT).
- Students in Grades 3-6 who do not have a multi-domain ability test score take the NGAT.
Families are invited to attend an AAP information meetings, led by our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART):
-
AAP Continuum of Services: October 15 at 5:30 PM in the Library. Families will learn about the continuum of advanced academic services available to FCPS students
Book Character Day - October 30
Mark your calendars! Book Character Day is coming on Friday, October 30th, and we invite all students and staff to join the fun by dressing up as their favorite book character!
This is the perfect chance to read together at home and brainstorm a simple, homemade costume. Pull out those hats, props, and old clothes—no need to buy anything new!
Keep the Magic Safe!
For the safety and comfort of everyone, please ensure outfits are not violent or scary. Masks, weapons, and dangerous-looking items are strictly prohibited.
Talk with your child about their character choice; sharing their story will be the best part of the day! We look forward to seeing our school filled with characters from countless stories!

Share Your Feedback on Traveling to and From School
The FCPS Office of Safety and Security and Safe Routes to School program are asking families to share their experiences traveling to and from their child’s school. The feedback will help inform the Fairfax County School Board’s annual assessment of traffic and pedestrian safety near schools.
The Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Survey asks about walking and biking routes, traffic near schools, kiss-and-ride experiences, accessibility, and other safety concerns.
Your feedback will help FCPS identify common issues. Your responses will be kept confidential and shared with school administrators and the Office of Safety and Security. The five-minute survey is open through Thursday, October 15.
Be sure to identify the school related to your feedback and include specific locations where you have observed a safety issue. If you have students at different schools in FCPS, please complete a different survey for each school.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact SafeRoutestoSchool@fcps.edu.
