❄️ Bundle Up and Enjoy the Snow!
With the anticipated arrival of snow, it’s the perfect time for some winter magic! Whether your family is going to build the ultimate snowman, heading to the sledding hills, or just catching snowflakes, we hope you have a wonderful time making memories together.
Once the outdoor adventures are done, there’s nothing better than a warm blanket and a big mug of cocoa. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the winter wonderland!
Winter weather will be here before you know it! Watch this video to see how weather closing decisions are made at FCPS.
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible, including email, text, social media, the new FCPS mobile app, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be sure to plan for the winter season. Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE, bookmark the FCPS website, and arrange emergency child care if needed.
⛄ Keep Your Child Warm During Outdoor Activities
We will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside. Make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. View the National Weather Service’s tips on staying safe during cold weather.
If you need assistance getting cold-weather clothing for your family, please call Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and health.
Have you ever wondered exactly how we teach reading in the classroom? We invite you to join us for a special "crash course" on our literacy curriculum!
Come hear from both Primary and Upper literacy coaches as they break down how we teach phonics, fluency, and comprehension. You will get a chance to see the curriculum materials up close and even watch parts of a literacy lesson in action.
