Bingo: What a Success!
 Bingo was positively amazing! Based on the number of chairs we used, we believe we had over 450 attendees and about 150 prizes were won. The very best part of the evening was the opportunity for our school community to come together and enjoy a game that is exciting for all to play.
Thank you for joining us. Our community is the BEST!

Have Your Say in Our Future!
 Strategic planning Community Forums kick off on Monday, January 30, at 6:30 p.m., at Stone Middle School. Check out the schedule of Community Forums and register for one that is convenient for you. There will be one in-person event in each magisterial district and several virtual events.
Participating in a strategic planning Community Forum will give employees, parents/caregivers, students, and community members a chance to help shape the school division’s future. At each event, participants will review student achievement, access, and perception data, and identify both strengths and challenges within the data. Input from the forums will be analyzed by our consultant, Performance Fact, Inc., and shared with the Core Planning Team for potential inclusion in FCPS’ new Strategic Plan.
Childcare will be provided at in-person forums. Language interpretation will be provided, as available, at all events. Please register today.
