KINDNESS WEEK - February 24-28

Providence will be celebrating Virginia Kindness Week next week.

We will celebrate the week with daily themes (see below), tips for students, and an opportunity to perform random acts of Kindness throughout our school and community.

Kindness Week is to recognize that simple day-to-day acts of Kindness enable our schools, communities and state to be a kinder, safer, healthier, happier and a more inclusive place to live, work, learn and play. Practicing and celebrating kindness is to look for the good, bridge connections across differences, restore hope, and empower people to make communities strong and resilient. Physiologically, kindness, can positively change our brain for the better!

Being kind boosts our serotonin and dopamine levels, which are neurotransmitters in the brain that give you feelings of satisfaction and well- being and also causes the pleasure/reward centers of our brain to light up! Being kind not only helps others but, helps us too!!

(VA Department of Education, 2025).

Student Fasting Meal Kits

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued a new, first-time waiver allowing students fasting during the school day from February 28 to March 28, 2025, to request take-home breakfast and lunch meal kits. The Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) will provide meal kits reflecting the school menu. Meals will be kept cold and must be heated at home. Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day. If a student purchases breakfast or lunch at school, they cannot pick up a kit that day. Meal kits must be picked up by students at the end of the school day—adults cannot collect them. Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS FNS website by the deadlines:

February 24, 2025, for February 28 and the week of March 3, 2025
March 3, 2025, for the week of March 10, 2025
March 10, 2025, for the week of March 17, 2025

PTA BINGO Night Virginia’s Student Assessment Summary for Families

This month, families of students who took any Standards of Learning (SOL) test between school years 2015-16 and 2023-24 will receive a Student Assessment Summary Report. The report shows a student’s state percentile ranking for each test. This allows families to see how their child ranked compared to all Virginia students who took the same test that year.

Reports are available now in SIS ParentVUE Documents. They will be distributed by schools this month to students whose families do not have ParentVUE access. Learn how to access ParentVUE.

The report is intended to help families reflect on how their child performed across all tested subjects over the years. Our schools and staff are committed to working with families to support every student to succeed at their highest potential. Learn more about student assessments in FCPS.

Social Media & Messaging Platforms

GovDelivery3 weeks 4 days ago

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

As technology continues to shape our lives, it's crucial to have open conversations with our children about its impact. This letter aims to provide some guidance on navigating the world of social media with your elementary-aged children.

Why this conversation matters:

Early Exposure: Many social media platforms are designed for older audiences and may contain content that is inappropriate or harmful for young children.
Privacy Concerns: Children may not fully understand the implications of sharing personal information online, which can pose privacy risks.
Mental Health: Constant social media and messaging can impact a child's self-esteem, body image, and sleep patterns.
Cyberbullying: Children can be exposed to cyberbullying, online harassment, and other forms of online negativity.

Tips for parents:

Open Communication:

Start early: Begin discussions about online safety and digital citizenship from a young age.
Be approachable: Encourage your child to come to you with any questions or concerns they may have about online experiences.

Set Clear Limits:

Age-appropriate platforms: Consider age restrictions and guidelines provided by different social media platforms.
Screen time limits: Establish reasonable limits for screen time, including social media usage.
Device-free zones: Designate specific times and places where devices are not allowed, such as mealtimes and bedrooms.

Monitor and Supervise:

Co-viewing: Watch social media content with your child and discuss it together.
Review privacy settings: Help your child understand and adjust their privacy settings on social media platforms.
Utilize parental controls: Explore parental control features available on devices and platforms to monitor and restrict online activity.

Focus on Digital Citizenship:

Teach online etiquette: Emphasize the importance of being kind, respectful, and responsible online.
Discuss online safety: Teach children about the dangers of sharing personal information online, cyberbullying, and online predators.
Promote critical thinking: Encourage children to think critically about the information they encounter online and to evaluate its source and credibility.

Resources:

We encourage you to partner with us in guiding your child through the digital world. Please reach out to your child's teacher or the school counselor if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Pratt, Ms. Hickey, Ms. Suitte, Ms. Kelleher

Providence History Fair

Friday, December 20 is the last day to register for the History Fair. This first-of-its-kind fair at PES lets students choose a history topic they do not know much about and explore the past by doing research at their local museum, library, historical place, or online.

The History Fair will take place on Thursday, February 13 from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. For more information and to sign-up, this link. Open to students in grades 2-6.

Cold Weather Guidance

If you need assistance supplying your child with cold-weather clothing our Family Liaison, Piedad Dwyer ([email protected]) is happy to support you.

Note From the Clinic

This is the time of year when we expect to see an increase in the number of respiratory illnesses in our community, including coughs, colds, sore throats, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza. This fall, we are also seeing a rise in pediatric pneumonia. If your child has a fever, a cough that is worsening or you have concerns that their “common cold” is something more, please take them to a medical provider for evaluation and diagnosis.

