Parents – We Need Your Help!!!
Elementary dismissal is at 3:00 - M/S & H/S dismissal is at 3:10
If you need to pick your children up, please observe the dismissal times. We understand students,
from time to time, may need to be picked up for emergencies or appointments.
But . . . the confusion created by pre-dismissal pick-up makes it very difficult to manage.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
- George Oehlert, Principal

TEACHER/STAFF Info
**STAFF: Tues & Wed, Feb. 8 & 9, the AFLAC representatives will be at the FCS campus from 8:30am-3:30pm & will be
set up in the media center conference room. They will assist employees in signing up for the cafeteria “pre-tax”
health premium plan who could not do so a few weeks ago. Please come at your convenience, but remember that this
is not a “group” activity, and for privacy, is best to attend individually.
IRS guidelines require everyone to sign the form stating whether or not you wish to participate. If you previously
signed the form, then you are not required to attend this week.
The representatives are here for the purpose of assisting our employees in signing up for the “pre-tax” health
premium plan, but will also be available to help you determine if you need any further supplemental health coverage.
