The Weekly Update
5/22-5/26
Testing Starts this Week!
Below are test dates, tests delivered and times. Because of our small size and limited space, we have testing in morning and afternoon sessions.
Your child's attendance is crucial.
What is my child doing if they are not testing?
At FCS, we want to fill each minute with enjoyment and an opportunity to learn. To learn about our world. The activities planned (although they look like just fun), actually have educational value and align with the NCSCOS. During times that students are not testing, they will be off campus at the MHS Aux. gym.
5/30-am/pm- Hidden Figures
5/31-am/pm- Physical Workout & Board Games
6/1-am/pm- Art Projects
6/2-am/pm-Duct Tape Challenge
6/5-am/pm-TBD
