A Message from the Principal
It was nice to have a full week with our students. As a reminder we do have Monday, January 20th off to celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. There is always the chance for more weather interruptions. Please make sure that you have subscribed to the FCPS Alert notifications, and they will text and email you of any change to school operations! You can also check the FCPS website for emergency announcements at www.fcps.edu .
We are excited to introduce a new family night event. Come join us on Thursday, February 13th from 6:00-7:00 pm for Comfort Food/Noodle Night. Bring a family favorite or noodle dish that is part of your family’s culture. We will gather to sample the various dishes. We hope you can join us!
Stay warm and safe this weekend!
Sincerely,
Erika Aspuria
Principal
Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities
Winter weather is here! As a reminder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy time outdoors. We monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside for activities like recess or physical education.
