It's hard to believe that the 2013-2014 school will be starting so soon!  

School begins on Monday, August 19th.  Please refer to your child's teacher placement letter which will be mailed home sometime in early to mid August.  On this letter is a staggered start date for your child.  This means that your child will only attend school 1 out of the first 3 days.  1/3 of the students attend on Monday, 1/3 of the students attend on Tuesday, and 1/3 of the students attend on Wednesday; then all children will attend school thereafter.  This process makes it easier for your child to make friends and have a smoother transition into Kindergarten.

If you have not signed up for the FindOut First resource, please do so.  Visit the "Websites for Parents" page.  You will find lots of useful tools here.  

Also, FCPS has a great Back-to-School one-stop webpage at www.fcps.org/backtoschool.
