Principal’s Message

It is February already with lots of things to celebrate. We are thrilled to announce Mary Moore, Grade 3, won 2nd place in the Anne Arundel County Literacy Chapter's Young Authors' Contest! Way to go, Mary! Hayden Dawes and Audrey Barker were honored and celebrated for their inclusion, perseverance, and positive attitude with the Mo Gaba Award! We are so proud of our wonderful students.

We wish to express our gratitude to those students who consistently uphold the code of conduct, report inappropriate behavior, and advocate for a positive and respectful learning environment. Please review school expectations with your student. We value the collaboration between home and school and appreciate your efforts to maintain a high standard of behavior among our students.

As a reminder, please do not park in the bus loop for any reason at any time, during the school day, during after school events, or weekends. This is for safety reasons. If there were a fire, fire trucks and emergency vehicles need quick and easy access to the building!

Notes from the Nurse...

Parents and guardians, please get your child vaccinated for the flu if you haven’t already done so.

Please make sure your student has a change of clothes in their locker for the proper season. Even older students need a change of clothing in case they spill a drink or get mud on their clothes.

If your child gets any vaccines, please send their vaccination record in so that their school health records are up-to-date.

If your child tests positive for Covid, flu, strep throat, etc., please inform the health room.

Thank you!

OSP Online School Payments

Online School Payments (OSP)

Four Seasons offers a convenient way to pay for school items electronically. It’s called Online School Payments (OSP) and will allow families to pay by credit card for things such as field trips and lost media books. We also have options to allow you to donate to support special activities for students or to donate to allow the principal to “treat” our staff. Please note that there is a small service charge for using the OSP system. Cash and checks made payable to Four Seasons Elementary School are always accepted for student fees with no service fee. If you have any questions regarding the OSP system, please contact Erika Allen at eallen@aacps.org or
410-222-6501. To access OSP, please click on this link: Four Seasons OSP.
