We appreciate our bus drivers so much and can't wait to celebrate them on April 22, 2025 which is National Bus Driver Appreciation Day. The PTA is looking for a volunteer to coordinate this event which involves purchasing gift cards ahead of time and then distributing them to our morning and afternoon drivers. If interested, please contact Megan Brooks at mjbrooks@fcps.edu.

Preparing for Tough Conversations With Teens
Discussing tough topics like fentanyl and other drugs can feel challenging — no matter how close you are with your child. Explain to your teen that it’s important to learn about fentanyl so they know what to do if a friend overdoses. Prepare in advance with the tips below:
- Set the stage. Choose a casual environment that’s free from distractions. Talk while driving, taking a walk, or doing chores together.
- Make it a two-way discussion. Ask open-ended questions.
- Stay patient and reserve judgment.
- Check in with your child early and often.
Developing a Strong Academic Foundation, Curiosity, and Joy for Learning The FCPS Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Advertised Budget invests in academic growth and excellence for each and every student, which is one of the priorities of the FCPS Strategic Plan.
A strong start for every student is Goal 1 of the Strategic Plan. Pre-K classrooms are making a difference in our community. In this video, we explore the importance of bringing children under the age of five together, regardless of abilities.