We are also seeing an increase in gastrointestinal viruses. Vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration, which can be dangerous. It is important to stay hydrated when ill. GI viruses are very contagious, so it is important to follow these tips.

To help prevent the spread of illnesses:

Look for signs of illness in your child.
Keep children home when they are ill to prevent the illness from spreading to others. If your child has a fever, they should remain home until the fever has been gone for 24 hours (without fever-reducing medications) and they feel well enough to attend a full day of school.
Keep children home when they are experiencing vomiting or diarrhea. They may return to school 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting and/or Diarrhea
Teach your child how to stop the spread of illness by washing their hands often, covering their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. For Gastrointestinal illnesses, washing hands with soap and water is the best practice, not hand sanitizer.
Stay up-to-date on immunizations.

Providence History Fair

The PES History Fair on February 13 is an opportunity for students in grades 2 -- 6 to research and share what they learned about any history-related subject. Students choose their own topics, which can be historical events (e.g., Revolutionary War), people (e.g., Ada Lovelace), cultures (e.g., Mayan civilization), or other subjects (e.g., history of soccer).

Students can work by themselves or with a group of friends. Projects will take the form of some kind of display like a poster or diorama. Dress-up/reenactments are also encouraged!

Optional study sessions will be held after school on Thursdays in January for those students who need assistance or dedicated time to prepare.

For more information and to sign-up, use this link. The deadline to register to participate in the History Fair is Friday, December 20.

Cold Weather Guidance

If you need assistance supplying your child with cold-weather clothing our Family Liaison, Piedad Dwyer ([email protected]) is happy to support you.

Attendance

With the winter break approaching, it is essential to reiterate the importance of consistent school attendance for our students. Studies have repeatedly proven that students with better attendance records perform better in school and are more likely to graduate high school on time.

Students who have 18 or more absences, whether excused or unexcused, are considered chronically absent, resulting in the need for a school based conference and an attendance plan to be developed.

Please read the tips below to support regular school attendance and foster a positive attitude in your student regarding school and education:

Establish routines that help reduce stress.
Maintain strong connections with friends and teachers to ensure prompt communication in case of any concern or emergency.
Provide us with your updated email address and phone number.
Review your student’s attendance record regularly and make necessary adjustments after tardiness or medical appointments to your school office.

AAP Connections

Parents/guardians of students in Grades 2-7 who would like their student to be considered for Full-Time advanced academic programs may submit the AAP Full-Time Referral Form to our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, Nicole Hanton at [email protected] no later than December 15, 2024.

Note From the Clinic

To help prevent the spread of illnesses:

Look for signs of illness in your child.
Keep children home when they are ill to prevent the illness from spreading to others. If your child has a fever, they should remain home until the fever has been gone for 24 hours (without fever-reducing medications) and they feel well enough to attend a full day of school.
Keep children home when they are experiencing vomiting or diarrhea. They may return to school 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting and/or Diarrhea
Teach your child how to stop the spread of illness by washing their hands often, covering their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. For Gastrointestinal illnesses, washing hands with soap and water is the best practice, not hand sanitizer.
Stay up-to-date on immunizations.

FCPS Elementary Language Arts Grading

ES Grading Update for 2024-2025

This year, FCPS has new ways of teaching reading and writing to our students. We also have new ways to know if students need extra support and how we can best help them. Schools will still use the same 4-point scale to assign grades; please refer to the Grading Guidelines for more details.

Starting in November 2024, your child’s progress report grades may look different due to the changes below.

NOTE: Students are not expected to master all of their grade-level standards until later in the year. By monitoring grades in each standard the whole school year, you can get a clearer picture of areas where they need to grow most, as well as their overall progress in literacy. Contact your child's teacher with any questions about your child’s progress report.

New Language Arts Curriculum

Before: the FCPS Planning and Pacing Guide covered different standards each quarter.
Current: FCPS now uses Benchmark Advance. It covers all standards each quarter, building towards mastery. Fewer standards will be marked Not Taught (NT) or Not Assessed (NA)

New K-3 Literacy Screener

Before:

Kindergarten: PALS
Grades 1-6: iReady

Current:

Grades K-3: Virginia Language and Literacy Screening System (VALLSS); VALLSS may show more specific areas in which your child needs support.
Grades 3-6: iReady

New Virginia Standards of Learning

Before: Measured overlapping skills on any text. Sometimes standards were assessed with below-grade level text.
Current: The Virginia Board of Education approved the 2024 English Standards of Learning at their March 28, 2024, business meeting. The new standards measure separate skills using on-grade level text. Grades reflect how well students meet grade-level expectations

Thanksgiving Luncheon at Providence

Join us in November for our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon.

Parents with students in kindergarten through 2nd grade may join their students for a turkey feast on Wednesday, November 20th.

Parents with students in grades 3 -6, may join their students for a turkey feast on Thursday, November 21st.
