A Message from Mr. Wright
Dear Fitzgerald Elementary Community,
As we approach our winter break, a time for connection and shared experiences, I would like to emphasize the importance of regular attendance for your child. Please ensure that your child maintains consistent attendance during this period. The official winter break starts on Wednesday, December 21 and ends on January 1.
To stay updated on your child's academic performance, please access ParentVUE. We have reached the halfway point of the academic quarter, and grades should now be available. If you don't see any grades, feel free to reach out to your child's classroom teacher. If you require login information for ParentVUE or encounter any difficulties, please contact the front office at 703-583-4195.
Our school, Fannie W Fitzgerald Elementary, is thriving, thanks to the combined efforts of our dedicated staff and the support of our community. I encourage you to take a moment to review the newsletter in its entirety to witness the success stories of our school. Together, we are making Fannie W Fitzgerald Elementary the best place to connect, experience, and thrive. Our students have been performing exceptionally well this year, surpassing the average, and we owe this achievement to the outstanding work of our staff and your unwavering support. Go Fitzgerald!
Sincerely,
George Wright
Principal, Fitzgerald Elementary
