See You AT the Pole!- October 19
See you at the pole is a global time of prayer on October 19. Our students will meet at our school flagpole at 9:00AM to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school and nation to God. It is student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led.
We would love to have you join us on this special time of prayer.

From Our Athletic Director
Elementary Athletics: Eaglet basketball registration will begin Monday, October 10th and will close Monday, October 31st. The first day of Eaglet basketball will officially begin Thursday, November 3rd. Please be on the lookout for more information via e-mail & hard copies coming home with your K-4 student!
Middle School Athletics: Middle school girls and boys basketball sign-ups will begin Monday, October 10th and will close Friday, October 21st. The first practice for both boys and girls basketball will be Monday, October 24th.
All Volleyball games and practices are uncertain at this time. We will let you know more early next week.
Attention sports parents: We will have a new cell phone and iPad policy for sports this year. When students come over to the gym to change and for practice, they will be required to put their phones in the lock box located in the gym (as they do in the middle school building during school hours). Athletes will also be required to leave their book bags (iPads) in the gym before going into the locker room. This will prevent all cell phones and iPads from going into the locker rooms. There will also be no cell phones/iPads used on the way to games. Being that parents are required to drive their students/teammates, we are asking for your assistance with this. Please contact me with any questions (bgrannis@fmcs-fl.com).

Lunch Procedure
The Cafeteria Staff are so excited to welcome you back to FMCS. This year is going to be a great year. I know some students will be bringing their own lunches and others will take advantage of the meals we prepare daily in the cafeteria. We are requiring that all orders be placed by the night before. Our cafeteria staff want you to be aware that you must ORDER IN ADVANCE (the menu is available at least a month ahead in FACTS). Ordering ahead does not mean you are charged ahead - No meal is charged until after lunches are served. Should a student forget their lunch we do offer a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich or a Cheese Sandwich. Thanks so much for your assistance with this procedure and your support of our lunch program.
We are asking that all payments for lunch are made in FACTS instead of cash.
