Notes From The Nurse
The clinic is in need of gently used boys athletic pants and girls leggings/athletic pants. If you have those items that your child has outgrown, please consider donating them to the FCI clinic. Mrs. Gump lends them to students who occasionally get wet/muddy at recess. The clinic is currently low on those specific items. Thank you!
5th GRADE PARENT NIGHT - CREATING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS
Karyn Mitchel from Creating Positive Relationships (CPR) is hosting a Parent Seminar for FCI 5th grade parents on Wednesday, March 11, 2020 at 6:30pm in the FCI cafeteria.
CPR curriculum is NOT taught in the 5th grade. Instead, the parent information session is offered to support conversations at home.
At the parent support meeting, strategies will be given to parents on how to begin conversations that help your child navigate the changes that occur physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially during puberty. While this evening is designed for 5th grade parents specifically, all parents are welcome.
ATTENTION ALL 6TH GRADE PARENTS:
ATTENTION ALL 6TH GRADE PARENTS:
Creating Positive Relationships (CPR) is a curriculum developed to build character in young people, empowering them to develop healthy relationships, benefitting their communities and society. The curriculum focuses on teaching students the basics of puberty and sexually transmitted infections (STI’s); personal relationships; physical, emotional, social and mental health; love vs. crush; and media/technology impact on relationships. This year, the Creating Positive Relationships curriculum will be taught by FCI’s physical education teachers to all 6th grade students during the PE rotation prior to spring break (March 11-26, 2020).
If you DO NOT wish for your child to participate in the CPR curriculum, please print, sign & return the exemption sheet (in the link below) to your child’s homeroom teacher.
If no written response is received prior to the start of CPR instruction, your child will participate in the Creating Positive Relationships curriculum. Should you have questions or concerns about CPR, please contact your child’s PE teacher for more information.

Launch(ed) Women in Technology Conference
During the event, the students learn how robots are built, experience a virtual reality flight simulator, see innovative products such as a 3D printer in action and meet professionals from a variety of career paths including art, medical, engineering and more. It’s an exciting time in Indiana as our school districts, universities and state leaders direct more resources to respond to the future needs of business and industry.
Back by popular demand, the 3rd Annual Launch(ed) Women in Technology will be offered twice – Feb. 24 and Feb. 25, 2020 and will be held at Launch Fishers. See attached for the Save the Date.

News From The Band Department
Attention All 6th Grade Students & Parents
ATTENTION ALL 6th GRADE STUDENTS AND PARENTS!
The FCJH Band, Choir, and Orchestra Programs WANT YOU! You have an exciting opportunity to participate in band, choir, or orchestra next year at FCJH. Participants will learn how to read music and how to play an instrument or develop your abilities as a vocalist. Classes will meet every day at FCJH just like any other academic class. Every student at FCJH receives SOAR time (comparable to our current SLT time), even the students in a performance ensemble!!!!! Students who are not currently in band, choir, or orchestra have the opportunity to join at FCJH.
“Research shows that students who participate in musical ensembles at school have higher attendance rates and test scores. Even more, new studies show that making music with peers as part of the school day can lead to increased levels of empathy and can lead to making friends faster!”
All you need to do is put band, choir, or orchestra on your schedule as an elective! Students who are currently in band or orchestra simply need to write down band or orchestra to continue to participate next year!
Grab your friends and don’t miss out on all of the fun! COME BE IN THE PERFORMING ARTS!!
Students in the FCJH Band, Choir, and Orchestra take a trip to Kings Island at the end of the school year!
For questions or more information please contact Ms. Hamaker, Mr. Spidel, Ms. Yoder, or Mr. Wirtz!

Parent Project
Dear Parent,
Hamilton Southeastern Schools and Hamilton County Department of Probation Services have teamed up to offer the Parent Project® to parents beginning on February 11, 2020. The class will meet at 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for 11 weeks at Fishers High School.
If you’re interested in learning how you can prevent arguments with your child, improve their school attendance, and performance or prevent or intervene in alcohol and other drug use, then Parent Project® may be for you. Please read below for more information:
What is Parent Project®?
It is a 11-week program designed specifically for parents of strong-willed or emotionally intense adolescent children. The curriculum involves concrete prevention, identification and intervention strategies for the most destructive of adolescent behaviors (poor school attendance and performance, alcohol and other drug use, runaways and violent teens, etc.). Click here to watch a brief video on the program.
How does it work?
Parents meet one night a week for approximately three hours. Parents receive and work within an activity-based 216-page curriculum, “A Parent’s Guide to Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior,” available only to program participants. Parent Support Groups are formed using the UCLA self-help support group model. The program is oriented toward behavior modification.
Why should I attend this class when it’s my kid who got in trouble?
It is important to recognize this program is not a “parenting class” designed to “teach people how to be better parents.” This program is designed to offer parents strategies in dealing with strong-willed and emotionally intense children. It also offers parents support and encouragement as they deal with difficult circumstances. This program requires 33 hours of classroom work – less than a single work-week for an opportunity to make a significant improvement in family relationships. We believe that every parent who has successfully completed the program at the Hamilton County Juvenile Services Center has walked away with something positive to show for their efforts.
If you would like more details about the program, please visit www.parentproject.com, or contact Rob Evans at 317-776-5856 or by email at rob.evans@hamiltoncounty.in.gov. The class begins February 11, 2020.
