❄️Cold Weather SafetyWe monitor temperature, wind chill and weather alerts to make the most sound decisions about recess each day. Student safety is always our top priority. As you know with the renovation, many of our students have to spend time outside walking from their classrooms to the main building. We need your help in making sure students are prepared for the outdoors by wearing coats, gloves, hats etc. If your child needs a winter coat, please contact Dr. Aste. We love fresh air, but also need to stay warm/safe during this cold season.

💻Schoology Tip: Viewing Your Child's AccountThank you to all the parents who attended the PTA meeting and heard the presentation from Mr. Ward about ways to access your child’s school information. Below you can find links and helpful hints from his presentation for accessing our many FCPS parent resources.
Did you know that having a parent account in Schoology is actually like having two accounts? One is your personal account, with your own name and information, and the other is a view into your child's account. (Check out the video link below for a walkthrough!)
You can view Schoology from your child’s perspective, and see some of what they see, including classwork and upcoming due dates, and receive updates about their activity.
You can learn more about Schoology on the main FCPS page. You must have a SIS ParentVUE account to log into Schoology (the username and password will be the same.)
