 We want to extend a massive thank you to the Lemon Road PTA, parent volunteers, and room parents for an unforgettable Staff Appreciation Week. From the themed decorations to the generous gifts and delicious treats, you showered our staff with love. Our entire staff was touched by your thoughtfulness and generosity.
In addition to Bike & Roll to School and Staff Appreciation Week, we also had multiple field trips! Thank you to our 4th and 1st grade teams (and chaperones) for such meaningful trips.
Wednesday, May 13th will be our final Early Release Wednesday with a 3 hour early dismissal. Students will be released based on the selection that was made earlier this year. Students will be dismissed either at 11:55 AM or 2:55 PM as designated. Other than the SCA Spring Fling participants, childcare cannot be provided for additional students who have not already requested.
Finally, we want to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and maternal figures in our community. We hope you have a relaxing Sunday surrounded by the love and appreciation you deserve.

Finally, complimentary refreshments were made possible by the Fairfax 250 Commission and Basic Burger.

 Congratulations to the Lemon Road students who competed recently at the Science Olympiad Division A Tournament. Our lions performed very well, earning a total of 18 medals, including 1st place overall for the 3rd Grade Build-a-Barge team! We appreciate our PTA and parent coaches & sponsors for making this opportunity possible for our students.
Our students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning.
Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season.
It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify us as soon as possible.
