Music in Our Schools
March is Music in Our Schools Month, and we are are proud of the strong music program at Willow Springs. We offer general music, strings, and band to meet the needs and interests of our students.
Pictured here are Kindergarten students rehearsing for the upcoming 3 Piggy Opera which promises to be a thrilling and memorable performance.
A Note from the Principal's Desk
Dear Willow Springs families,
Spring is definitely in the air and we are already looking ahead and planning all of our 4th quarter activities and looking ahead to the 25-26 school year. One of the most exciting things we plan for each year is welcoming our incoming Kindergarten students. The start of kindergarten is a big milestone in a child's life and we look forward to it almost as much as our littlest learners do. Our Kindergarten team is planning a Kindergarten Orientation event and in order to make a plan that includes all incoming students and families, it is vital that families complete the registration process. If you have a rising Kindergarten student in your home or you have friends and family members with rising K students, please use the information included in the text box below to complete the registration process ASAP. We hope to meet all of our new K students and parents at Kindergarten Orientation. The date of that event will be announced soon.
We wish all of you a relaxing & rejuvenating weekend filled with happy moments. Thank you for sending us your best every day! #WillowPride
Sincerely,
Dylan Taylor, Principal
Ipsa Stringer, Assistant Principal
Laura Tapper, Assistant Principal

Kindergarten Registration
If your child is eligible for kindergarten enrollment for the 2025-26 school year please complete the Survey of Preschool Children. The form should be returned to Liz Flaherty, Registrar at WSES.
Online Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is open. If you have a child who is eligible to start Kindergarten in the fall, please register them now. Early registration gives us the information we need to start supporting YOU as you prepare to send your child to public school.
Both new and returning (re-enrolling) families can use our Online Registration (OLR) system to register students entering Kindergarten (00) through 12th grade for the upcoming academic year.
Welcome to Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) Online Registration.
OLR provides families with the information to utilize this convenient registration tool. Parents and guardians can still register students using the electronic bundle or choose to complete paper registration forms if they prefer.
Willow Springs Student Registration Page for New Students.
After registration is complete the student will be ready for orientation, Bridge to Kindergarten, or any other introductory events Willow Springs may host.

THE EVENT of the year is just around the corner so make plans now to join us on Friday, March 28th at Fairfax HS for the annual on court battle between the Willows and the Foxes. Come cheer on our staff members as they put their ball skills to the test to see who will win the big game.
There will be snacks for sale and special performances. You won't want to miss the fun so make plans to be there cheering on your team.
As you plan your spring and summer activities and travel, please keep in mind that our 3rd - 6th grade students will be taking standardized tests (SOLs) in May and June.
If you can avoid traveling or appointments that will keep your child out of school on a scheduled testing date, that would be greatly appreciated and will benefit your child. Students tend to prefer taking these tests in their classrooms and learning spaces with their peers and their usual teachers. When students are absent on a testing day, they are eligible for a makeup opportunity, but the makeup test will be given by any available staff, and it will not take place in the classroom.
The calendar is linked here. Please know the schedule is subject to change.
We will be sharing more information about testing in the coming weeks and months. Please stay tuned and attend PTA meetings to learn more.
March is National Women's History Month and Celebrating Arts in Our Schools Month.
