Our Back to School Night was packed! Parents had the opportunity to learn about our PTA, community organizations, specials classes and how the school day unfolds for students. Thank you to everyone bringing such positive energy to the Den.

A Message from Ms. Consolla

Thank you again to everyone who came out for Back to School Night this week. If you have not already joined the PTA and/or considered volunteering, I invite you to do so. This organization does so much to enrich both the classroom and community experience here at Fort Hunt.  As our PTA president Danielle Cotter shared, engaging in the PTA events is a way to connect your family to the larger community. You can easily access all the information at the PTA website. 

Safety is always our highest priority at Fort Hunt. Of great concern is the repeated crossing of Linton Lane outside the crosswalk. Just this afternoon, a neighbor called to say that she almost hit a student coming out between cars. It is never okay to cross Linton except at the crosswalk. We need all parents to follow this safety rule. Even when you're in a rush, taking the extra minute to use the crosswalk means you're modeling to your child what being safe looks like. 

We have a short week ahead as we approach the Labor Day holiday. Please remember that schools and offices will be closed September 4–7. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and some extra time with family and friends.

Thank you for your partnership in your child's education at Fort Hunt.
