Brrrrr! It's cold outside! Be sure to stop by the Parent Resource Library to warm up and check out our vast selection of learning resources and games and take something home to your child to encourage them to have fun while they learn.

Our Parent Resource Library is open from 8-4pm, Monday through Friday. Parents are always welcome to come in to check out learning resources, or they can contact us to send requested resources to your child's school to bring home. If you're looking for an educational resource, game or activity to support your child's math, literacy, or social skills goals, give us a call and we can help you find something they'll love.

Visit our library catalog to see our growing collection of resources, books, and eBooks! https://search.follettsoftware.com/metasearch/ui/43326

If an interpreter is needed, please contact us at least a week before the event so we can secure one for you. Email us in your preferred language at prc@spotsylvania.k12.va.us to make this request. Thank you.

Come check out one of our copies of African Americans of Spotsylvania County by Roger Braxton and Terry Miller, which contains photographs and stories from private collections of Spotsylvania citizens who gratefully shared their ancestors' heritage. Learn about the history of John J. Wright and how he founded the first African American School in Spotsylvania County.

Virtual Bingo Nights February 15th, 16th, and 17th

Lee Hill ES families will have the opportunity to participate in a Virtual Bingo Event for all grade levels. Bingo cards will be sent home with all students prior to Bingo Nights. The google meet links for Bingo will appear on the student dashboard at 5:50 pm each night.

Tuesday, February 15th- Virtual Bingo Night for Grades K and 1, 6:00 pm

Wednesday, February 16th- Virtual Bingo Night for Grades 2 and 3, 6:00 pm

Thursday, February 17th- Virtual Bingo Night for Grades 4 and 5, 6:00 pm

Read Around the World Event on February 3rd (5:30-7:00pm)

Spotswood families will learn about the different cultures and countries represented at their school, learn where their families are from (Hawaii? El Salvador? Guatemala? Taiwán?) and what their traditions are. They want to celebrate our diverse community!

When families enter the cafeteria, they will get a "passport" and then travel around the school from "country to country." Students will be able to listen to guest readers read stories that represent cultures from around the world. As families visit each location, they will receive a sticker to put in their passport.

Spotswood needs families who are interested in representing their ethnic and cultural backgrounds and/or countries of origin and hosting a table. Feel free to join with friends to design a table; some ideas would be to have a poster with some facts about your country or culture, a game or craft project representing your country, and/or items from your country, such as traditional clothing or a flag. If you don’t have traditional items here, do you have pictures you could bring?

Contact Sara Cancroy scancroy@spotsylvania.k12.va.us if you have questions or would like to share with us on February 3rd.

Kids will fall in love with Demco's immersive activities like forecasting the weather, writing poetry, and using STEAM skills to build gumdrop towers and race cars.

Any child who is identified as having a disability and qualifies as in need of special education is entitled to a free, appropriate public education designed to meet his/her needs. Early identification assists parents, students and schools in the design of appropriate educational services. Referrals can be made by anyone concerned with the child's educational performance including the parent, child's teacher, community agency or a school official.
