Welcome to the Timber Lane Elementary PTA
The Timber Lane Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is an incredible group of volunteers dedicated to supporting the needs of Timber Lane teachers, staff, and students. Joining the PTA comes with absolutely no obligation to volunteer. Here's our ask of you as we begin the 2026-2027 school year:
Please join the PTA. Memberships for families are only $15, and memberships for teachers are only $10.
Consider making an additional one-time donation as a way to "pay forward" the per student costs mentioned above. This option is available as you complete your registration.

Kindergarten Registration: It’s as Easy as 1-2-3
There’s an easy five-step process for parents wanting to register their child for kindergarten:
- Determine eligibility.
- Identify your local school.
- Gather documents.
- Fill out forms.
- Schedule an appointment.
After the appointment at the school (the student and one caregiver must be present), the student will be ready for orientation or any other introductory events each school may host. Read more about the registration process. For more information, call our student information assistant, Michelle Vasquez at (703) 206-5300 or email mvasquez1@fcps.edu.
Try Online Registration
Parents may register their children online for kindergarten through 12th grade. Learn how to begin the online registration process. When registering, parents will create (or log in to an existing) SIS ParentVUE account.
GENERAL SCHOOL FAQs
-
How do I find information about weather-related school closures?
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
-
What time does school start?
School doors open at 8:30am and the first bell rings at 8:40am. Classes officially begin at 8:50am. If you arrive to school after 8:50am you should plan to enter through Door 1 and sign in at the front desk.
-
What door do students who walk to school use?
All students who walk to school (grades Pre-K through 6th) should enter the school through Door 2. You can use this visual as a reference for both walkers and kiss-and-ride entry/exit points. Remember, Pre-K students are required to be walked to Door 2 and handed off to a Pre-K staff member.
-
My student plans to buy lunch, how do I manage meal payments?
If your student needs to purchase lunch, you'll need a MySchoolBucks account. From your account you can add and manage funds for all your children, whether through a one-time payment or an auto-pay solution.
GENERAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
If I join the PTA, do I have to volunteer my time?
Volunteering is not required! You can join and pay dues simply to support our activities. Volunteering isn't required to be a part of the PTA. And if you want to volunteer, but aren't a dues-paying PTA member, that's okay too!
-
If I join the PTA, do I have to go to PTA meetings?
Meetings are 100% optional! We love when parents join us at PTA meetings. It's a great way to learn about what's happening at school, hear from teachers and other guest speakers, learn about volunteer opportunities, and to ask any questions. However, you are not required to go to meetings, even if you join the PTA.
