Good afternoon, Fox Mill Families,
We hope you have a good week.
A FEW UPDATES
Family Life Education Parent Preview Night
Fox Mill Families are invited to our Family Life Education (FLE) Parent Night! Join us to learn more about the FLE curriculum, review the materials, opt -out options, and answer related FLE questions. We look forward to seeing you on October 28th at 6:30pm in the school library.
International Jubilee- November 6th 6pm- 8pm
Celebrate the World at Fox Mill’s International Jubilee!
Get ready for a wonderful celebration of the cultures, traditions, and stories that make our Fox Mill community so special! We invite parents to be part of the fun by sharing a favorite dish from your native country and creating a display board with photos, artwork, or artifacts that help students learn about your culture.
Students will have the chance to explore our International Café, discover new flavors, and learn about countries around the world. And for any picky eaters who feel a little shy about trying something new, free pizza will be available too!
We hope you’ll join us in making this a joyful, delicious, and unforgettable celebration for our students and families!
Please email Mrs. Allie Greene or Ms. Denton if you would like to be a part of this cultural extravaganza.

Impact Aid
Please Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets, which is in the upper right corner of the screen after logging in. Please complete it as soon as possible. Schools will provide paper forms to families who have not completed the survey in ParentVUE starting Wednesday, October 28. Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is how we ensure we receive all the resources available to us from the federal government. For more information, please visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.
Encouraging Regular Attendance
Regular attendance is a good habit to establish in childhood. It can lead to greater success in high school, college, and careers. Teachers and students miss your child when they can’t make it to school. If you or your family need support, please reach out to your school's front office. We are here for you!
If students miss too much school, school staff may reach out to the family to partner with them on addressing barriers to regular attendance. Visit the FCPS website for attendance resources.
Family Connection Corner
Welcome to the Family Connection Corner, a place to find events, helpful resources, and information for your family. We hope it will help build a strong connection between families and our school community.
The FCPS Family Resource Center offers a wide range of information and support for families. Explore its resources at fcps.edu/frc.
