Dear Sleepy Hollow Families,
It’s hard to believe we are already approaching the end of the first quarter! Our students continue to amaze us with their growth, curiosity, and joy for learning. I am so proud of the progress we see each day, and deeply grateful for your ongoing partnership and support that make it all possible.
We have some exciting family events coming up soon that we hope you’ll join us for! These gatherings are wonderful opportunities to connect, celebrate, and strengthen the sense of community that makes Sleepy Hollow such a special place. Please keep an eye out for details from your child’s teacher and our PTA—we look forward to seeing you there!
As we close the quarter, I also want to remind everyone that Parent-Teacher Conferences are around the corner. These conversations are an important time to discuss your child’s progress, strengths, and goals for the months ahead. If you haven’t already, please reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule a conference time that works for your family.
Finally, I’d like to encourage you to take a moment to nominate an outstanding Sleepy Hollow teacher or staff member who has made a difference for your child this year or in a prior year. Our team works tirelessly to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment, and your recognition means so much.
Thank you for your continued partnership, encouragement, and trust. It is an honor to serve this amazing community where we truly are a family—one that learns, grows, and celebrates together. Somo una familia!

Disinfecting Wipes
On October 8, 2025, The Office of Safety and Security amended Fact Sheet SEH-43 “School Cleaning Protocols” to reflect that Lysol/Clorox-type disinfectant wipes are not to be handled by students at any time. As with all chemicals and chemical products, directions on product labels should be followed at all times. Teachers and staff have been informed of this new FCPS guidance that the use of disinfectant wipes is not permitted by students. Parents are encouraged not to supply disinfecting wipes to classrooms.
