 The West Springfield Pyramid Principals (West Springfield HS, Irving MS, West Springfield ES, Cardinal Forest ES, Hunt Valley ES, Orange Hunt ES, Rolling Valley ES, Keene Mill ES and Sangster ES) will host a virtual community chat on Tuesday, June 30th from 7pm-8pm on Blackboard Collaborate. The purpose of this discussion is to provide a space and platform for our community members to share openly and candidly about the strengths and needs of our community schools as we work to create a welcoming environment that is supportive of all students and families. Our hope is to continue to grow our partnership with you and better address the needs and concerns of our students and families in the West Springfield Pyramid.

Student Registration
|
Schools remain closed to families; however, if you have a rising kindergartner or other new student to register, we would like to do a preliminary registration now. If you know of any families that would be new to Orange Hunt (that have rising kindergartners or students in grades 1-6), please forward this information to them. Early registration for next year is important as it supports the number of teachers for which we are staffed.
To register your child for school, please email laakofiohite@fcps.edu with “Registration” in the subject line. If you are able to fill out the registration packet online, save it to your device, and attach it to the email to send back to us, that is the preferred option. If you are not able to do that, please let us know when you might be available for a phone interview.
After we receive your email, we will reach out with any additional questions. If you have any questions or concerns about registration, please contact Lesley Akofio-Hite, our registrar, at laakofiohite@fcps.edu.
