Dear Panther Families,
We had a wonderful morning greeting all of our 'Panther Cubs' and their families who will be joining the Spring Hill family in the Fall. Our young panthers were eager to see the kindergarten classrooms!
The end of the year is rapidly approaching! Please see our ABC countdown for all of the fun spirit days we have planned for the rest of the school year.
We hope you enjoy your weekend!
Sincerely,
Amy Briggs
As we near the end of the school year, we'd like to provide an opportunity for families in our community to reflect on how their child(ren) have changed and grown over the past year and think about how their personalities and characteristics shape their experiences as a learner. Gathering some brief information about each child will assist us in constructing class groupings for the 24-25 school year and provide your child's future teacher with valuable information from the family's perspective. We will be collecting responses through May 24th. Please fill out this Google form to capture your input. We look forward to working together with you as we plan the coming school year.

- 🩹 Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and 12th Graders
Immunizations are required for all students entering 7th and 12th grades this fall. Visit the FCPS immunization webpage to learn about the required vaccines. Caregivers should ask their private healthcare provider or the health department to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations.
It is important to schedule immunizations early in the summer, as seventh grade students must submit documentation of the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines before they begin school in August. Twelfth grade students must submit documentation of the Meningococcal vaccine. Get more information on all student immunization requirements.
