We have completed our regular Picture Days! Tomorrow—Tuesday, October 20—will be a make-up day for students who missed their regular class Picture Day. Those families have been notified.
Please note that this is NOT a retake day. We will be offering a chance for retakes in December after the first photos have been sent to families.
We are currently processing the photos and will be sending them to families next month.
First Early Release Wednesday Is THIS WEEK, October 21!
This school year includes four 3-Hour Early Release Wednesdays. The first one is THIS WEDNESDAY, October 21. Our dismissal time for students that day will be 1:05 p.m., UNLESS we have received instructions from parents ahead of time to keep them until 4:05.
Lunch will be served as usual.
The other Early Release Wednesday dates for Lane are December 2, February 10, and May 5.

Advanced Academics Program (AAP) Screening and Timeline Parent Meeting This Thursday, October 22, 6 p.m.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a continuum of advanced academic services for all students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Full-time Advanced Academic Program (AAP) services begin in 3rd grade.
Parents of 2nd through 6th graders who would like their child considered for full-time services for the 2027-2028 school year must submit a parent referral form no later than December 15 at 11:59 PM.
If you wish to submit a parent referral for your child, you do not need to wait until December 15 to do so. Referrals are being accepted now. Please email Linda Simon, our Advanced Academics Resource Teacher, at lesimon@fcps.edu to let her know you plan to submit a referral so she expects it.
Ms. Simon will host a parent information meeting this Thursday, October 22, at 6 p.m. in person in the Lane library for parents of students in grades 2 through 6 to explain the screening process, timeline, screening file components, and parent responsibilities for full-time AAP eligibility and placement.
Note: The December 15 deadline applies to all grade levels, including 6th graders screening for 7th grade even though middle school course selection does not take place until January/February 2027. If you want to have your child screened for services in middle school, please be sure to submit the referral by the December 15 deadline.

Attention FCPS Families! The Federal Impact Aid Survey Now Available to Complete Online
The Federal Impact Aid program provides money to districts that enroll federally connected students. Help FCPS secure funding from the Impact Aid Program by helping us identify:
- military families,
- federally connected families,
- families living on a military base.
Please complete one form for each child in your household. Remember that only the parent that registered the student with FCPS (the ‘enrolling parent’) can fill out the Impact Aid Survey form.
For families without access to ParentVUE, a paper copy of the form will be sent home with your student starting October 28. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.
Your support will ensure that we receive the resources for which we are eligible.
To access the Impact Aid Form from your computer or mobile device, we recommend using Google Chrome.
-
Step 1: CLICK HERE or type sisparent.fcps.edu into your Chrome address bar to be taken to SIS ParentVUE. If you don’t have a SIS ParentVUE account, contact your child’s school for an activation letter.
-
Step 2: After you’ve logged into your ParentVUE Account, look for the ‘Online Packets’ link at the top of the page. Click ‘Online Packets.’
-
Step 3: Next, click the ‘Federal Impact Aid Survey’ button on the bottom of the page. This will take you to the Impact Aid Survey for you to complete.
If you have multiple children in Fairfax County Public Schools, please fill out a form for each child. You will know you have completed all of the forms when you get to the final page, and see a green check next to each of their names.
Technical support for using ParentVUE or submitting the survey online is available by submitting a Parent Support Request ticket. Select SISParent in the Application dropdown menu and type “Federal Impact Aid Survey” in the Issue Description section. You may also call the Parent Technology Help Desk at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS).
Honoring Our Lane Lion Veterans and Active Military Service Members for Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11
We are honored to have so many military families – currently active and veteran – in our school community. If you or other family members are active-duty, reserve, or veteran service personnel, we would like to honor you by inviting you to visit our school on the morning of Veterans Day (Wednesday, November 11). There will be two events: a military family breakfast and classroom visits where family members can share their stories of service and sacrifice.
The family breakfast will be held before school in the cafeteria from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. If your family would like to attend, please sign up here. Be sure to tell us how many in your family will attend with you (including you).
If you would like to visit classrooms on Veterans Day, please sign up using one of these methods:
-
Sign up online.
- Fill out the paper form in this week’s Wednesday Folder and return it to our family liaison, Melanie Crosby Hardy, no later than Friday, November 6.
- RSVP to Mrs. Crosby Hardy via email at macrosby@fcps.edu.
We will schedule you for two different classrooms, one of which will be that of the student to whom you are connected. This is to ensure that all classrooms have at least one visitor. Be sure to tell us which grade level is preferred for the second session. (If you are connected to more than one child at Lane, we will place you in those classrooms.) Classroom presentations will be about 15 to 20 minutes long.
We need your photographs!
As part of our Veterans Day celebration, we would also like to create an electronic “Gallery of Honor” slide show featuring photographs of the active-duty and veteran members of the military in our school community. Please send a photo of your military family members by Wednesday, November 4, to be included.
|
You can send a hard-copy photo in to school with your child (please be sure to label it with your child’s name and teacher’s name) or e-mail a digital copy to our family liaison, Melanie Crosby Hardy, at macrosby@fcps.edu.
Please note: These photos will be included in a video that will be featured on our school news show. The video will be housed on YouTube; however, only people with the link will be able to view it. It will not be shared publicly. Please let us know if it is OK to include your family’s name with your photo in the slide show.
Thank you for participating in this very special event and thank you for your service! We hope to see you on November 11!

Understanding Reading Assessments and Your Child (part of the Literacy Webinar Series)
Tuesday, October 20, 10 to 11:30 a.m.
In this webinar, we're diving into how our schools measure your child's reading skills and how you can use that info to help them thrive! We’ll break down two key tests: VALLSS, which acts as an early warning system to catch reading strengths and weaknesses and pinpoint who needs extra support, and i-Ready, an adaptive assessment that tracks your child’s grade-level progress and personal growth all year long. Together, these tools look at the full picture of your child's reading—from sounding out words and building vocabulary to reading smoothly and actually understanding the story. You'll walk away knowing what those score reports really mean, how to chat about them with your child's teacher, and easy ways to boost their reading confidence right at home!

FCPS Is Participating in Virginia Quality Birth to Five (VQB5)
Virginia Quality Birth to Five is Virginia’s system for measuring and supporting quality in early childhood programs so children enter kindergarten ready to learn. VQB5 builds on health and safety standards by measuring the quality of teacher-child interactions and the use of the curriculum. Visit the Virginia Quality Birth to Five website for more information.
Share Your Thoughts on Schools and Buildings in the Renovation Queue Survey
The Office of the Chief of Facilities Services and Capital Programs is seeking input from community members, families, and employees about school facility needs and how FCPS prioritizes facility improvements.
Whether you work in an FCPS school, have a child enrolled, or live near an FCPS school, please share your perspective. The survey asks about building conditions, how facilities affect teaching and learning, renovation priorities, and what information would help you better understand this process.
Look for the survey in your email on Friday, October 16. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and all responses will be kept confidential. The survey will remain open until Saturday, October 31.
Did You Know? Bond Referendums Fund Facility Renovations
FCPS does not pay for facility renovations out of its general operating budget. Instead, Fairfax County voters decide on how much money FCPS can spend on capital improvement projects through bond referendums. Bonds are issued by the county to the school division and allow FCPS to renovate buildings without increasing taxes.
Learn more about bond referendums and how they support our schools on the Bond Referendum webpage.
