Events, information to keep you informed, and school highlights
Bus Notes: Students may ride only the school bus to which they are assigned. Inviting friends home via the school bus makes it difficult for schools and bus drivers to account for students and can cause bus capacity problems. In an emergency situation only, school principals may approve a parental request allowing a child to ride another bus. Bus drivers can honor the request only if they receive a parent note that is also signed/approved by the school administration. Transportation to jobs, social meetings, non-school sporting events or practice remains a parental responsibility. At Least 24 hours notice is needed to change the bus a student will ride.
Internship: There will be an informational meeting regarding the Science Internships for next year (2017-2018) for both National Cancer Institute (NCI) and USAMRIID (Army) on Tuesday, November 14th during Knightquest. This will be held in Mrs. Gibson's room - Room 436. Please contact Mrs. Gibson to be requested for this meeting (alisa.gibson@fcps.org) or stop by Room 315 during your lunch to sign up.
