From the Nest...
We celebrated all your hard work and generosity with an amazing Race for Education day on Monday! Students were treated to a Wizard of Oz themed course complete with bubbles, Glinda, a Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Wizard, Wicked Witch, Flying Monkeys, Poppies, and a Rainbow Balloon arch at the end! A sincere thank you to our PTA and Race Committee for organizing and implementing such a special day. It is one that we know our students will remember as they look back on their elementary years!
As of press time, our community has raised close to $30,000, which is absolutely AMAZING! We are holding up our end of the bargain by spending the night on the roof tonight! We hope you’ll join us for a bedtime story or two on our Google Meet link below at 7 PM.
As always, we thank you for your continued support and partnership in our educational program.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Hannah Feldman and Dr. Kathy Swire

Your Child’s Sick? Here’s What to Do!
Please keep your child home if they are ill and email yses.attendance@fcps.org to let the school know that your child is unwell. We ask that you keep your child home for 24 hours after the symptom(s) and, if needed, get them tested for COVID-19.
We thank you for your cooperation in keeping all our students healthy and present for instruction!
Absence Notifications
Beginning back on October 4th, parents/guardians will receive a One Call Now message if their child is marked absent for that school day. This call is automated, and it is possible that if a child enters school later in the day, the call could occur in error. If your child arrives on time and you receive a call, please let the front office know so we can make certain this new process is working as it is intended. If you wish to opt out of this service, listen to the message through to the end for directions.
Dismissal Change Reminders
Anytime there is a change of dismissal, the school must be notified in writing or by phone prior to 3:00 pm. If we do not have this information prior to 3 pm, your child will go home their regular way.
We are requesting that you use yses.attendance@fcps.org for any emails regarding absences or change of dismissal notices. This will ensure that the school receives this information promptly each day. Thank you for your help and understanding!
