Greetings Laurel Ridge Families,
Happy Friday! It was wonderful to see our hallways glowing today as our students and staff wore yellow to celebrate our incredible bus drivers and transportation team. Even during this shorter week, the Laurel Ridge spirit was on full display! We were also thrilled to see the snow finally clearing, allowing our Lions to get back outside for some much-needed fresh air and movement during recess.
As we look toward next week, please keep in mind that Wednesday, February 25, is a 3-hour early release day, with dismissal at 12:55 PM. Please ensure your child’s dismissal plans are updated in Pick-Up Patrol so we can get everyone home safely and efficiently. We are also eagerly anticipating the PTA’s Passport to the World event on Friday evening! It’s a spectacular way for families to "travel" the globe together, exploring diverse cultures and tasting traditional foods.

New Visitor Management System
We are excited to announce that our school is now using the new Raptor Visitor Management System (VMS). This upgrade is part of our school’s and FCPS’ ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety and streamlining the process for visitors at our school. The VMS ensures that no visitor is on the sex offender registry.
For most visitors, the user experience will be the same when you check in at the front office.
But now there is also an app, which can make check-ins even faster at school. Visitors who choose to download the RaptorSafe App and create a Raptor Passport can pre-verify their information before they get to school. The app will give you a QR code you can use when you check in at school.
If you have questions or need assistance with the new system, please contact our front office. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our schools safe!
