To help us prepare for the upcoming school year, we are seeking parent/family input to build class lists for the 26-27 school year. Please take a moment to complete the optional input form below. 

Sharing input about your students' areas of strength, need and interest will help our staff build balanced, effective classes that meet student needs. Also, sharing other circumstances that may be unique to your student can also be considered.

Please do not share requests for specific teachers and placement with specific students. In building class lists for over 600 students, it is not possible to meet all requests. Feedback that includes requests for specific teachers will not be included in our review.

1.) Please describe your child's strengths and areas of need.

2.) Are there any extenuating circumstances or factors that may influence our decision regarding placement for the 2026-2027 school year?

Please provide all input through the link below (Deadline: May 22nd). Emailed comments will not be considered.

Flint Hill Elementary - Class Placement Input 26-27

Thank you for helping FHES prepare for the upcoming school year!

 Our kindergarten open house is being held on Wednesday, May 13th at 1:45 pm to give parents of students entering school in August an opportunity to learn more about kindergarten at our school. 

We recognize that parents are their children’s first teachers. Resources on the School Readiness and Transition to Kindergarten webpage provide parents with ways to support their children to help ensure a smooth transition to kindergarten. 

There’s also an easy-to-follow five-step process outlined for registering your child for kindergarten. Register your child today! Contact our registrar, Mrs. Eason, at SAEason@fcps.edu or 703-242-6100 with any questions.

At Flint Hill, we're committed to providing every student with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive both during the school year and over the summer.     

This summer, all students will be allowed to check out a technology device that will support continued growth.  This will ensure continued access to tools such as ST Math and Benchmark Universe that allow students to work at their own pace and level. Programs like these adapt to each child's needs, providing extra support in areas where they're building skills and advancing them when they're ready for more challenges. This opportunity will allow students to continue their personalized learning at home, to develop digital literacies and important routines around managing their technology.

More information coming soon.

Calling All FHES Parent Volunteers!

We’re looking for parent volunteers to help with Field Day activities! Volunteers will assist teachers and students in all grade levels (according to grouping above)  at various stations, help with transitions, and keep the event running smoothly.

If you’d like to join the fun, please sign up using the SignUpGenius link below. Stations will be assigned closer to the event date. At check-in, you’ll receive a name sticker with your assigned station, along with station details and a Field Day map. Flint Hill specialists will also be available to help and answer any questions you may have.

We are seeking volunteers to support grades 4–6 from 9:30–11:30 AM (please arrive at 9:10 AM) and grades K–3 from 12:30–2:30 PM (please arrive at 12:10 PM).

Note: VOLUNTEER SPOTS FOR K-3 ARE FULL!

If all spots are taken and you’d still like to participate, please add your name to the waitlist. Periodically, volunteers may need to cancel, and we will contact you directly if a spot becomes available.

We kindly ask that siblings who are not currently enrolled at FHES do not attend Field Day. If you are planning to volunteer, please make alternative arrangements for siblings. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us create a safe and enjoyable event for all students.

We are also collecting donations of freeze pops for Field Day. We are specifically looking for the “freeze-and-eat” variety, which will be frozen ahead of the event. To help keep all students safe, please ensure that donations are allergy-conscious and, if possible, produced in a nut-free facility (for example, the Fla-Vor-Ice brand).
