Dear Sleepy Hollow Families,

I hope you had a wonderful week. I’d like to take a moment to share a few highlights from last week and thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students.

Last week we celebrated National School Social Worker Week, and we were proud to recognize Ms. Ocoa-Paz for the incredible work she does for our school community. Ms. Ocoa-Paz has been instrumental in providing support and assistance to our students and families. Her dedication, compassion, and commitment help ensure that our students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. We are truly grateful to have her as part of our team.

Our 3rd–5th grade students also completed the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. This tool helps us better understand how students are feeling and how we can support their social and emotional development. The information gathered helps our staff identify strengths, determine areas where additional support may be helpful, and guide the planning of programs and resources that benefit our students.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Working together helps us create a positive and supportive learning environment where every child can thrive.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful week ahead.

Warmly,

Principal Vega

We are Family

Kindergarten Orientation

Friday April 10th 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.

Bus Tranportation will be Available

Kindergarten helps children learn and practice the social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. 

Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, in the spring. Eligible children can be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps schools prepare and ensure they have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school. 

If your child will attend our school, please gather necessary documents and complete registration forms as soon as possible. 

FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, please visit the FCPS Registration webpage.

As a listening leader, connecting with community members across our school division is critical to Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid.

Fairfax County Health Department

Measles Update

Measles is a highly contagious virus that infects 9 out of 10 people who are exposed, if unvaccinated or not immune. It has been in the news lately due to cases in Northern Virginia and among people who have traveled through local airports. 

If your spring break or summer plans include traveling abroad or to an area in the United States with high measles activity, the Fairfax County Health Department encourages you to ensure your family is protected. Children 12 months and older should have 1 or 2 doses before traveling. Depending on your specific travel plans, your health care provider may also advise you to vaccinate infants 6 to 11 months old. Read more about these recommendations.
