The FCS Atoms Update
Sept. 30- Oct 4
The month of October has some amazing things coming up! Our first project is due and students will work on their service project to put their ideas into action to improve the advocacy for food systems in McDowell County. Please be on the look out for information from your student's family teacher about the service project that they will be participating in.
Oct. 2nd is Safety Day for our 6th-grade students! This event is a lot of fun for our kids.
Oct. 4th the NC School of Science and Math will be here to present to our interested 8th graders.
Free and Reduced Applications for McDowell County Schools
Now you can apply on-line for your children to receive free or reduced-price school meals. Your application will be sent from a secure web site directly to the McDowell County Schools Nutrition office, so you don’t need to worry about filling out a paper form that could be lost or misplaced.
LunchApplication.com is an easy, secure and convenient way to apply for free or reduced meals. It has been designed to make it easy for you to know exactly what information you need to provide and to guide you through the process. Once your application has been received the district office will determine your eligibility and send you a letter with the results.
To apply, simply go to LunchApplication.com or CLICK HERE to apply now!

A new school year begins and volunteers are always a vital part of our schools' success. Please reactivate or renew!
Urgent: Volunteer Re-activation: All approved volunteers must verify their intent to continue volunteering by updating their background check online (MCS website, parents, volunteer, volunteer application).
On November 1st any active volunteer who has not completed the re-activation process will automatically be in-activated and will no longer be able to volunteer at any McDowell County School location. To be re-activated at this point requires a new criminal background check to be completed.
Thank you!
