End of Year Celebration Rodeo
Thank you, PTO, for the wonderful end-of-year event and Fairfax 250 for being one of our sponsors. The rodeo was a blast!
Several of our classes went out to pick strawberries from the sensory garden, and Mr. Thomason did too. Thank you Ms. Bess for maintaining this space.

As the end of the school year approaches, one of our important tasks is to determine class placements for the following year. The school staff works collaboratively to plan teacher and student assignments, and we would like to have your input. Please select five characteristics you would like to see in your child’s teacher. Keep in mind that placement decisions are made with your child's individual strengths in mind. We strive to create classes that are as balanced as possible considering what we know about the students we serve. We will do as much as we can to accommodate requests, and we will defer to grade level teachers. Please use this link to respond. We ask that you honor the deadline of Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 8:00pm
Field Day is coming!
What is field day? It is a time where classes will be spread throughout the school property during their designated time and day during school hours. Students will be participating in games/activities they have done throughout this school year in their PE class. We encourage students to demonstrate good sportsmanship, cooperation and to have fun!
On this day students should wear appropriate clothes and shoes for movement and to bring their hat/sunglasses and their water bottle. We want students to stay hydrated during their field day.
Field Day for grades 4-5-6 will be Tuesday, June 9 at 9:20-11:40am.
Field Day for grades 2-3 will be Tuesday, June 9 at 1:10-2:40pm.
Field Day for grades K-1 will be Wednesday, June 10 at 1:20-2:50pm.
If there is inclement weather, Field Day will still occur on the same day, but the times will be adjusted, and it will be held indoors.

Please Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance
It’s a busy time of year, and we know many priorities are on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Families who earn less than 185% of the poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer.
If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year.

Additional Mental Health Resources
FCPS has resources available to support your child’s mental health. During after-school hours, parents and students who need additional support can use the 988 Lifeline to get free, confidential guidance from trained crisis counselors on how to best help someone experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis.

Recent reports have shared an 11% drop in suicides among young people since the rollout of 988. Please note, the hotline is not only for those experiencing suicidal ideation (or thoughts), it is also available for any mental health or substance abuse-related crisis and those with a loved one experiencing those crises or suicidal thoughts.
