Semester 2 Grading Changes

As a reminder, this semester the district will go back to policy IHA with two exceptions.


A. Recovery

1. All students will have one(1) attempt to redo/retake summative assignments.

2. Eligibility for a redo/retake is for students who receive a 79 or below.

3. Students are eligible to earn a replacement grade on a redo/retake no higher than 79.

4. Student redo/retakes must be completed before the next summative assessment is given or 5 school days before the end of a marking period if there is not another summative assessment given (exceptions can be made for students who have excused absences during this five-day window).


B. Incompletes

1. FCS will adopt a NO ZERO policy for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.

2. Students with missing assignments will be given an Incomplete (I).

3. Students who have not completed 80% of their summative assessments will be given an Incomplete (I) for the marking period.


Teachers will provide students and parents a syllabus containing the general content of the class and a clear explanation of the procedures by which the final grade will be determined.

Yearbook Information

Yearbook Information

As you know, this year is different than any other school year we’ve experienced. So, our yearbook will be a bit different too! The yearbook staff would love for YOU to submit photos to be featured in this year’s book! There are two ways you can do this: it’s super easy-this can be done by both in person and virtual learners (option 1 or 2), and families/parents (option 2 only). Parents, please encourage your student to use option one as it will help with general yearbook content.


  1. ***FOR STUDENTS-will require Microsoft Login*** Click here to see a list of specific categories in which we need pictures-if you have any of these, fill out the correct form and upload your photos.
  2. *For anyone to use-no login required* Click here to submit any photos, including photos that do not fit into one of the above forms-we need those too! (if user ID needed use this: 415464602)
