- January 20th - Martin Luther king Jr.'s Birthday
- January 29th - Teacher Workday, Student Holiday
 |
|
On the third Monday of January people throughout the United States join in honoring the life and works of Dr. Martin Luther King. As we witness a world in struggle under the weight of violence, hate and poverty, today’s social, political and economic landscape reveals the relevance of Dr. King’s life and work. This history is a foundational part of American history. Students deserve meaningful, sustained opportunities to learn about the experiences and contributions of Dr. King year-round, and the celebration of this Day of Service is an opportunity to honor his work and legacy by actively participating in making our communities cleaner, safer and more welcoming. |
Let's spread positivity throughout our school community! Submit your FCPS Cares recognition today and let our staff know how much you appreciate them.
Every Day Counts at Powell ES!

To ensure transparency and celebrate our progress, we will be sharing weekly attendance data in our newsletter. By highlighting this important information, we aim to keep our families informed and energized about our collective efforts to reduce absenteeism and prevent students from becoming chronically absent.
Chronic absenteeism is when a student has missed 10% or more of the school days in the school year. This includes all absences, regardless of whether they are excused and unexcused. Research shows that students who are chronically absent are at higher risk of falling behind and dropping out of school.
We care deeply about all of our students and aim for success for each student. Our partnership to support regular school attendance is critical to that success. Please follow the health policy and send your children to school every day.
