To help us prepare for the upcoming school year, we are seeking parent/family input to build class lists for the 26-27 school year. Please take a moment to complete the optional input form below. 

Sharing input about your students' areas of strength, need and interest will help our staff build balanced, effective classes that meet student needs. Also, sharing other circumstances that may be unique to your student can also be considered.

Please do not share requests for specific teachers and placement with specific students. In building class lists for over 600 students, it is not possible to meet all requests. Feedback that includes requests for specific teachers will not be included in our review.

1.) Please describe your child's strengths and areas of need.

2.) Are there any extenuating circumstances or factors that may influence our decision regarding placement for the 2026-2027 school year?

Please provide all input through the link below (Deadline: May 22nd). Emailed comments will not be considered.

Flint Hill has demonstrated its commitment to taking a whole-community approach to preparing its students to think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate while preparing them for the perils that exist in the online realm, such as plagiarism, loss of privacy, and cyberbullying.

The recognition acknowledges our school's commitment to creating a culture of digital citizenship. 

We're honored to be recognized as a Common Sense School. By preparing our students to use technology safely and responsibly, we are providing them an opportunity to build lifelong habits to help them succeed in a tech-driven world.

We would like rising 5th and 6th grase students to invite you to join the Flint Hill Chorus. Our Chorus will meet during the school day every week. There is no cost to join. During our rehearsal time each week we will work on developing our listening and singing skills, singing a variety of music, and promoting teamwork through the choral arts. Students may be in chorus and band or strings.

While students do not audition to be in chorus, we will expect all members to attend rehearsals regularly and participate respectfully. Being a member of the Flint Hill Chorus will be a year-long commitment. Chorus will begin in the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year.

We will have opportunities to perform! Stay tuned for more information. For sixth graders, being a member of the Flint Hill Chorus is a prerequisite for auditioning for the FCPS 6th Grade All-County Chorus. To join Chorus please fill out the form online.
