🚌Happy National School Bus Driver and Aide Appreciation Day! 🚌

The job is not done when the last stop is complete. Post-trip inspections help ensure every student has safely exited and each bus is secure for the next day. Thank you to our drivers for your attention to detail.

Take a moment to see everything that goes into a post-trip inspection.

This week, we are highlighting the important work our transportation team does each day to keep students safe.

Before the first stop is made, safety comes first. Our drivers carefully complete pre-trip inspections each day to ensure every bus is safe and ready to roll. Thank you to our drivers for starting every route with care.

Our preschoolers had the sweetest adventure on their field trip downtown at the Central Rappahannock Regional Library! 📚✨
We gathered for story time, explored shelves full of colorful books, and practiced choosing stories that sparked our curiosity. Students lipped through pages and shared their finds with friends. Even more special, some received their very first library cards! 💳📖 Moments like these remind us that a love of reading starts early and lasts a lifetime. 💛 We can’t wait for our next two visits this month!

Wednesday our preschoolers took part in a meaningful and colorful activity, planting pinwheels alongside members of the Fredericksburg Women’s Club in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month. 💙

Each spinning pinwheel represents the bright, hopeful future every child deserves. It was a great opportunity for learners to engage in a simple act that carries such an important message, raising awareness and supporting safety for all. A big thank you to the Women’s Club for partnering with us and making this experience happen annually.

FCPS Welcomes Acors as New Mental Health and Safety Coordinator

During its March 2, 2026, meeting, the Fredericksburg City School Board approved the appointment of Tiffany Acors as Mental Health and Safety Coordinator.

Acors most recently served with Spotsylvania County Public Schools as Director of School Counseling, where she led school counseling student-based mental health teams, implemented school-wide support programs, and developed and monitored a comprehensive school counseling program aligned with state and national standards.

Her previous experience includes serving as a School Counselor for Northumberland County Public Schools and an English and Theater teacher with Richmond County Public Schools, where she focused on building strong relationships with students while supporting both academic and social development.

Acors holds a Master of Education in School Counseling from Liberty University, a Master of Education as a Reading Program Specialist (PreK-12) from Liberty University, and a Bachelor of Science in Education, English 7-12 from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.

“I am committed to fostering a safe and responsive learning environment that promotes a positive climate and student well-being,” said Acors.

Superintendent Dr. Marci Catlett emphasized the importance of the role in supporting students and staff across the division.

“Positions like Mental Health and Safety Coordinator are essential to the well-being of our school communities,” said Dr. Catlett. “Ms. Acors brings both the professional expertise and the compassionate leadership needed to support students, staff, and families. Her work will help ensure that our schools remain safe, responsive environments where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.”

Fredericksburg City Public Schools looks forward to the leadership and experience Ms. Acors brings to this important role and proudly welcomes her to the FCPS community.
