Flyers

Through out the year, flyers will be placed in your child’s Tuesday folder. They typically announce activities that are coming up from one of the PTA’s committees or even the school directly. Sometimes flyers are used to request volunteer assistance with school or PTA activities. |

Web Site

The school has a website and the PTA has a link there. The website is http://www.fcps.edu/powelles or you can go directly to http://www.cpespta.org and you can also access information on what is going on in all of the Fairfax County schools by going to www.fcps.edu. |

The Colin Powell News Network is a morning news show presented every morning that is seen by the students in their classrooms. It is presented by students via the in-house studio. Your kids receive information concerning activities and items taking place at the school. The PTA uses this show to advertise activities coming up as well. |
