Calendar
To help minimize confusion and congestion at the end of the day, please submit dismissal changes to the office before 2:00 p.m. the day of the Early Dismissal.
All early pick-ups must be completed before 3:15 p.m. After 3:15 p.m., parents/guardians will need to wait until regular dismissal at 3:50 p.m. The buses are arriving, and we are completing end of day activities. Last minute changes make it hard to notify the teacher and sometimes locate the students quickly. On 3-hour early dismissal days, early pick-ups must be completed before 12:15 p.m. After 12:15 p.m., parents/guardians will need to wait until dismissal at 12:50 p.m. Thank you for your cooperation!
 Reminder that there is no school on Monday, October 13, 2025 for Indigenous People's Day. See everyone on Tuesday, October 14.

FCPS Food and Nutrition Services visited Clermont and invited some students to taste test new items that may soon be on the lunch menu. The students had the chance to share their opinions on healthy, homemade granola, Philly cheesesteak, and new egg bites. Thanks to Chef Tim Jones and Nutritionist Jenn Knepper for this great experience for our students, and for striving to provide healthy and tasty options for our schools! |
FCPS provides families with a free service that allows parents and caregivers a way to stay informed about their child's online activity on any FCPS device. Starting Sunday, October 12, all parents and guardians who have access to student records in SIS ParentVUE will be automatically enrolled to receive a weekly Lightspeed Student Online Activity Report.
This report provides a summary of the websites your child visited during the previous week and is delivered every Sunday to your email directly from Lightspeed, our internet content filter.
Each weekly report also includes a link to register for the Lightspeed Parent Portal, which provides more detailed browsing information. This portal also gives you the ability to pause internet access on your child’s FCPS laptop during non-school hours, such as dinner or bedtime.
Visit the Lightspeed Parent Report page for more information and answers to frequently asked questions.
Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child later in life. It’s a good habit to build now to help them graduate from college on time and routinely report to work on time once they have a career.
Please take a look at the FCPS Calendar. Try to schedule any trips or family events on weekends and school holidays. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students who are absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered “chronically absent.”
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or appointment, you must report the absence to our school.
Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for resources on attendance.
Registration is now open for our Fall Fundraiser! Sign up your student now at mybooster.com and share, share, share!
