What a way to end the month of January! I hope all of our NFES families have been able to safely dig out of the snow and ice from last weekend's storm. Our Custodians have been working diligently to clear the school's roads and sidewalks.
As we return to school next week, please be aware that we still have some snow on the school grounds. This means arrival and dismissal will likely take longer than usual, and we ask for your patience as we work to safely get our students in and out of the building.
Please note that the 2nd grading period has been extended, making February 3rd the last day of the quarter. Students will bring their Progress Reports home on Wednesday, February 11th.
Sincerely,
Angela Thompson
Principal

It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
Kindergarten helps children learn and practice the social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives.
Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, in the spring. Eligible children can be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps schools prepare and ensure they have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
If your child will attend our school, please gather necessary documents and complete registration forms as soon as possible. For registration questions, please contact Ms. Jessi Padua, Student Information Assistant, at jpadua@fcps.edu.
FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, please visit the FCPS Registration webpage.
Student Transfer Renewal Applications
Open February 15
A student registered in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is expected to attend the school assigned to the student’s home address. The local or base school can be identified by the FCPS Boundary Locator.
However, an enrolling parent may request a student transfer for their child in grades kindergarten through 12 to attend a non-base school. Student transfers will be considered if the school capacity, grade-level capacity, and the school curricular program at the requested school will permit, as determined by FCPS.
- February 15 - April 1: renewal applications open
- March 1- June 1: initial/new applications open
Please visit https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps/registration/student-transfer-information for more information about student transfers.
FCPS Cares is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story so we can all acknowledge the good work of our Newington Forest staff members. |
