Hello, Springfield District,

I hope you are enjoying your final days of summer break as we begin the countdown to the first day of school - less than three weeks from now!

I’m sharing an opportunity for all high school students who may be interested in collaborating with this year’s Student Representative to the School Board, Newt Shosteck. Read below for more information on how students may engage with him and the School Board’s work.

Additionally, Fairfax County Public Schools’ Family Resource Center has just scheduled its first webinar of the 2026-27 school year. Find more information below. 

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

I will be in touch soon, 

Sandy


🤝 School Board Community Advisory Committee Student Representatives

Are you a student in grades 9-12 looking to become more involved with the Fairfax County School Board and help shape the direction of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) programs?

The Fairfax County School Board Student Representative is seeking applications from students interested in serving a one-year appointment to one of the Community Advisory Committees. The Community Advisory Committees represent the concerns of parents, students, and other stakeholders, helping to inform and shape Fairfax County Public Schools' programming and resources.

Seven committees make up the Fairfax County School Board Community Advisory Committees. Each focuses on specific issues affecting FCPS students. The work of the committee will be presented in an annual report with recommendations to the Fairfax County School Board.

Time Commitment and Expectations: Committee members should expect to meet once a month, often in the evenings. Members will be committing to a one-year term, which runs from August 1 to July 31, with the possibility of renewal for most committees.

For more information, you can contact Newt Shosteck, Student Representative to the School Board.
