Thanks to County Market for the special treat for our new staff today!
Thanks for coming out to get your chrome books FCHS! Just a reminder: we are here 1-4 PM tomorrow in Room 625 for pick up.
Reminder that Chromebook distribution at FCHS begins this afternoon at 4pm! Parent/ Guardian AND student must be present to review and sign off on the policy agreement.
As many of you are aware, vehicles are becoming less and less aware of the expectations while driving in the presence of a school bus, which has led to several accidents across the nation. With Illinois Central’s assistance, the district has added stop arm cameras and updated some of the fleet with dual stop arm features. Beginning this year, students who are being dropped and picked up on Route 116 will only be allowed to enter and exit the bus on the side of the road the door is facing. This means that students will no longer be crossing Route 116 in order to enter or exit the bus. While this may cause some minor adjustments and possibly some inconveniences it will improve the safety for everyone. As has been previously communicated, bus routes with drop off and pick up will be available Monday August 12th at the Back to School Open House and on skyward. Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping students safe on their route to and from school.
School is only one week away and we have some important information to share with you. Please read the attached media release from Farmington Central CUSD #265. Thank you.
SOCCER - HS students interested in participating in soccer for the 2019 season, practice will begin Mon, Aug. 12 from 3:45pm-5:30pm at Illini Bluffs HS. Any questions, you may contact Mr. Flater at jflater@dist265.com.
