We look forward to celebrating all you have done this year. Along with each student’s work, please send the name and grade of the student. We ask all FSP families to participate by bringing something to display. This year we are adding a drama presentation by our SOAR middle and high school drama class, Romeo and Juliet, and a fun Kindergarten and 8th grade graduation ceremony.

Inclement Weather Policy

With the weather being so unpredictable this time of year: Just a reminder that if MCPS cancels on a Friday, SOAR classes will be cancelled too. If there is a 2-hr delay, the likely scenario is that Candy’s 9:00 English class will be cancelled but Amanda’s 10:45 art class will go on. But we will always do our best to send clear communication via email if there are any schedule changes due to weather! If FSP has an event on a day that MCPS schools have closed due to weather our event will be cancelled or moved to virtual.

Onsite Mid Year Reviews

We are coming up on the end of the first semester. The scheduled end of the semester is January 20th. We have reserved classrooms here at Covenant Life for Saturday January 27, 2024 from 8am to 1pm. Your reviewer will be contacting you to schedule your mid year review. They may or may not be scheduling their reviews for this date and time. This is made available for your and your reviewer’s convenience but you can have your mid year review at another time. Be sure to schedule your mid year with your reviewer for a time that works best for you and her. This is a time to check in with you to see how your year is going and if you need any further help or support. This is NOT a time to bring lots of work samples or grades. It is more a time for your reviewer to get an update from you and make sure you are moving at a pace that will allow you to complete the year well. Please be on the lookout for an email from your reviewer.
