Reminders from the Office

Dismissal Changes: If you need to make an end of day change, please notify your child's teacher as soon as possible. Changes through the office will need to be received no later than 2:30 pm. This is for the safety of all students. Thank you for understanding.

Early Dismissal: Anyone picking up a student from the office will need to bring a photo ID.

Appointments: If your student has to miss school for an appointment, please provide a Dr.'s note to the office as soon as possible so we can update their attendance records. Your student can bring the note to school, or you can email it to mthompson@flcs.k12.in.us.
Car Drop Off/Pick Up Procedure

New Procedure for Dropping Off Items to Office

We understand that busy schedules and the rush of mornings can sometimes lead to students forgetting essential items at home. To ensure a smooth process for delivering these forgotten items, we have established a new procedure for dropping off items at the school office.  

Here is how to proceed:
  1.  When arriving at the school, please ring the bell and through the intercom, state the reason for your visit (ex: dropping off lunch box for student).
  2. Enter the lobby area, and leave the item on the designated table. Please use the sticky note and pen to clearly label the item with your student’s name.
  3. Please email your child's teacher to let them know there is an item to be picked up in the office.

While we understand the need to drop off forgotten items on occasion, we encourage students to develop responsibility and be prepared for their school day as much as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and productive learning environment for all our students. Please feel free to contact the front office if you have any questions.
