dance

🕺💃 A huge thank you to our incredible PTA for organizing another fantastic Back-to-School Dance for our Pine Spring Bobcats!  This annual event is always a highlight for our families, and this year was no exception. From the music to the fun raffle, it was a night full of smiles, laughter, and community spirit. We are so grateful for your dedication and hard work in making this event such a memorable experience for everyone! 


Conferences: Schedule Yours Today!

If you have not already, we encourage caregivers to schedule a conference with their child's teacher to discuss progress and any questions you may have. To accommodate your needs, conferences can be held in person, virtually, or over the phone. Please reach out to your child’s teacher to set up a time that works best for you. Let's work together to support your child's success!


AAP Information Night

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is dedicated to providing a challenging and enriching learning environment for all students through talent development and differentiated instruction, specifically tailored to meet the needs of advanced learners. FCPS offers a comprehensive continuum of advanced academic services for students in Grades K-12. This approach is designed to recognize each student’s unique needs, focusing on providing appropriate services.

Pine Spring Elementary School will host a parent information meeting on October 10, 2024, at 7:00 PM. Our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART), Tracy Haynes, will provide an overview of the continuum of AAP services, explain the screening processes, and answer any questions about advanced academic opportunities.

For students in grades 2-7, full-time AAP referrals and optional supporting materials must be submitted to Tracy Haynes by December 15, 2024, at 4:00 PM.
