Quietly reigning supreme in the kingdom of books, our WGMS librarian, 📚Emily Moore, deserves a royal celebration on National Librarian Day! Long live the queen of the stacks!
On Monday, April 8, the rare solar eclipse will occur at the end of the school day for some students and while others will be transitioning home either by bus, car, or walking. Our concern is everyone’s safety. We know it would be tempting for some students to look at the sun which could cause injury without eye protection. We also know that many parents would like to experience the solar eclipse with their children. For these reasons, we will close schools early on Monday, April 8. This early dismissal will allow students to arrive home safely.
Elementary schools will dismiss at 12:45pm and middle and high schools will dismiss at 12:00pm. Preschool Programs will dismiss at 12:00pm.
We hope students and families take the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary, natural phenomenon. More information on safe viewing will be coming to our FCPS families.
April is our diversity month! Each school will have different events throughout the month. Please pay attention to your school’s communications and calendar about these events.
As a division, we will have a trivia contest, a family event, and our Multicultural week from April 22nd to the 26th. This year we will be celebrating the 53 countries where our students have been born by wearing specific colors!
Monday April 22nd: yellow and red
Tuesday April 23rd: white and green
Wednesday April 24th: blue and white
Thursday April 25th: blue and red
Friday April 26th: red and white
More information about the other events will be posted in the following weeks!
