Principal’s Message

Dear Families,

We have had an exciting first week of school! Our students are making new friends and learning about being active members of the community. We value your partnership and encourage you to ask your children about what they are learning in school each day. 

Our teachers will send updates through the Talking Points For Families App. Adding this app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store will allow you to follow class updates and send and receive messages from your child’s teacher.

You can contact our Family Liaison, Ms. Schepers at 703-813-5430 for support with downloading app or to learn about other resources.

It’s going to be a great week of learning at Weyanoke!

Sincerely, 

Felicia Usher, Principal

Labor Day Friday, September 4, and Monday, September 7, are Labor Day holidays for all FCPS employees and students. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day. We hope everyone takes the long weekend to celebrate a strong start to the school year and enjoy time with family and friends. See the complete school year calendar.

Student ID Cards for Weyanoke Bus Riders We have distributed student ID cards to all our students who ride the school bus or use FCPS transportation services.  ID cards should be worn or attached to your child’s backpack and brought to the bus each day.  Students who have student ID cards should begin tapping as they board and exit the bus. Only students who use FCPS transportation services will be provided with a student ID card at this time. We ask for your patience!  Bus drivers are checking in students and may need some extra time at each bus stop while they do this. The transportation team is working hard to minimize any potential delays. Learn more about the bus navigation and student ID cards.

Opt In or Out to Student Devices Being Sent Home for Grades 1-6

New this year, families can opt out of having student laptops sent home with their student.  

• If you do not want your student to bring their FCPS-issued device home, please toggle the Opt Out button to a check mark and confirm by pressing Save Selection.
• If you would like your student to bring their FCPS device home, no toggle action is needed. Confirm by pressing Save Selection.

Students whose families opt out will continue to have access to an FCPS-issued device during the school day. Please reach out to your student’s teacher to understand expectations for homework and any learning activities that may require access to technology outside of the school day.

Transportation Patience and Safety Thank you for your patience as we all get used to new routines this school year. We appreciate our families following Kiss and Ride procedures and being patient while waiting for your child’s bus.  If your child’s bus is delayed, you 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. Please contact the Transportation Office at 703-446-2050 with any additional questions. For concerns after 5:30 p.m., contact the FCPS Office of Safety and Security at 571-423-2000.  Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE to make sure you receive email messages about bus delays.
