Kings Park Families,
Our first graders were thrilled to welcome over 100 guests to their Morning Meetings last Friday. Families got a chance to join in morning routines, share in classroom activities and see their children’s learning in action. We hope to see many of our Kindergarten families at this Friday’s Morning Meeting event.
We also hope to see many of you arriving in style for Walk, Bike and Roll to School Day tomorrow - Wednesday, October 8th. This fun event promotes healthy habits and helps our students start the day with energy and excitement. Let’s break in those sneakers and fill up the bike rack, Lions!

Every Day Is a Stepping Stone to Success
Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child later in life. It’s a good habit to build now to help them graduate from college on time and routinely report to work on time once they have a career.
Please take a look at the FCPS Calendar. Try to schedule any trips or family events on weekends and school holidays. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students who are absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered “chronically absent.”
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or appointment, you must report the absence to our school in ParentVUE, by calling 703-426-7070 or emailing KingsParkESAttendance@fcps.edu.
 Walk, Bike and Roll to School on October 8th
Walk, Bike and Roll to School Day is tomorrow, October 8th! We encourage participants to plan a safe route in advance. A fun way to celebrate this day is to form a “walking train” with other Kings Park friends! Meet at the bike racks (to the left of the main entrance) at 8:20am to celebrate.
Bus transportation will still be available and will follow the same route schedules. Kiss and Ride will still be available.
