Greetings to all of our FCS Family!

I hope to use this space to share with you all tidbits of information, reminders or little notes that will help us to keep in better communication. While we still intend to send home hard copies of information I plan to use the website as much as possible so that the students and families of FCS have a central location to find ALL school information and updates. Please bear with us as we make this transition.

Thank you,

Linda Foster
