Greetings McNair Students and Families,
Tomorrow is the first day of school for our Kindergarten, First, and Second grade students as well as our students accessing the Preschool Autism Classroom (PAC) program. (Students accessing our Pre-K and ECCB programs will join us for their first day of school on Thursday, August 27th.) We are so excited to welcome our Mustangs back into the building to kickoff the 2026-2027 school year together!
Please see below for a couple of friendly reminders:
School Hours: 8:45 am- 3:30 pm
We will open our doors to welcome students with our first bell ringing daily at 8:35 am to signal a ten-minute notice for students to enter the school building and make their way to their classroom. Our students should be in their classroom seats no later than 8:45 am. Our day begins with connecting with each other and building relationships among staff and students for productive learning! Please partner together with us to have your child/children at school and in class on time.
First Day of School
We will be permitting families to walk their child to the classroom on the first day of school. McNair staff will greet students at arrival each morning throughout the school year and will be available to assist students to class.
Buses & Delays
Please be patient and show grace to all of our FCPS employees as we want to ensure a successful first day, week, and year for all of our students and families. If a student’s bus is delayed, parents may access the Bus Delay Notification System or use the Here Comes the Bus mobile app to receive the delayed bus report. Email messages will be sent to announce significant bus delays. Contact the Transportation Office at 703-249-7000 with any additional questions. For any concerns after 5:30 p.m., contact Safety and Security at 571-423-2000. To make sure you receive email messages about bus delays, update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE.
Arrival and Dismissal
Please follow staff directions during arrival and dismissal times to ensure we are keeping all of our students safe. If you are a walker, please use the crosswalk for safety.
We are so eager and excited to kick off this incredible school year together! See you tomorrow, Mustangs!
