Movie Night was a big hit! The weather was beautiful, and the movie was great. Our kids had a wonderful time seeing their friends after hours and enjoying a fun evening together. A huge thank-you to the PTO for organizing such a fantastic event, and special thanks to Mr. Chinn for the setup and to our custodians for their help in making the night a success. We appreciate everyone who came out and helped make it such a memorable evening!

Vision and Hearing Screenings
Vision and Hearing Screenings will be held on Oct. 21, 22 and 24 (Tues., Wed. and Fri.) for all Kindergarten students, and Oct. 27-29 (Mon.-Wed.) for all 3rd Grade students. Students who are new to FCPS will be screened as well. The purpose of screening is to identify students who need further evaluation due to difficulty seeing the screening chart or hearing the screening tones. If your child wears glasses, please be sure that their glasses are at school on screening day. Parents will be notified by letter if screening results indicate that further evaluation is needed. Prompt follow-up with your health care provider is recommended as vision and hearing difficulties can interfere with learning. If you would like to assist as a volunteer with the screening process, please sign up here for Kindergarten and sign up here for 3rd Grade. No experience is needed. Same day training will be provided. Thank you.
