Officer Epple instructed Mrs. Cobey's class on car safety and the importance of wearing seatbelts. The students sat in the police car and practiced 'clicking' their seatbelts. SRO Epple gave each student a sticker and safety activity book too!

Comprehensive Planning for FCPS 2029 is Underway
Today, Monday, February 26, 2024, faculty and staff representatives worked in focus groups to analyze division-wide data they'd collected in the areas of Excellence in Education, Exemplary Staff, School & Community, Health & Wellness, and Facilities & Operations. Their highlights were shared with the larger group, and then focus groups planned edits to their documents by asking questions like:
Have we met the previous objectives? Are there objectives that are no longer needed? What needs to be added? Who is responsible for monitoring?
Focus groups also identified the data they used to determine their recommendations.
Mr. Slim from Wolf Trap visited Lafayette's kindergarten classes. Mr. Slim worked with students making instruments and using them to create repeating patterns as well as integrating rhythm and rhyme. They had fun square dancing and playing instruments.

Mrs. Taylor's 3rd grade class enjoyed learning about coding and using Ozobots. Students put the words in sequence from a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quote and completed a color code for the Ozobots to follow. This was a fun way to begin Black History Month.
