Dear Cardinal Families,

Winter weather is here! As a reminder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy time outdoors. We monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside for activities like recess or physical education.

If you need assistance getting cold-weather clothing for your family, please contact our family liaison, Ms. Lilethe Palza, at lscastellonp@fcps.edu. You may also contact Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) at 703-222-0880. Their multilingual staff can assist with any challenges you are facing, including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, and health care. 

For more information, check out Fairfax County’s Winter Weather/Extreme Cold safety tips. 

Warmly, 

Allison Hoak, Principal

Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal
