As we head into Spring Break, I want to wish all our students and families a wonderful, relaxing, and safe spring break! This is a well-deserved time to recharge, spend time together, and enjoy a change of pace. Our students have worked so hard to accomplish their goals and we are incredibly proud of the growth they have shown!

The FCPS Summer Internship Program is a six-week, paid, in-person opportunity for FCPS high school students and recent alumni enrolled in post-secondary education. The program will run from Monday, July 6, to Friday, August 14. It offers hands-on work experience across central office departments.
Interns will work alongside professionals on projects that help prepare FCPS for the upcoming school year. They will learn about current trends in fields including AI and emerging technologies, business and finance, architecture and construction, communications, safety and cybersecurity, and education and advocacy as well as participate in weekly professional development workshops.
Job descriptions, details, and the interest form (which should be completed by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 10) are available on the Summer Internship webpage. Watch a video about last year’s Summer Internship Program and follow @FCPSInterns on Instagram.

The recent mentor social at Mountain View HS was a great opportunity to bring students and staff together in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Everyone gathered to share lunch, giving mentors and students time to connect, laugh, and build stronger relationships outside the classroom. |
The highlight of the event was the basketball knockout competition. Students and staff eagerly joined in, cheering each other on and enjoying some friendly competition. Adding a special touch to the event, one of our talented students designed and painted the prize for the winner. The handmade award not only showcased their creativity but also made the competition feel even more meaningful. |

At FCPS, the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is our highest priority — no matter the season. In extreme cold, we monitor National Weather Service (NWS) guidance, adjust outdoor activities, and ensure our buildings are warm and secure. In extreme heat, we modify or cancel outdoor activities, use on-site measurements to guide athletic decisions, and promote hydration and cooling breaks.
FCPS has plans in place to provide guidance during severe weather, including storms, flooding, and tornadoes. Decisions are informed by industry best practices, weather alerts, and a commitment to keeping our school community safe and healthy year-round. Read more about weather safety, including the differences between an advisory, watch, and warning.
As a listening leader, connecting with community members across our school division is critical to Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. Dr. Reid’s Community Conversations are opportunities for you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Events will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) on:
Child care and interpretation services will be provided. Events are open to all. Visit the superintendent’s engagement page for the most up-to-date information.
