About Our New Logo
Our new logo reflects the many dimensions of Fredericksburg City Public Schools, a system defined by connection, growth, and purpose. The interwoven lines represent the process of learning itself: dynamic, evolving, and rooted in the creation of new connections. Just as synapses in the brain build understanding through interaction, our students, staff, and community strengthen and expand through shared learning experiences.
The geometric framework also symbolizes the physical spaces where learning occurs across our city. When overlaid on a map of Fredericksburg, each blue point of connection aligns with one of our schools. The larger point indicates a shared site, emphasizing collaboration and shared purpose. All lines represent pathways connecting our schools across the City of Fredericksburg.
Together, these interconnected elements capture the essence of our division: We are a community of learners, growing through connection and commitment to Educating and Inspiring Every Child, Every Day.

Please Note: We will be moving from daily updates to weekly updates starting next week.
Beginning Monday, September 15, Fredericksburg City Public School’s Transportation updates will be delivered through ParentSquare to bus route-specific groups. We created this mechanism internally and have tested it to be sure it works as designed. While we do not expect any issues Monday, there may be some as this is the first official roll-out. Our goal is to efficiently communicate with you.
All bus updates will be pushed as Alerts, which means all updates will be instantaneous.
Parents/Guardians and Secondary Students should expect to see a text message from 66458.
Please contact your child’s school if any additional recipients (Guests) need to be added to your child’s ParentSquare Alerts list.
