A Message from Ms. Kirkland
Happy Friday, Mount Eagle! We had a busy week of learning, full of new discoveries. Students are finishing up their beginning of the year assessments, and in the coming weeks, teachers will be meeting with caregivers to share information about what your child can do and what they are working on. If you have not yet scheduled a parent conference, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher.
Next week is an uninterrupted week for students. Thank you for working to make sure your child is in school every day on time. We work hard to leverage every instructional minute with our students, and your children's consistent attendance is key to their success.
I hope you enjoy a lovely fall weekend! As always, I am grateful for your partnership.

⏰ Take the School Start Times Survey
FCPS is continuing to explore options for adjusting school start times, with the primary goal of beginning the middle school day at 8 a.m. or later. In order to minimize any costs associated with this change, elementary and high school start times would need to shift as well.
Providing feedback opportunities for the community is a critical part of this effort. Since 2024, FCPS’ consultant has hosted five community forums and administered two surveys. A new School Start Times Survey is open and includes two options that are designed to support student well-being, align with research, balance transportation logistics, and minimize costs.
Staff, parents and caregivers, students, and community members may provide input on the two options by taking the survey. The survey deadline has been extended to Monday, October 6. Find more information on adjusting school start times on the FCPS website.
