Field Day 2024

Principal's Message

 

Good afternoon roadrunner families,

As our school year draws to a close, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. It has been a fantastic year, filled with students growing, learning, collaborating, exploring, and having fun applying their skills.
Reflecting on this week, it was a testament to the joy and unique experiences your children have had at Lorton Station. From the 6th grade closing out events, including their first dance and kickball, to the rising 1st graders (Kindergarten) completing their play, and the excitement of Medieval Day with its working drawbridge and castle. And who could forget the pure joy of all our students at field day, where water, bounce houses, and sun created a perfect atmosphere of fun. Now, we are preparing to bid farewell to our 6th graders at promotion and our final wave on Wednesday. 


This week was filled with events that showcased our school spirit and dedication. Let us continue to carry this momentum as we wrap up the year and head into our final short week. Thank you once again for your support and partnership.

 

Thank you,

Dr. Legagneur, Mr. Barton, Ms. Champion, and Ms. Kayes

June 12: Last Day of School (2 Hour Early Release)

Dear Parent or Guardian:

 

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

 

Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school. Please be sure medication orders are clear. All information on the form must be completed. Part I must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian. Part II must be signed and dated by your health care provider. Approved over-the-counter medications given for headaches, muscle aches, orthodontic pain, or menstrual cramps do not need a health care provider’s signature. Antibiotic or antiviral medications for 10 consecutive school days or less do not require a health care provider’s signature either. For all asthma medications, a Virginia Asthma Action Plan must be provided. More detailed information is available on the back of the medication authorization form(s).

 

Over-the-counter medication must be in the unopened original container and clearly labeled by the parent or guardian. No more than 100 pills/tablets of OTC medication should be brought to school at a time. All prescription medication, including samples, must be labeled by the pharmacist or health care provider. Please make sure that the label clearly states your student’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage of the medication, and the time to be given.

 

Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student, their medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide at 571-642-6010 or your school public health nurse, Esi Hayford at [email protected]

 

Thank you for your cooperation and have a good summer.

Kindergarten Orientation Night!!!

SOL Pep Rally

Celebrating with our Hispanic Early Literacy Program's graduation!!

Principal Message

Dear Roadrunner Families,

What a week of firsts for many families and students at Lorton Station. Earlier in the week, we experienced the end of a fantastic Hispanic Early Literacy Program semester for our three and younger students at Lorton Station, who meet weekly to work on building their early reading skills. This was followed by a great AAP Night in which our newest AAP students could speak with their teachers in grades 3 - 6 and our AAP ambassadors from the 6th grade and high school about the program. This led to a fantastic close to the week in which our 3 - 6th graders were cheered on by their classmates and watched a video created by our staff encouraging them as they prepare to take the SOLs over the next three weeks. Finally, to close out a wonderful week, we met the Class of 2036 for the first time as they took their first steps into Lorton Station, met our staff, rode the school bus, and played on the playground while experiencing a popsicle with their friends.

Next week, please join us in celebrating our entire staff at Lorton Station for all the great things they do to support our students throughout the year and for doing a job that is the most important in the world. Every student who later becomes a lawyer, doctor, CEO, or engineer began their journey in a classroom and was mentored and supported by a teacher. Please leave a thank you message for a staff member using the link below.

 

Warm Regards,

Dr. Legagneur, Ms. Champion, Ms. Kayes, Mr. Barton

It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!

Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us plan, so that we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school. 

We are happy to support families with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more information in other languages, visit FCPS’ Kindergarten Registration webpage.

 

🖍️ ¡Es El Momento de Inscribirse al Kindergarten!

Congratulations to the students with artwork featured in the Hayfield Pyramid Art Show this past Thursday, April 19th. We are incredible proud of our student artists and were thrilled to see so many students and their families participate in this event

Principal Message

Dear Roadrunner Families,

It was such a thrill to see our roadrunners showcasing their knowledge and talents at both the Hayfield Art Show and the announcement of new electric vehicles at Lorton Station. Everyday I am excited but the great heights our students achieve and the impact they will make on our future. When you see their artistic gifts, coupled with their drive to save our environment, I know we are in great hands for the future.

 

Warm Regards,

Dr. Legagneur, Ms. Champion, Ms. Kayes, Mr. Barton

Lorton Station students and faculty enjoyed the solar eclipse and were able to see the event during peak times

Principal Message

Dear Roadrunner Families,

This was such a great week at Lorton Station!! The entire school was able to view the eclipse, thanks to Mr. Barton and the Science Foundation, who provided the school with glasses. It was amazing to see the event through the eyes of children from 5 to 12. Many were not alive for the last one and will only experience the next one in 20 years. I hope they shared the experience with you on Monday.


If you did not get a chance to join us at Mt. Vernon HS on Friday, you missed a thrilling game between your Roadrunner staff and the Dolphins. Our very own Ms. Bingman was the MVP, reigning three after three on the Ft. Belvoir team, to help our Roadrunners win the game. We were so excited to be a participant this year and look forward to meeting up with the Dolphins next year. I also want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Ms. Davis, our kindergarten teacher, who organized and was the biggest cheerleader for the event; without her hard work, this event wouldn't have been as successful.

 

Warm Regards,

Dr. Legagneur, Ms. Champion, Ms. Kayes, Mr. Barton
