We are very thankful for all the military family members in our school community, and we want our students and staff to have an opportunity to make connections with you. We would like to invite all military service members (active and reserved) and their families as well as any veterans connected to our school community to a Veterans Day Breakfast on Wednesday, November 11th.
Breakfast will begin at 8:00, along with musical entertainment by our students. There will also be an opportunity to visit classrooms to speak to students.
First grade will be going on a field trip the morning of the 11th, but there will be time for those families to attend the breakfast before the trip.
Please RSVP by November 4th to help us with planning. The RSVP form will also allow you to indicate both who is coming and whether or not you would like to do a presentation for students.

✅Federal Impact Aid Survey
The Impact Aid Program is a federal program designed to directly compensate local school districts that have been financially impacted by federal activities. The program’s mission is to reimburse local school districts for local revenues lost due to the presence of federally owned, and therefore tax exempt, property.
The Federal Impact Aid Survey will be available electronically through your ParentVUE account beginning Monday, October 19th. The enrolling parent is the only one who can complete and submit the online Impact Aid survey. If you have children at multiple FCPS Schools, a survey must be completed for each child for their individual school.
📱New ParentVUE Mobile App
The new ParentVUE mobile app is now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The updated app provides parents and caregivers with a more secure FCPS sign-in experience.
Families who use the mobile app must download the new version by December 2026 to maintain continued access to their child’s information through the app. Families will still be able to access ParentVUE through a web browser.
In the new app, families can enroll in multi-factor authentication (MFA) for FCPS Single Sign-On. While enrollment is optional, we strongly recommend that everyone enable this security feature.
Learn more about installing the new ParentVUE app. Parents needing assistance should submit a Parent Support Request.
