Yearbooks are on sale for $13, and will be distributed in June. An ordering form went home a few weeks ago (and more are available in the office). You can use the form or your own labeled envelope to send cash or check (payable to Camelot ES) back to school, or you can order online at barksdalephoto.com. Yearbook orders are due on April 24. We will have a few extra yearbooks in June, but cannot order additional copies once they sell out.
Starting this spring, we will have 1 community flier day each fall, winter and spring on which we will distribute copied and counted fliers form organizations that give parents/caregivers information about family or children's activities. Examples include camps, sports, arts/crafts, tutoring, festivals, scouts, etc. We will only distribute fliers for which the activities are open to all families or children or all families and children within a specified grade or age range. The fliers must specify that the activities are not sponsored or endorsed by FCPS or the Fairfax County School Board. Please contact Denise Oaks at dmoaks@fcps.edu or 703-645-7000 if you have questions or would like to submit a flier.
