BMP Family Science Night

Ready for a night of discovery? The Children’s Science Center Lab expertly delivers the legendary Family Science Night at Bren Mar Park ES - a dazzling, 90-minute deep dive into science! We take care of absolutely everything, from corralling our amazing volunteers to transporting 12 mind-blowing, hands-on STEM activities. Located in the gym, our volunteers will be creating a free-roaming exploration zone where K-5 families can jump into activities at their leisure. We're turning abstract concepts into tangible, unforgettable fun, igniting a spark in your students that will fuel their journey to becoming the innovators of tomorrow!

This is funded because we are a Title 1 school!  Learn more at https://www.childsci.org/plan-your-visit/educators/family-science-night

Children must be accompanied by a supervising adult.

Prepare for Winter Weather

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 childcare 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.
