The FCS Atoms Update
Jan 7th- Jan 11th
The FCS Atoms Update!
This week we will take our NWEA mid-year MAP test. MAP testing is completed during the regular class period time and helps us to assess what information along the learning continuum students still need in order to reach their goals.
Students will also be able to attend the HS choice meeting on Jan. 8th. This presentation will inform students about the 3 different options they have for high school. On Jan. 24th (WMMS gym) and Jan 29th (EMMS auditorium) there will be parent nights to hear a similar presentation before applications go live on Jan. 24th.
This week our 2019-2020 application also goes live! This application is for any new student interested in attending FCS next year. (Students already admitted to FCS do not need to reapply). Applications will be open until Feb 28th, 2019. FCS student representatives will be heading out to schools to host information nights and student days to answer questions and promote the amazing things we do at FCS. https://goo.gl/forms/blOmRoxZFPZH11E82
On Jan. 17th from 5:00-9:00 pm we will be having a public showing of our top student made Space Survival Movies at McDowell High School in the auditorium. We hope that all of you will be there for the reveal of the top performers and celebrate our scholar's hard work!
Thank you for your support for the FCS Snow Ball 2019. We always enjoy seeing our students decked out and having fun! This event specifically raised money for our Student Council to attend leadership programs and host other fun events for the school throughout the year.
