Hello Floris Families,
What a fantastic first week of school! I could not be more proud of how smoothly our first week has gone and, most importantly, how our students have embraced the start of a new school year. Throughout the week, I have had the opportunity to see students with smiling faces, building friendships, learning, and enjoying their experience at Floris. The energy and excitement throughout the building have been wonderful to see!
Dr. Reid’s visit this week was an amazing opportunity to showcase the wonderful things happening at Floris. Our Kindergarten team, Amy Albanese, Ms. Moore, and Heather Hubert did a wonderful job representing our school with excellence. They highlighted the thoughtful, engaging, and student-centered learning experiences our students are enjoying each day. We are so proud of the work happening across our school!
As we begin this school year together, I want to thank our families for your partnership, support, and trust. A successful school year is built through a strong partnership between our school and our families, and we are grateful to have you as part of the Floris community.
Thank you for helping make this such a fantastic first week of school! We are off to an incredible start, and I am excited about all that is ahead for our students.
Have a wonderful weekend, Floris Families!
Josh DeSmyter
Principal
Floris Elementary School

✅ Important Action Items ✅
Dismissal Google Form:
Let us know how your child is going home this school year by filling out our Dismissal Google Form if you haven't already.
Parent Consent Portal:
Families can easily grant permission for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. Opt your child in or out of online educational tools and choose how student information is managed. You may also opt in or opt out of after-school care on early release Wednesdays; read more below.
Visit FCPS’ Parent Digital Consent webpage to access the system.
Opt In/Opt Out for Early Release Wednesday Childcare
While we anticipate that most students will be dismissed at 1:00 on limited early release Wednesdays, we recognize that some families may require childcare. These students will be supervised by school-based staff. No new instruction will take place, as after-school care is strictly supervision.
Elementary school parents and caregivers should log in to the Parent Digital Consent system to review and provide consent to a variety of resources and services including Early Release Wednesday Childcare.
- OPT IN if you require childcare on our limited early release Wednesdays.
- OPT OUT if your child will go home (or to childcare arranged with SACC or another provider) at the early release time.
Thank you for your help in getting these done!
The Opt-out for student devices coming home is somewhat confusing. You only have to toggle the button if you would like the device to stay at school. If you are okay with the device coming home, don't touch the button!
Please note: All 1st & 2nd grade devices will automatically stay at school.
