Reflections From the Principal
It has been an emotional week for educators, students, and families across the state of Indiana. While we anticipated the announcement might be coming, actually hearing the words come out of Governor Holcomb's mouth was devastating. The teachers, staff, administrators and students are heartbroken. With that being said, we will move forward and make the best of this tough situation.
I would like to mention that we have sent a google form asking for parent/guardian permission for teachers to contact your student via a live platform (ie: Zoom meetings). While teachers will be reaching out to your students in some fashion regardless, it would be helpful to get as many parent/guardian permission forms completed as possible. The consent form can be found here:

It is extremely important that you check your email. Over the course of the last week, we have sent information via email address. If you have not checked your email, please do so ASAP.
Lastly, I would like to make sure you are aware of the SEFSC COVID-19 website. The link to the website can be found on the button below. Please make sure to check the Jr/Sr High School page frequently, as we will be updating information as it becomes available. Also, each school is listed with personnel for school-specific questions (administration, athletics, guidance, technology, etc.), however, if you find yourself with a question and you just aren't sure where to send the question, we have created a COVID19info@sefschools.org email address that will send an email to the administrative team and we will respond accordingly.
We know that students and families are in the midst of tough times. We want you to know that we are here for you and will do all we can to support you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for anything you might need. We will get through this together!
Yours in education,

FC Families,
We have never experienced anything like this before. School is cancelled and we are all scrambling to figure out what that looks like. As Mrs. Hammond said, we are reaching out to your kids and we are still available if your family should need anything. While you shelter in place with your family, I just wanted to take a moment and encourage you to use this time to continue to build your student’s social and emotional learning skills (SEL). There is no better time to help your child learn how to cope, how to handle stress, and how to deal with this unprecedented situation. Below is a link for 10 easy ways that you can reinforce SEL in your home.
As always, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask. We are all in this together.
