Budget Awareness -
Fairfax County Community Dialogue Sat 11/14 from 10am - noon @ KP Public Library
Are you aware that Fairfax County Public Schools anticipates having to face a budget deficit of $100 to $200 million for FY 2011 (next school year)? During the FY 2010 budget cycle (current school year), FCPS closed a budget deficit of $200 million.  If the school system has to make additional cuts for the FY 2011 budget, it will be the third consecutive year that the FCPS budget has been cut. 
The list of the possible cuts include reducing full day kindergarten to half day, eliminating summer school, elementary band and strings, school based technology specialists, raising class sizes, and charging activity (Athletic) fees.

Keeping Healthy
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), has produced two videos to inform parents of steps they can take to prevent the transmission of H1N1 influenza (also known as “swine flu”) and seasonal influenza.
The videos — “H1N1 for Parents” and “H1N1 for Educators” — are available for viewing on the VDOE H1N1 influenza Web site at this address: http://www.doe.virginia.gov/support/health_medical/influenza/index.shtml

Also, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is working with the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) to monitor the progression of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza (swine flu) .

Gifted and Talented Program
Level 4 Center Referrals are due by February 5. No late referrals will be accepted. Referral forms can be downloaded off the Advanced Academic website at http://www.fcps.edu/DIS/gt


School bus policy
Due to the consolidation of bus routes, and in order to help ensure the safety of our Gator Students riding buses, we will not be able to allow any children to ride any other bus other than their own, until further notice. We hope to resume allowing children to make special transportation plans (i.e. riding home on a friend's bus) in the near future, as long as written parental permission is received from both children's parents.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Respectfully,
Sam Elson Principal
