Our Motto
Our Beliefs
Beliefs
Positive relationships are vital to the success of our school.
Instructional excellence must be the focus of every day.
All people are capable of learning something every day when presented with the opportunity to do so paired with the expectations that they can.
School must be a safe place to learn. All people must feel safe academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
All students must have access to a challenging curriculum and staff must have access to professional development and growth opportunities.
Collaboration is essential and drives achievement.
All voices matter.

FLEX (Flexible Learning Experience)
FLEX is a 30 minute period where students are able to receive additional instruction, complete make-up or missing work, study, read, complete enrichment and exploratory projects/assignments. This period of time is used also for scheduled literacy and math enhanced instruction as needed, and school-wide assemblies when applicable. At FCMS, we will use this time for our exploratory clubs as well.

Message from Nurse Hazen
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) wants to assure that all children and teens receive recommended vaccines to prevent disease. DHEC reminds parents and guardians that South Carolina law requires that all students entering 7th grade receive one (1) dose of Tdap vaccine. The Tdap vaccine protects preteens and teens from three serious diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is important to know that there are three other vaccines that all preteens and teens are recommended to receive: human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, a cancer prevention vaccine, meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) that prevents some types of meningitis, and the yearly flu vaccine.
Talk to your child’s health care provider now about what vaccines he or she needs. You should also ask about these vaccines at a physical exam required for sports or camp. Don’t forget to make sure you get an updated SC Certificate of Immunization at the visit to give to your school nurse. This certificate is required by state law for school attendance.
Your local DHEC health department also can provide these vaccines. Call 1-855-472-3432 to make an appointment. For more information about vaccinations in South Carolina, go to http://scdhec.gov/Health/Vaccinations/
School Starts August 16th
We cannot wait to see you and create traditions with you!
