Early Release Friday/ No School Monday

This is just a reminder that this Friday, March 5th, is an early release day. This means all students will end instruction two hours early. We will release our in-person students at 1:30 PM.  

There is no school for students on Monday, March 8th, as it is a regularly scheduled student holiday. 

School Supply Pick-up

Thanks to the efforts of the FCPS Title I office, we are able to offer another set of school supplies for each child at Pine Spring.

If your child is coming to school in-person, we will use their supplies at school to avoid you needing to purchase materials for them to return to school.

If your child is continuing to learn virtually for the remainder of the year, we will be distributing their materials on 3/15 between 11:00AM – 12:30PM at the main entrance of Pine Spring. 

Each child will be provided a bag with the following supplies:

• Folders
• Notebooks
• Glue sticks
• Earbuds
• Scissors
• Eraser
• Pencil sharpener
• Pack of pencils
• Pack of colored pencils
• Pack of crayons
• Dry Erase Markers

Selection Waitlist

At Pine Spring, we have worked very hard to meet families' requests to change their placement selection. At this point, we are no longer able to accommodate any further changes. However, if you have a desire to change your selection, please email me at neyacubovich@fcp.edu. Your requests will be recorded on a waitlist in the event that we are able to make changes in the future.  

New Bell Schedule

All FCPS schools began their new bell schedule for both in-person and virtual learning on February 16th. For your convenience, we have added each teacher’s new schedule onto the Pine Spring website under our Return to School tab. Please note the bell schedule is as follows:

Return to School Parent Coffee

We understand that the return to school is causing a great deal of excitement for some and anxiety for others. While we will need to constantly review and adjust our practices based on current information, we want to provide you with updated information on a regular basis. We have created information sessions that will provide you an overview and allow for questions and suggestions. We will offer the same information at each session, to allow you to find a time that fits your schedule. To ensure the most effective use of your time, we are asking that you submit your questions in advance here.

See the meetings information below:

Return to School Transition Timeline

We have adjusted our dates for transitioning students to their new teachers based on both parent and staff input. This change will allow the in-person students an opportunity to get to know the teacher before returning to the building.
You will also notice that we have built-in orientations for each grade level. This will be a brief opportunity to meet the teacher and learn about their routines, procedures, and expectations. This will not be a full Back to School Night presentation, as the curriculum that is being covered remains the same as the curriculum we introduced at the beginning of the year. You will access this event by signing into your child's Google Classroom and clicking on the Google Meet link as if they were signing into class for the day. 

Timeline for the transition

PAWS Awards

We are always looking for ways to share how much we appreciate and support all of the hard work our staff is putting into this year. If you have seen one of our teachers or other staff members doing something above and beyond please consider sharing through our PAWS form. Your feedback will enter them into a weekly opportunity for a gift card, thanks to a donation from our PTA.

Clothing Hanger Donations

Pine Spring has been fortunate enough to receive a donation of girls clothes, and we would love to get them out to our community in a safe way. For us to do that, we need your help. We are asking for clothing hanger donations. We will use the hangers to safely space out the clothes so parents can select items that will fit their child. If you have hangers you are willing to donate, please drop them off in the box outside of Door 1 during our normal school day hours.

Welcoming Future Bobcats
