Principal's Message

Dear Lake Anne Families,

It is hard to believe we are so close to the end of the 2025–2026 school year! As we head into these final weeks, we want to thank you for sharing your children with us, for your partnership, and for the strong sense of community and support you show each day.

We hope you have enjoyed the long holiday weekend with your family and friends. When students return on Thursday, May 28, we will continue maximizing our instructional time to ensure a strong finish to the school year, while also making time for special end-of-year events like Field Day, classroom celebrations, and the South Lakes High School Grad Walk.

Warmly,

Mrs. Jill Stewart, Principal
Mrs. Valencia Chenier, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Leslie Grumbach, Assistant Principal

School Health Room Updates

The school health room is reminding parents/guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up by dismissal time on the last day of school, June 17, 2026. If your student is enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form may be used for the summer program. Parents will need to pick up the medication and deliver it to the summer learning site.

Medication authorization forms for school year 26-27 are available online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. This form is required for any prescription, or over-the-counter medication. Please refer to information about medication procedures on the back of the form. All over-the-counter medication must be unopened in an original container. No more than 100 pills/tablets should be brought to school. All prescription medications must be labeled by the pharmacist or health care provider and match the orders on the medication authorization.

Please reach out to the health room staff if you have any questions:

Recordatorio sobre Medicamentos en la Sala de Salud Escolar

La sala de salud escolar desea recordarles a los padres y tutores que todos los medicamentos almacenados en la sala de salud deben recogerse antes de la hora de salida del último día de clases, el 17 de junio de 2026. Si su estudiante está inscrito en un programa de verano patrocinado por las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Fairfax (FCPS), el formulario actual de autorización de medicamentos puede utilizarse para el programa de verano. Los padres deberán recoger el medicamento y entregarlo en el sitio del programa de aprendizaje de verano.

Los formularios de autorización de medicamentos para el año escolar 2026-2027 están disponibles en línea en https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. Este formulario es obligatorio para cualquier medicamento recetado o de venta libre. Consulte la información sobre los procedimientos de medicamentos en la parte posterior del formulario.

Todos los medicamentos de venta libre deben estar sin abrir y en su envase original. No se deben traer más de 100 píldoras/tabletas a la escuela. Todos los medicamentos recetados deben estar etiquetados por el farmacéutico o proveedor de atención médica y coincidir con las indicaciones en el formulario de autorización de medicamentos.

Por favor, comuníquese con el personal de la sala de salud si tiene alguna pregunta:

Lunch Balances

Please Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance

It’s a busy time of year, and we know many priorities are on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.

Free and Reduced-Price Meals

Families who earn less than 185% of the poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer. 

If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year.

 

¡No Olvide Revisar el Saldo del Almuerzo de su Estudiante A medida que nos acercamos al final del año escolar, es importante que las familias recuerden revisar la cuenta MySchoolBucks de sus estudiantes y pagar cualquier balance de comida escolar restante. Las familias que ganan menos del 185% del nivel de pobreza califican para comidas gratis o a precio reducido. Sin embargo, hay que cumplimentar y presentar una nueva solicitud cada año escolar para recibir ese beneficio.La solicitud para el año escolar 2026-27 estará disponible este verano. Si las familias tienen un balance actual y piensan que pueden ser elegibles para recibir comidas gratis o a precio reducido, por favor llenen la solicitud FRM para el año escolar 2025-26. Obtenga más información sobre el almuerzo gratuito y a precio reducido.
