On Monday, April 8, the rare solar eclipse will occur at the end of the school day for some students and while others will be transitioning home either by bus, car, or walking. Our concern is everyone’s safety. We know it would be tempting for some students to look at the sun which could cause injury without eye protection. We also know that many parents would like to experience the solar eclipse with their children. For these reasons, we will close schools early on Monday, April 8. This early dismissal will allow students to arrive home safely.
Elementary schools will dismiss at 12:45pm and middle and high schools will dismiss at 12:00pm. Preschool Programs will dismiss at 12:00pm.
We hope students and families take the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary, natural phenomenon. More information on safe viewing will be coming to our FCPS families.
Today is a day to celebrate our incredible Instructional Assistants here at JM!
From supporting our students in their learning journey to lending a helping hand to our dedicated staff, our IA's play a vital role in helping us achieve greatness every day. Their dedication, kindness, and hard work do not go unnoticed.
Thank you, Instructional Assistants, for all that you do to make our school community thrive! #InstructionalAssistantAppreciation #ThankYouIA #JMFamily #Gratitude

Congratulations to the Fredericksburg Optimist Club Student of the Month for March, Christian Wilson.
With a laundry list of activities, awards, and community service, Christian is the definition of excellence.

Not to mention his countless accolades, including membership in the National Honors Society and James Farmer Scholars.
Christian's impact doesn't stop there—he's dedicated to giving back through his service with the Fredericksburg Concert Band and the NAACP Youth Organization Committee.
