This week, we began our All School Morning Meeting! Every Wednesday, we gather as a community with a greeting, a share, an activity and news and announcements. It was fun to watch students move up to their new grade level section and see the excitement on their faces.

A Message from Ms. Consolla

Today, our hearts and thoughts are especially tuned toward remembrance as we reflect on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Living so close to Washington, D.C., our local community was deeply impacted by the tragic events of that day. Moments like these remind us of the preciousness of life, the strength of our community, and the beauty of supporting one another. To all the active-duty military members, veterans, and first responders within our Fort Hunt family: we offer our deepest gratitude for your selflessness, courage, and daily service to keep us safe. You embody the very best of us, and we are forever grateful.  We will never forget.

Our hearts are also filled with sadness upon hearing about the loss of a middle school student who was killed in a traffic accident while heading home after school. It is a reminder about how important it is to maintain and model safe behaviors, especially at dismissal. Today I saw several families crossing in between cars to get over to Toll Bridge Ct. As a community, we need to help each other out and give reminders to only cross at the crosswalk. Thank you to those families that are taking the time to cross there. 

In our classrooms, our students are working hard on their beginning-of-year assessments in math and language arts. These assessments provide teachers with valuable information about students’ strengths and areas for growth and help us plan instruction that meets their needs.

Beginning next month, teachers will begin scheduling family conferences to share information about your child’s progress and, just as importantly, to hear about your hopes and dreams for your child this school year. Families are essential partners in our students’ success, and we look forward to these conversations. Be on the lookout for communication from your child’s teacher in the coming weeks with information about scheduling a conference.

Thank you for your partnership in your child's education at Fort Hunt.
