Faith Footnotes: Sept. 19-23, 2022

September 19-23, 2022

The first quarter is coming to an end and soon you will be receiving your child's report card. Parent Teacher Conferences may be scheduled at the parents' request. In some cases, a teacher may reach out to you directly to schedule a time to meet with you. If a conference is not arranged, you will receive an email with detailed comments from your child's advisor or elementary teacher. Thursday, October 13 will be an early dismissal day to give time for conferences after school. To schedule a conference, follow this link to sign up for a slot on Thursday, October 13 or Friday, October 14.

Did you see the FCS Spirit Sign at drop off this morning? We are making this sign available for families to rent for the day to display a special message for the students to see during drop off and pick up. For more information or to request to rent the sign, view the Spirit Sign Rental form.

Make sure to bring a refillable water bottle to school every day! We will be charging students who need a water bottle from the office. Thank you for your help in making sure students are prepared for the school day in this way.

School picture day is Friday, September 23. Students must be dressed in uniform. They may wear chapel dress or regular uniforms. No theme T-shirts please.

We look forward to gathering for a special time of prayer on Wednesday, September 28th. We will meet in the lunch area for our time of prayer to begin at 8:00. In an effort to avoid distractions, please be sure to arrive before 8am. Elementary students will need to be accompanied by their parents. Elementary families who plan to attend should park on the north side of campus and head to the lunch tables.

Friday, September 30th is Twin Day. Students may be out of uniform, but all clothing needs to abide by personal appearance standards. Get a friend or two or a group together and show your school spirit by dressing alike!

The next gift card order will be placed tomorrow, Tuesday, Sep 20th. Orders can be placed online at RaiseRight.com using enrollment code 48A9697251L6. We also have a small inventory of gift cards available for sale in the school office. Using the RaiseRight gift card program enables families to earn $ toward their tuition and earns money for our school! For more information, contact the school office or Patty Buckingham at 480-244-9275.

7th-12th grade students are invited to attend the 2022 Fall Formal taking place on Friday, October 28th.

The cost to attend is $70 which includes dinner, a show, and dessert. We will have a sign-up sheet in the office on Monday for at least a deposit of $35. The deposit will be needed to reserve their spot by the 30th of September. The full amount will need to be paid by October 14th.

Students will need to be at the school by 4:20. We will be eating at the Brio Italian Grille at San Tan Mall then seeing Sister Act at the Hale Theatre. After the play we will be going to Denny's on Recker and the 202 (5854 E. Longbow Pkwy) for cheesecake. Students will be picked up from Denny's at 11pm.

Does your junior high or high school student need some extra help? Do they need some time to make-up tests or get in some extra time with a teacher? We have the solution for you! After School Tutoring begins after Fall Break. Each Wednesday from 3:30-4:30, students are welcome to stay after school to work on homework and get extra help from one of our amazing teachers. Contact Mrs. Smith with any questions.

Please note that transportation will not be provided to the fall sporting events. Players need to arrive to the field/court 30 minutes prior to game time. Jr. High and High School students can be picked up at 2:35 (M-Th) on game days or remain on campus in a study hall until 3:20.
