 Mark Your Calendar

• Keep up with important dates on our website calendar all year long at https://fcs.school/calendar.
• Monday, February 20, no school for President’s Day.
• The last day of the third quarter is Friday, March 31. It is a half day for students and the last day before spring break. No third-quarter work will be accepted after this date.
• April 3-10 is spring break. School resumes on Tuesday, April 11.
• IOWA standardized testing will take place the week of April 24-28. Do your best to have your children in school that week and arrive on time. Make up-tests are time consuming and students miss valuable classroom instructional time during make up testing.
• Friday, April 28 is our annual evening fundraising event. Save the date!
• Monday, May 29, Memorial Day Holiday. No school.

What a beautiful February day God has blessed us with today!

Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking, I compose songs on your wonders.

 ~Psalm 145:5

Have a great weekend!
