Comprehensive Planning for FCPS 2029 is Underway
Today, Monday, February 26, 2024, faculty and staff representatives worked in focus groups to analyze division-wide data they'd collected in the areas of Excellence in Education, Exemplary Staff, School & Community, Health & Wellness, and Facilities & Operations. Their highlights were shared with the larger group, and then focus groups planned edits to their documents by asking questions like:
Have we met the previous objectives? Are there objectives that are no longer needed? What needs to be added? Who is responsible for monitoring?
Focus groups also identified the data they used to determine their recommendations.

Hello families! We’ve set a goal to create a community of lifesavers by getting everyone to take Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, it can double (even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, take Finn’s Mission today to learn this lifesaving skill. Join our school team and complete Finn’s Mission www.heart.org/schools or join on the new app called “AHA schools” Thank you, Heart Heroes!
