On November 6th and 7th, we are looking for volunteers who would like to visit Pine Spring to share their journey to joining the service and how education supported this journey. If you or someone you know is interested, please sign up for one of the available slots in the link below. Our students always look forward to meeting a real-life hero!

FCPS is adopting Social Studies Basal Resources for the 2025-26 school year. Basal resources are the primary resources used to support instruction in a given subject. Public review of the instructional materials under consideration — which is part of the process for selecting new resources — is underway. Visit the Community Review webpage for more information on how to view the materials online or in person.Â
All community feedback will be shared with School Board members before they vote to select materials in spring 2025. FCPS adopts basal resources by the process outlined in Regulation 3004.
FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan sets five main goals to create positive change in the division. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts.Â
Our final goal is Leading for Tomorrow’s Innovation. We are preparing our students for a future that has yet to be imagined. We must give them the skills they will need to succeed. Watch this video to see students exploring and preparing for careers through Career and Technical Experience programs. See how Goal 5 is being put into practice.
Pine Spring invites you to honor our veterans with a special concert on Friday, November 8th in the Pine Spring Gym. Students will be performing a selection of music that pays tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of our service members, with special performances by the Pine Spring Chorus and Orchestra.
