Tea Time: FCPS News for June 22

Fredericksburg City Public Schools recently launched its AI Division Leadership Team to explore how we can use artificial intelligence to support teaching, learning, communication, and operations across the division. The team's priorities include developing clear guidance for AI use, piloting practical tools that save time and strengthen instruction, and building staff confidence through shared learning. Our goal is to foster excitement, establish guardrails, and prepare FCPS for thoughtful, innovative use of AI tools.

The Fredericksburg City Public Schools Food Service Program will run between Monday, June 15, 2026, and Thursday, July 23, 2026, Monday through Thursday. All children ages 1–18 are eligible to receive a meal. Children must be present in order to receive a meal and are required to eat the meal at the location where it is served. Parents are not permitted to pick up meals on behalf of their children. Please visit our website for dates and locations.

The 2026–27 Instructional Calendar reflects a thoughtful balance of instructional time, scheduled breaks, and professional learning days designed to support student success and family planning. We encourage families and staff to review the calendar as they begin looking ahead to the upcoming school year.

We know that all families can benefit from a helping hand from time to time, whether it's connecting with local services, finding activities for kids, or learning about programs that make life a little easier. Our community is fortunate to have many wonderful organizations and resources available to support families in a variety of ways. Below, you'll find information about local programs and services that may be helpful to you and your family. We encourage everyone to explore these resources—many offer valuable support that can benefit families at any stage.

We want to thank School Social Worker Cat Eicke for compiling these incredible resources and helping connect our families with the support and services that strengthen our entire FCPS community!
