A Message from Ms. Laxton, Principal
Families,
It looks like we will finally have five full days of school next week! Thank you for the support as we have navigated holidays, weather, and early releases this month. We are still seeing an increase in cold & flu cases, so please keep your child home if he or she is unwell.
We continue to have a need for substitute teachers, lunch room hosts, and classroom monitors if you are interested in starting a career with FCPS! Please email me if you would like to be considered for one of these positions.

Attention families - looking for a flexible and part-time position? FCPS is hiring AVID tutors for the Spring 2025 semester for Whitman and Sandburg Middle Schools and Mt Vernon and West Potomac High Schools. AVID tutors work with small groups of approximately 5-7 students during the school day in an academic elective class called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). These groups use questioning strategies to help students develop a variety of college preparatory skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. Tutors earn $20.13 per hour and should either be a college graduate or currently enrolled in college. If interested, please email your resume to AVID@fcps.edu.

Student Fasting Meal Kits for February 28 - March 28, 2025
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued a new, first-time waiver allowing students fasting during the school day from February 28 to March 28, 2025, to request take-home breakfast and lunch meal kits. The Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) will provide meal kits reflecting the school menu. Meals will be kept cold and must be heated at home. Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day. If a student purchases breakfast or lunch at school, they cannot pick up a kit that day. Meal kits must be picked up by students at the end of the school day—adults cannot collect them. Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS FNS website by the deadlines:
-
February 24, 2025, for February 28 and the week of March 3, 2025
-
March 3, 2025, for the week of March 10, 2025
-
March 10, 2025, for the week of March 17, 2025
-
March 17, 2025, for the week of March 24, 2025
Forms must be submitted on time to receive meal kits for the following week.
