Dear Families,

Welcome to fifth grade!  This year your child will be engaged in a variety of learning experiences and will benefit from your support and encouragement at home.  Use the following link to view our “At a Glance” learning objectives and to learn more about our curriculum:  https://www.fcps.edu/year-at-a-glance/fifth-grade.

We are planning field trips to enrich our learning during the year. Please do not send any money now, but budget about $45.00 for potential field trips for the school year.  We are looking forward to these exciting learning experiences. 

We look forward to developing our home/school partnership and we are excited to begin this 5th grade  journey with you and your child.

Sincerely,

The Fifth Grade Team
