Registration is now open for several summer camps and learning opportunities offered by Fairfax County Public Schools for all students.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) camps and Institute for the Arts camps will be held in July at Lake Braddock Secondary School from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bus transportation will be available from select FCPS middle and high schools.
Tech Adventure Camp is available for current grade K-5 students to explore STEAM, culinary, health, trades, and business and marketing areas. E-IFTA is a weekly arts camp for elementary students who love to sing, dance, act, perform, make, and create. Visit the E-IFTA webpage to register.
This week's Principal Pop-In winners are:
- Ms. Flores' 1st Grade Class
- Mrs. Lewis' 5th Grade Class
Keep up the awesome attendance! We can't wait to find out who will have perfect attendance when my Yac pops into your classroom. It's going to be so much fun!

Federal legislation requires that all students identified as English learners (ELs) are assessed annually to monitor their progress and proficiency in English. In Virginia, all divisions use the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs for this purpose. The WIDA ACCESS for ELLs is aligned with the WIDA English Language Development standards and assesses English in the four language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. If your child will be participating in the WIDA testing, a notification letter was sent home. The dates for testing are below. It is important that your child attend school on these days. If possible, please avoid scheduling trips or appointments that would take your child out of school. If you have any questions about this test, please contact Jennifer Ganci at jlganci@fcps.edu.

Please remember that the school calendar for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 are both available and allow you the opportunity to enjoy time with family, while still ensuring a strong learning experience for your child.
Children turning 5 on or before September 30 should be registered for kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year.
I know it seems early, but now is the time for students to be registered. We are planning playdates, screenings, orientation, and other gatherings for kindergarten students to get to know their teachers and each other over the summer. Register soon to make sure your child doesn't miss out!
Students should be registered at the school they will be attending. A boundary locator is available online, along with a list of required documents, and additional help for military families, families who need language assistance, and other forms of support.
If you know someone who needs this information, please forward this message or have them call Pine Spring Elementary at 571-226-4400 to schedule a time with Ms. Breeden.
We are currently anticipating Kindergarten Orientation in-person at Pine Spring on April 2nd.
