Good afternoon, Cedar Lane Community -
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. As a school family, it is important we take time today to pause, reflect, and honor the lives that were lost, as well as the heroic first responders and ordinary citizens who showed extraordinary courage on that solemn day. We hold the families, individuals, and entire communities impacted close in our thoughts today as we reaffirm our commitment to kindness, unity, and supporting one another throughout the school year ahead.
We also want to say thank you to all the parents and guardians who joined us this past Wednesday, September 9th, for our annual Back to School Night! It was wonderful to see our building filled with so many families connecting with teachers, walking through daily schedules, and engaging in their student's learning journey. Your active partnership and involvement are what make Cedar Lane such a thriving, supportive community.
Looking ahead, we are excited for our upcoming school field trip to the National Zoo in two weeks (Friday, September 25th) -- if your student is interested in attending, please make sure they sign up in the main office and return their completed permission forms as soon as possible!
Wishing you all a peaceful, meaningful, and restful weekend,
The Staff of Cedar Lane School

Review and Sign the SR&R by September 30
The FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) booklet explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. This year’s SR&R includes new Universal Grade Matrices, which are at-a-glance charts that make it easier for families to see behavior expectations and school responses for grades K-3, 4-8, and 9-12.
Families, please review the SR&R and discuss these expectations with your child. Be sure to sign the SR&R acknowledgement form by Wednesday, September 30, either by logging into SIS ParentVUE or signing and returning the Signature Sheet to your child’s school.
Learn more by watching a short video about the SR&R (available in English and Spanish) or visiting the SR&R webpage.
Cellphones and Personal Devices
Students may only use a personal device if it is required as part of a necessary accommodation in the students’ Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan. A principal or the principal’s designee may approve a limited, course-specific exception for students enrolled in a specialized class when the curriculum requires a technology tool or software that isn’t available on a standard FCPS-issued device. Learn more about the student device requirement.
