• Please send a note with your student to the front office the morning of the early check out.
• Put the time you will check out your student in the note.
• The note becomes the students PASS to leave class and meet you at the front desk.
• We do not call into classrooms as not to interrupt instructional time.

If you have question about this please contact Carman Anderson, Jackie Dejo or Patricia Movilla-Leal.

District policy for visitors:

We have a 3-step process for ALL visitors entering our building who will be here longer than 15 minutes (conferences, meetings, and tours, etc.). This does not apply to parents checking students out.

• Visitors are required to take the Wellness Check that is posted at the front doors of the school by scanning the QR Code.
• Go to the temperature check-in desk where you will log your name, date, and temperature.
• Then enter the front office where you will present your drivers license to be scanned into our badge system (Raptor) and receive a visitor badge.

FCS COVID 19 Reporting

Due to the ever-changing nature of this pandemic, the district will continue to monitor COVID data and recommendations, consult with public health officials, and make additional adjustments as necessary. If your child is sick, please keep them home. Families are still required to report a confirmed positive case of COVID-19, a pending COVID-19 test result (regardless of the reason for testing), and a direct contact with a person who is COVID-19 positive. FCS student/parents must use the Parent Reporting Portal to make the COVID-19 report.
