If you would like to volunteer in the library next school year, please let me know. We need volunteers for the morning and afternoon shifts in order for the scholars to be able to visit the library.

Calling All 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Students and Families! |
There is a new program for our Middle School scholars called Xello. While it is new to FCCS, this is replacing Naviance, which has been used by FCPS for many years. Xello is used as a tool to help students learn about themselves and their interests in the early grade levels and to help plan for college applications and their future, once in high school.
Myself, and Mr. St. Paul, our Career Coach, will be working in Xello with middle school scholars throughout the school year. Here is a link to the Xello website if you would like to explore the program. |
