Encourage your child to complete the activity sheet(sent home by their teacher) and return it to the library upon return to school and they will earn a frosty surprise. Whether it's snowy adventures, holiday tales, or winter mysteries, there’s a book for everyone! Let’s make this winter break a time for learning, imagination, and lots of reading fun.

Services for Hearing-Impaired and Visually-Impaired Students
Students with sensory disabilities require specialized services and support to access instruction that is typically presented visually and auditorily (by means of hearing). FCPS provides educational services to students who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or visually impaired. They are supported in various settings, including at their school or through itinerant specialists who travel to different schools to work with students, rather than being based in a single school. Learn more about Services for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and Services for Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired.
Visit the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) website for Resources for Serving Students with Sensory Disabilities.
