Students at Preschool Programs had a wonderful experience yesterday at the Children's theater at Riverside Center for the Performing Arts watching Seussical Jr! Students were amazed with the environment of lights, singing and wonderful performers! #FCPS#PreschoolPrograms#Penguins🐧#SeussicalJr#RiversideTheater

Fredericksburg City Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 14.
The forecast suggests below freezing temperatures this evening and into the morning which will make invisible ice a significant possibility tomorrow morning on area roads.
Out of an abundance of caution, we will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 14. This will provide us time to reassess, as necessary, in the morning.
Again, we apologize for the late notification. Our intent is to give families and staff sufficient notice this evening and not wait until morning to make a decision and notify our community.

Fredericksburg City Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Thursday, February 13. City roads and FCPS parking lots appear to be in excellent condition. We expect the coming rain and warmer temperatures to help melt the snow. Out of an abundance of caution, this should provide both safe travel times and the opportunity for us to re-assess, as necessary, in the morning.


Happy snow day! Ms. Manns students had fun during indoor recess with some indoor ice skating!
