🧡 Unity Day 2025 🧡

Our preschoolers proudly wore orange to celebrate Unity Day!

We talked about what it means to be a good friend, how to stand up for others, and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Last week our little penguins had so much fun with their parents and Mrs. Fannin for our monthly PACT Time. They read and sang about 5 little pumpkins and then designed their own! ✋🎃👻✨

🐟 Preschool River Explorers! 🐸🌿
Our preschoolers had an amazing time visiting our Friends of the Rappahannock last week! 💙🌎 From exploring the riverbank to wildlife all around, our little scientists were full of curiosity and wonder.

We learned more about plant, tree life and some characteristics of animals that visit the river area. The team at Friends of the Rappahannock made learning about nature fun, exciting, and meaningful. Thank you for helping our little ones connect with the natural world right in our backyard! 🌱🐾

About Our New Logo

Our new logo reflects the many dimensions of Fredericksburg City Public Schools, a system defined by connection, growth, and purpose. The interwoven lines represent the process of learning itself: dynamic, evolving, and rooted in the creation of new connections. Just as synapses in the brain build understanding through interaction, our students, staff, and community strengthen and expand through shared learning experiences.

The geometric framework also symbolizes the physical spaces where learning occurs across our city. When overlaid on a map of Fredericksburg, each blue point of connection aligns with one of our schools. The larger point indicates a shared site, emphasizing collaboration and shared purpose. All lines represent pathways connecting our schools across the City of Fredericksburg.

Together, these interconnected elements capture the essence of our division: We are a community of learners, growing through connection and commitment to Educating and Inspiring Every Child, Every Day.

🩷TOGETHER IN PINK! Wednesday, our students and staff showed unity and support by wearing pink!
It was inspiring to see our school community come together, dressed in pink to raise awareness and stand strong - for hope, compassion, and each other. #TogetherInPink #SchoolSpirit #CommunitySupport #PinkDay

💙Thank you to students and staff for showing their support during Go Gold Day! 💫Your compassion, spirit, and unity shine bright—and you wore that shine with purpose.

🌱 Garden Classes Are Back! 🌻
We’re so excited to kick off another year of garden sprouts with our amazing partners at Downtown Greens! 🌼✨
Each week, our little learners will dig into hands-on experiences—planting, watering, observing, and harvesting—while exploring the wonders of nature right in their own backyard. 🐛🍅🪴
This partnership helps us nurture curiosity, responsibility, and a love for the environment from the ground up. Here's to another season of growth and discovery! 💚

Please Note: We will be moving from daily updates to weekly updates starting next week.

Beginning Monday, September 15, Fredericksburg City Public School’s Transportation updates will be delivered through ParentSquare to bus route-specific groups. We created this mechanism internally and have tested it to be sure it works as designed. While we do not expect any issues Monday, there may be some as this is the first official roll-out. Our goal is to efficiently communicate with you.

All bus updates will be pushed as Alerts, which means all updates will be instantaneous.

Parents/Guardians and Secondary Students should expect to see a text message from 66458.

Please contact your child’s school if any additional recipients (Guests) need to be added to your child’s ParentSquare Alerts list.

Preschool families, we can't wait to see our returning friends and meet our new ones today! 🤝Please join us for orientation! 210 Ferdinand St. Suite 3 🏫🎒
Also, you may notice some new faces on our team. We are so excited to welcome all of you!!❤️🐧💙💪🏼
