September is ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH!
2020 Theme: Attendance Matters Beyond the Classroom
Additionally, we have very varied scheduling this year: (The traditional five-day a week in person schedule for K-6, an alternating schedule (Silver/Blue days) for 7-12, blended virtual, etc.) However, all types of instructional models and schedules rely on good communication, student engagement, and active participation for students to be successful.
Thank you parents & students for doing your part to be at school and involved - whether in-person or online!
Click the images below for more info about the importance of attendance in early grades.
2019-20 YEARBOOKS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!
- If you purchased a yearbook last year, you should have already received it or be receiving it soon (Hibbett and Florence Middle School traditional students).
- Virtual students who purchased a book last year may pick up their book at their current school (HIS/FMS).
We have a few extras!
Any student who would still like to purchase last year's yearbook may still purchase one for $32.

‼️ Important Changes to Payments for School Fees and Student Lunch Accounts ‼️
We will be using MySchoolBucks.com to collect student fees this year
While Florence City Schools students ALL receive FREE breakfast & lunch, parents may add money for "extras" to student lunch accounts through www.myschoolbucks.com.
Parents and students can also pay fees online using the “Falcon Fund Donation” option on MySchoolBucks.
Currently, the site can be reached using the following two (2) methods:
1 – Pay online at www.myschoolbucks.com
2 – Use the My School Bucks app
Very Important: When paying fees in "Falcon Fund Donation" section, you must put the student’s name and what they are paying for in the comments section. (Example: Jane Doe-Hibbett 6 Gray-Team Shirt-Small) You can use this for team shirts, PTO dues, and any miscellaneous fees.
REMINDER: If you pay for a school fee or shirt via MySchoolBucks, PLEASE ALSO EMAIL YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER TO LET HIM/HER KNOW YOU HAVE PAID.
