Strategic Plan: Make Your Students’ Voice Count!

Strategic Planning is in process and will incorporate feedback from school staff, families, students, and community partners and organizations. Please encourage your students to participate in this unique opportunity to share their voices.

FCPS is currently seeking secondary students in grades 7-12 who are interested in participating in a Strategic Plan focus group. This focus group provides an opportunity to share feedback in a small group with other FCPS students and a trained facilitator. FCPS is hosting four virtual focus groups for secondary students in February and March:

  • March 16, 3:30-5 p.m. or 5:30-7 p.m.

Interested students should check their email for a form to sign up for the focus groups. Students will be asked to provide their student ID, so their parents/caregivers can be identified and contacted to ask for consent to participate.

If you have any questions about the student focus groups or you would like to learn more about this opportunity, please contact strategicplan@fcps.edu.  

Register Now to Attend a Community Forum! 

Check out the schedule of Community Forums and register for the one that is most convenient for you.

From the Library 

The library is a busy place! We hosted the CTE Department’s Internship Fair this week, welcomed our Math Honor Society students as they dressed the library up for March 14’s Pi Day, and kicked off instruction with our English 10 classes. We love to work with classes to develop research skills, and to help students create products that show their learning. Are your students conducting research in their classes? Please remind your students that there are fantastic research supports available through their HHS Library course on Schoology and that they can always reach us at hhs_library@fcps.edu to schedule one-on-one support.

Spring break is approaching quickly. Encourage your student to have plenty of great reading on hand. Books checked out now are not due until after spring break. In addition to physical books, we offer ebooks and e-audiobooks that your student can enjoy on a personal device. We’ve got something for everyone!
