Phase 2 Community Boundary Review Meetings

Families, staff, and community members will soon be able to explore and visualize potential boundary scenarios using a customized Boundary Explorer Tool. The tool will be accessible from the FCPS website. You are also invited to participate in another series of community meetings in order to review and reflect on the initial draft scenarios before the start of summer break.

Each meeting will be hybrid, meaning that you may attend in person or via Zoom. Childcare for in-person participants and language interpretation/translation for all participants will be available as needed. Registration links will be shared soon. Another round of community meetings will be held in the fall.

Visit FCPS’ Comprehensive Boundary Review page for more information. 


Parent Input for Class Placement for 2025-2026

At Pine Spring, we are preparing classes for the 2025-2026 school year. The school staff works collaboratively to determine the best setting for each child.  It is the task of the grade-level teachers, specialists, and administration to determine the distribution of teachers and students to optimally organize classroom assignments for next year.  A variety of factors, such as student personalities and academic abilities, are also considered as we create our new classes.  Other factors impacting the decision-making process of student class assignments are new student enrollment and teachers moving to a new assignment. Pine Spring families can assist us in determining class placement by sharing their insights about their child with respect to academic and behavioral information here.  Please note the following: We do not accept requests for specific teachers for the upcoming grade placement. Please be mindful when sharing about a student that is not your own child. We will only acknowledge language that you would want another family to use to describe your own child. We understand that some families had a difficult time with the link, so we have extended the deadline to May 23, 2025. 


Pine Spring AVID College and Career Showcase

Career Day 25

We’re excited to invite our amazing families and friends to be part of our College & Career Showcase on June 5th from 9 AM - 12 PM at Pine Spring Elementary! Our students are full of curiosity about the world around them—and yes, they are interested in what you do! Whether you're in healthcare, tech, construction, the arts, service industry, or anything in between, your story matters and inspires.

Many adults worry that their jobs might not be exciting to kids—but you'd be surprised by how fascinated students are when learning about the many paths to success. You don’t need a flashy title—just a willingness to share your journey, what you love about your job, and how you got there.

Let’s work together to show our students the incredible range of possibilities their futures can hold.
