Dear Parents,
I am sure you have heard that a winter storm is heading our way.....again!
The announcement for a school delay or school closure due to weather is posted on the FCPS website, FCPS social media such as Instagram and Twitter. I post on Talking Points to all families these updates immediately.
On a warm note, Sleepy Hollow Elementary School was recognized last Thursday evening for two important achievments. First, Ms. Fugle was recognized as the Virginia State Computer Technology Teacher of the Year! Sleepy Hollow was then recognized for the 70th anniversary as an elementary school. It was an exciting evening. Thank you to all the staff and families who proudly attended the event.
Stay safe and stay warm,
Principal Vega & Assistant Principal Bermudez

Immunizations- Make Sure Your Children Are Up-to-Date on Immunizations
- Please make sure your child has all of their necessary immunizations. Remember, all students are required to be immunized against certain diseases to attend school in Virginia. This is an important part of keeping children healthy!
Starting Monday, May 19, students who have not provided proof of immunization may not be allowed to attend school. You can check your child’s immunization status and submit updated immunization information by accessing SIS ParentVUE.
Please check with your healthcare provider to make sure your child is up to date on required immunizations for the 2024-25 school year. If your child needs an immunization, make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or view other Immunization Resources. Be wise and immunize!
