The FCS Atoms Update!
I hope you have had a wonderful summer! It is hard to believe that this August already! In this issue of The FCS Atom Update, you will find information to sign up for Going for the Goal, a time for scholars to meet with their family teacher, set goals and get schedules (FCS version of Open House). Please check out the information and link below to sign up for a time to participate. Scholars in 7th or 8th-grade meeting with Mr. Hunt our AIG coordinator and Ms. Powell our Exceptional Children's coordinator will receive an alternative goal setting date on Aug. 16th (please look for this via email).
This issue of the weekly update also brings us to a joyful introduction of our new math teacher! Many of you might recall the introduction several months ago of Heather Willis, unfortunately, due to unforeseen events, Ms. Willis resigned from her post. But we are excited to welcome Mr. Julius Abel Bicos Galpao to the FCS family. Mr. Galpao is a veteran teaching from the Philippines and will be arriving in our area during the week before school starts. He is very excited to join us and has sent a video to you (see above). Mr. Galpao has taught upper middle school and high school, he has a long list of amazing math accomplishments and will do a great job of challenging our students to think about math differently!
If you missed the deadline for the orientation trip, please contact me as soon as possible. We want every student to participate in this event!
All the paperwork for the summer reading project, Chromebooks, and trip can still be found below. There is also new information regarding the lunch program below.
Thanks!
