Dear Families,
October 21st is our second 3-hour Early Release for students. This additional time allows for teachers to complete the trainings required of elementary teachers by the new Virginia Literacy Act. Another component of the Literacy Act is the requirement of a new language arts textbook and curriculum. The additional time on Mondays throughout the year, also allows our teachers to spend time learning about the new textbook and plan with their teams to differentiate the materials for our students' individualized needs. Thank you for supporting us in these Early Release Mondays. We could not be the school we are without your ongoing support. If you have any questions, feel free to visit the FCPS website and learn more about Early Release Mondays.
Thank you,
Mr. Aiello, Ms. Conroy, and Ms. Shin

End of Quarter Teacher Conferences
At the end of the first quarter, our teachers would love to schedule 15-20 minutes to share how your child has been doing at school, their academic progress, and answer any questions you have about their school year. We would also love to learn more about your child and hear what works best for your child at home as you are their first teacher. If you have not scheduled a time with your child's teacher, please feel free to message them using Talking Points or email the principals (smshin@fcps.edu) and we will be happy to help schedule a time that works for you both. Thank you for your continued partnership in helping your child learn and grow!
