Dear Wofltrap Families,
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.
Thank you! We have several families who have signed up for Food for Others support through mid-December. We can still use volunteers to pick up the food from the PTA closet on Fridays between 1:30p and 3:00p and drop off at the Loading Dock at the Food For Others Warehouse. Volunteer here! On the job training available! 😂
Warmly,
Dr. Maggie Grove, Principal
Ms. Megan Tipton, Assistant Principal
