Springfield Estates' Field Day will be on Friday, October 17 and we need your help to make this exciting day a success!
Please sign up to help via the Sign Up Genius here. Please note that new FCPS policies require those who want to help must register as a volunteer; it's quick and easy to do! Click here to sign up to volunteer for the Kindergarten through 3rd grade field and click here to help with the 4th through 6th grade event.
The primary purpose of field day is to provide a fun filled day of positive experiences that will allow students to apply skills learned in Physical Education. Volunteers help to:
- Explain the activity to each group of students. (Directions will be handed out when you arrive)
- Keep the station running smoothly and safely.
- Encourage all students to participate and cheer them on.
- Help manage equipment and reset the station between groups.
How stations work:
- Students will rotate to your station in class groups.
- Each group will spend about 7-8 minutes before moving on.
- Teachers and other staff will help with transitions.
- Your station should be fun, energetic, and welcoming for every student—no scores or winners are needed.
Thank you for helping to make Field Day amazing for our students!

Family Life Education Instructional Program Information
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms are available in Parent Digital Consent. Paper opt-out forms were sent in students folders on Friday, October 10. Students receiving special education services and accessing modified curriculum will receive a printed opt-out form for modified FLE lessons.
Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Elementary (K-6). FLE grade level-specific lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available for parents online in Schoology. Parents/guardians login to Schoology using the same username and password as their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account. Grade level-specific lessons are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media). Grade level-specific lessons and media that is not streamed online are available for review at your child’s school library. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media online.
Program questions may be addressed by contacting Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or by email to fle@fcps.edu.
