DETAILS ON UPCOMING EVENTS

Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Day

Wednesday, October 9th is the annual Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Day. We are encouraging all our Lancers, who are able, to bike, walk and roll to school. There are many benefits to active transport such as developing healthier habits, contributing to a cleaner environment, promoting pedestrian safety, and building a stronger sense of community. If you would like to learn more, please check out the Walk, Bike & Roll to School website: https://www.walkbiketoschool.org/learn-more/why-walkbike/. We hope to see you out there!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Social Studies Basal Resources Review

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.

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.
