Yom KippurAll FCPS schools and offices will be closed on Monday, September 25, for Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. See the complete school year calendar. Learn more about Yom Kippur on Brittanica.com.
Volunteers Needed for Field DayEach year, the students and teachers take part in a fun-filled day called Field Day. On Field Day, each class goes from station to station, around the school and grass field, participating in different games and events. This year, Weyanoke’s Field Day will take place on Friday, October 6th. We need parent volunteers to help work at the event stations being held at the times below.
- 8:50 a.m. - 11:20 a.m. - Grades Kindergarten, 1, and 2
- 12:50 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. - Grades 3, 4, and 5 and Ms. Proctor’s Class
If you can volunteer, please return the form to your child’s classroom teacher as soon as possible. The deadline for parent volunteers is Monday, October 2nd.
We All Belong at SchoolEach one of us is unique, and every student matters. If your student is having a difficult time attending class, please speak with a trusted adult at school. There are solutions.

✍️ Student Rights and Responsibilities Acknowledgement DueFCPS’ updated Student Rights and Responsibility (SR&R) booklet is available online and in SIS ParentVUE. The SR&R booklet explains expectations for student behavior, and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment.
Each year, we ask parents/caregivers to review and sign the SR&R. The SR&R will be visible upon logging in to SIS ParentVUE until the SR&R acknowledgment has been completed.
Signatures are due by Friday, September 29. Please contact our front office if you are having difficulty accessing the booklet. Visit the SIS ParentVUE Account Overview webpage for help logging in to your account.
✨ 2023-30 Strategic Plan — Goal 5: Leading for Tomorrow's InnovationThe 2023-30 strategic plan sets five student-centered goals to create positive change in FCPS. These five goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts.
Under Goal 5, every student will graduate ready to thrive in life after high school with the skills they need to navigate, adapt, and innovate for a sustainable future. Using data gathered from students, we will ensure they are ready for a wide variety of options for their futures.
Visit FCPS’ Strategic Plan webpage to learn more about how we will measure the success of Goal 5.
