Dear Spring Hill Families,
What a fabulous Open House yesterday! I can't tell you the joy that I felt as we welcomed all of our Panther families into the building. So exciting!
Our doors will open on Monday at 8:30 AM. School officially begins at 8:50 AM. As students enter the building, they will be directed and/or escorted by designated school staff to their classrooms. School dismissal is at 3:50 PM.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Amy Briggs

FCPS School Year Calendar for 2023-24
For your convenience, we have created a beginning of the check list. Click to access the form. The form contains live links to relevant documents and forms, you will just need to hover over each item for the link to activate.
One of the most important things we do at Spring Hill is to ensure the safety of students, families, and staff during arrival and dismissal. Below are the procedures for our school community. Please make sure to read them carefully and follow established routes for the safety of all!
During arrival and dismissal, the entrance to the bus lanes in the front of the school and the parking lot to the left of the school (by the stop light) are closed to ensure the safety of our students.
It’s important to note that Kiss & Ride takes time. Plan thoughtfully and arrive in a timely manner to ensure your child arrives at school to begin his/her school day on time. The Kiss & Ride procedures are as follows:
Kiss and Ride arrival instructions
Enter the Kiss & Ride lane from Lewinsville Road. Loop around the school’s parking lot and follow the directions of staff. You will be directed to pull forward and a staff member will open the door for your child when it’s time to be released from the car. Your child should be seated on the passenger side of the car as they will exit from the right side only. Parents must stay in their vehicles at all times. Kiss & Ride cars will exit right onto Lewinsville Road.
Kiss and Ride dismissal instructions
Enter the Kiss & Ride lane from Lewinsville Road and loop around the school’s parking lot and follow the directions from staff. You will be directed to pull forward. Please have displayed your kiss and ride number on the passenger side front window. A staff member will call your child(ren). Students will then enter the vehicle from the passenger side of the car.
Kiss & Ride numbers are given to every family regardless of whether it is used or not. Numbers were given out during Open House and will be sent home to those families who were unable to attend. All teachers will have access to the numbers and can assist you if you don’t know your child’s number.
Please remember to not pass cars in the Kiss & Ride lane.
Please refer to the Kiss & Ride map below:
Walkers
Walkers will enter Door 7 and exit the building using Doors 6, 7 & 8 at Spring HIll Elementary on the back of the building. Kindergarten students will be dismissed from door 7 only, first grade will be released outside Door 8 and the remaining students will exit using door 6. These doors are all located in the same area.(see map). Parking is available at Spring Hill Rec center. All students must be escorted when crossing the street.
Bus Riders
Bus riders received route information directly from FCPS Transportation the week of August 16 via their Parent Vue accounts. During the first week of school, staff members will be posted in the hallways in the morning to direct students to their rooms and in the afternoon to help children find their buses at the end of the day. Please help us by ensuring that your child knows their bus number.
Bus riders will enter and exit the building using door 1. Students will be dismissed from class upon bus arrival.
