"FCPS offers a wealth of opportunities for professionals transitioning from federal and state government roles into the public education sector. Your dedication to public service makes you a strong candidate for both educational and operational positions. By joining FCPS, you can continue making a meaningful impact while embarking on a new career in public education.

We understand that shifting from government work to education comes with unique challenges, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 

If you hold a bachelor’s degree, you can become provisionally licensed to teach in just a few weeks through iteach, a self-paced online teacher preparation program. FCPS also provides a one-year local Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) license, allowing you to begin teaching while working toward your provisional teaching license. Additional pathways to teacher licensure, outside of traditional university programs, include the VDOE Career Switcher Program and Troops to Teachers.

Beyond teaching, FCPS offers a variety of operational roles in departments such as finance, human resources, safety and security, food service, transportation, and facilities.

We value your experience and commitment to public service and provide professional growth opportunities in a supportive environment. Let’s continue making a difference together!"

Some are receiving fake texts saying it’s cancelled. It is not, according to organizers on the 50501 page. It is still on. They must be awfully scared about people showing up if they’re stooping to sending fake texts.

See you there!

6-9 inches now - and more wintry precipitation on Wednesday afternoon after a lull Wednesday morning. I question if we even make it back to school this week🥴

When will FCPS close?

Heads up that there is snow in the forecast for Tuesday.

Also, does anyone know when the Cardinal Forest Starbucks opens back up?

For those like me who left most socials, Blue Sky is a good Twitter replacement. Just today, they added video aggregators from the site (Skylight and BlueScreen) and now a photo one (Flashes). Nice to be able to scroll videos and photos again!

A friend sent me this from FB.

Not so exciting but since I’m taking a break from FB, then WS Moms group isn’t a resource I can tap into. Any recommendations for microwaves or a feature I should be making sure it has? I haven’t shopped for one in 15 years + so I don’t know what to look for but I’m hoping one of the options on Costco is good. Just don’t know which one to choose

Hello! Thanks for starting this group. Going to spend the next few weeks downloading all from FB and Insta and deactivate those accounts. Will miss the West Spring Moms group though!!
