Shoutout to Dr. Waddell’s talented students for building this custom boot rack for Mr. Phillips’ welding classes! It’s incredible to see our students using their skills to solve problems and support their peers. This is just the beginning - stay tuned for more innovative storage solutions coming out of our shop!
Greetings Bryant Families!
Our students have successfully wrapped up the 3rd quarter, and I am thrilled to share that our chronic absenteeism rate continues to drop. Compared to this time last year, we are down by 8.7%. I want to extend a sincere thank you for your partnership in stressing the importance of daily attendance. As we head into the final quarter of the year, now is the time to push through and stay focused on our academic goals, as that finish line—the graduation stage on June 1—is quickly approaching for many of our students.
To celebrate our recent achievements and send everyone off into the break with a positive spirit, we held our monthly Wellness Day today. It was a wonderful afternoon where students were able to relax, enjoy snacks, and hang out with friends while engaging in creative activities like painting tote bags and creating diamond art mosaics on compact mirrors. It was the perfect way to recharge and celebrate our community’s hard work. We wish everyone a restful Spring Break and look forward to seeing all of our students back on campus on Tuesday, April 7.
Take Care!

Summer Student Intern Program Applications Open
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.
