This month we talk about school bus safety, we meet two new administrators, and we learn about the district's early childhood initiatives, including the Born Academy, which is designed to help parents of children 5 and under prepare their children for school. Watch it here. 
Attention Parents/Guardians


FCPS invites the parent(s), guardians or caregivers of children younger than age five to participate in a FREE program to help prepare your child for success in school.

The Born Learning Academy is a series of monthly workshops during which participants discuss parenting and education strategies. Dinner is served and child care is provided for all children within a family. Sessions (typically about 90-minutes long) are offered at various locations throughout Franklin County. See the full schedule and more information. Thanks to our sponsors: Toyota, the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood (Race to the Top) and the United Way.
Please share this information with your friends and family members who have children aged five years or younger!
