Upcoming Launch of the New SHES Website

Dear Spring Hill Community,

On April 3, 2018, Spring Hill ES will launch a newly designed website, which will offer several advantages including:

  • A constantly updating calendar of events featuring both Spring Hill and FCPS important dates/events
  • Enhanced announcements, including an automatically updated archive of all past News You Choose broadcast e-mails (including the Panther Press)
  • Photo galleries of day-to-day school happenings and special events
  • Featured art work and writing samples from current Spring Hill students
  • An online attendance form for submitting student absences
  • Compatible display on mobile devices, an important feature because so many of you are coming to the site through cell phones
  • Easy sharing of content between our school and Fairfax County Public Schools (for example, emergency alerts about weather closures etc. from the main site will be promptly displayed on the school site)
  • Consistency across FCPS school sites with similar layouts and menus, making navigation of sites easier for parents as children progress through to middle school and beyond
  • Accessibility to all users with disabilities (508 compliant)

If you are not able to find the information you need on our home page, you can use any of the following:

  • Search Function, similar to the way you would look for information on Google
  • Top Menus, which links to main topics including General information about SHES, Academics, Family Resources, and Contact Information and commonly accessed sites like SIS, FCPS 24/7 (Blackboard), MySchoolBucks, and Library Resources
  • Full Menu (Hamburger Menu), in the upper left hand corner of the home page, which shows all the sub-pages within the main topics

If you have bookmarked our current website at http://www2.fcps.edu/SpringHillES/, be sure to update that with our new website address https://springhilles.fcps.edu.  

While we have tried to include all of the information from our old site that you have come to rely on, there may be something that we have forgotten. If that is the case, feel free to contact Bill Mosher at wkmosher@fcps.edu.  While we don't anticipate any problems with the transition to the new site, please be patient with us as we work to build and grow our revamped online presence.  Thank you.
