Wow! This week was a fantastic way to end a terrific school year! Our 5th and 6th grade students performed so wonderfully in band, strings and chorus on Monday. On Wednesday and Thursday, our kids enjoyed so many fun games and activities at field day. On Wednesday night, our 3rd and 4th grade strings and 4th grade band presented a lovely concert to a full house of supportive parents. Thank you so much to ALL of the parent volunteers that helped make our field days such a success! It was an exciting school year filled with so many successes and most importantly, filled with joy!
I hope you have a safe, happy and restful summer. High five for our Mosaic family! Thank you for an amazing year.

📚Library Books Now DueAll library books were due back to the Mosaic Library by Monday, June 3. Overdue notices will be emailed to the enrolling parent after this date. Please look for the notices and reach out to Mrs. Brown. If you have questions or wish to report a lost book. Thank you very much!
💻Student Laptop Return
All FCPS-issued student laptops, chargers, and MiFi devices should be returned to the student's homeroom teacher by Monday, June 10th. Students attending FCPS summer school and summer school related programs can keep their FCPS-issued laptops and MiFi until the last day of their summer program.
Parents are financially responsible for the replacement cost of a new device to replace any FCPS device or charger components not returned at the end of the school year. Please email Robert Sarinana (TSSpec) for next steps if your child has lost a laptop or power adapter.
💊Medication ReturnThe 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 (1:15 p.m.) on the last day of school - June 12th. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online.

Chantilly Academy will host an AFA CyberCamp from Monday, June 24, to Friday, June 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

🥗 Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance!It’s a busy time of year, and we know there are many priorities on families’ plates. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important for families to remember to check their students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Families who earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2024-25 school year will be available near the end of August.
If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2024-25 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price lunch.
If you are interested in helping to relieve lunch debt for families currently going through the FRM application process, please donate to Educate Fairfax.
