Mark Your Calendar!

Tuesday, June 16: 6th Grade Promotion Reception (Cafeteria)

Tuesday, June 17: Last Day of School - 2-Hour Early Release 2:05 pm

End of the Year Medication Pick UP

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school (June 17, 2026 at 2:10pm).

Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site  on  the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

PAC Schedule Change: New Early Release Days for 2026-27

As we look ahead to the 2026-27 school year, we want to share an important schedule change for the Preschool Autism Class (PAC) to give you plenty of time to prepare over the summer: 

Starting August 24, 2026, early release days for PAC students will shift to Tuesdays and Thursdays (previously Mondays and Wednesdays).

Next Steps for Families:

We know how important routines and scheduling are for our families. Please take some time this summer to: 

• Update Childcare: Adjust any afternoon childcare or after-school plans.
• Coordinate Transportation: Update any private transportation arrangements for Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Questions?

We’re here to support you through this transition. If you have questions or need assistance with planning, please reach out to your child’s teacher or the school’s main office. 

Calendar Survey

FCPS values your input as we plan future school calendars. On Friday, June 5, all caregivers and FCPS staff will receive an email from noreply@fcps.edu containing a unique link to complete the FCPS Calendar Survey.

Your feedback matters. Please take a few minutes to share your priorities and perspectives by Monday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m.

Your individual responses will be kept confidential and will not be shared with school staff or used in any way that identifies you or your student. Only aggregate, summary-level results will be reported to the Fairfax County School Board.

If you do not receive a link to the survey or have technical difficulties completing the survey, please contact the FCPS Office of Research and Program Evaluation.

Please Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance

It’s a busy time of year, and we know many priorities are on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.

Free and Reduced-Price Meals

Families who earn less than 185% of the federal poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit.  

If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer.

Registering families will be required to provide insurance information, if applicable, but students without insurance may still participate.
