Re-energize. Renovate. Rebuild. Repurpose.

Join Superintendent Jones for the FCS Future Focused Forum/Parent Meeting - Important Updates for Our School Community.

Our vision of "Reenergizing the Pride, Renovating the Plans, Rebuilding the Possibilities, and Repurposing for a brighter future" is becoming a reality. And this is just the beginning. We are setting the stage for our scholars to excel in an environment that is safe and secure but also vibrant and forward-thinking.

Exciting and positive changes are on the horizon for our school community, and it's crucial that with these changes, our hearts and minds must also evolve and embrace the opportunities they bring. As we journey toward a brighter future, let us open our hearts to the possibilities and expand our minds to new horizons.

Change is often the catalyst for growth and progress, and our school community is poised for a transformation that will benefit us all. It's a time to cultivate a spirit of unity, adaptability, and optimism. Together, we can shape these changes into learning, collaboration, and innovation opportunities.

Let us remember that our shared commitment to the betterment of our school community is what propels us forward. With open hearts and open minds, we can make these positive changes a reality and a source of inspiration and empowerment for all.

We are excited to extend an invitation to our upcoming FCS Future Focused Forum Family Engagement Meeting, where we will address critical topics that directly impact our staff and scholars and their educational journey. Your presence and input are highly valued, and we encourage you to join us for this informative session.

Embrace the change, for it is the pathway to a brighter future for our school community.
