The FCS Atoms Update!
Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! We are excited to welcome our new scholars and our returning scholars tomorrow morning at 7:45 am. If you are going on the orientation trip, remember we leave after 1st period Monday and return on Tuesday before buses depart. Our staff is ready to provide all of our scholars with a rigorous, interdisciplinary learning experience that fosters the joy of discovery, and to promote a collaborative culture of innovative problem-solving. I am honored to serve Foothills Community School in which all of our staff and families work together to help students grow and experience learning.
It is important to note that there will be changes in the traffic patterns for FCS/WMMS/MHS car riders. Please read about those changes here: http://bit.ly/2LnlEtP
Thanks!

Volunteers Needed
A new school year begins and volunteers are always a vital part of our schools' success.
Each year between July 1st and October 31st all approved volunteers must verify their intent to continue volunteering by updating their background check online, or complete an initial application here: http://bit.ly/2P7an2S by clicking volunteer, and completing the application.
On November 1st any active volunteer who has not completed the reactivation process will be automatically inactivated and will no longer be able to volunteer at any McDowell County School. To be re-activated at this point requires a new criminal background request to be completed (adding additional, unnecessary cost to MCS. $$$).
