Report Cards - January 5th
Remember! Report cards will be coming home today for Kindergarten through 6th grades. Parents of 7th-12th graders, don't panic when they don't bring a paper copy home. You will receive a link that you can click and click and click until your heart is content.
(Kindergarten through 6th grade parents, seeing as how we still have a couple quarters to go, we need you to send those yellow envelopes back in so we can recycle them. We thank you in advance.)
Homecoming, January 7th at 10 am
You're invited to join us this Saturday, January 7th to kick off our Homecoming Festivities. Starting at 10 am, you will get to see our basketball players in action, get a chance to see the Homecoming Queen of 2023 crowned, and just have a great time here at FRCS. Doors open at 9:30, we look forward to seeing you there.
Order Your Gold Rush Shirt Now!
Like the University of Michigan is to Ohio State, every school has a rivalry, and every fan has their own way of showing their support. Here's your chance to show South Haven that FRCS has the best families in middle Tennessee.
Order your Gold Rush shirt now (only $15) so you will have it in time to wear to the Gold Rush game. Wouldn't it be awesome to see our bleachers packed from side to side on January 24th all in matching black and gold shirts? Hurry, orders must be turned in January 10th. Not a bad way to get inside the opponents head. Sounds like a win to me.
They have toiled and tried their hardest. There was sweat and a few tears here and there. But they've made it 100 days at school. This is such a momentous occasion that we think we should throw a parade. The cutest parade in Middle Tennessee if we're going to be honest. Be sure to be here January 27th before 9 am if you want a good spot. Be here at exactly 9 if you want the 'we're super squished together spot', and get here at 9:15 if you want to miss it.
Re-enrollment Has Begun
In case you missed it, it's that very special time of year. When you get to choose whether you're going to re-enroll your student in our school. Nope. You are not required to keep them here. Completely your decision. But let it be known that if you do not pay your registration fee and you only turn in your re-enrollment form, you stand to lose your spot.
We do not want that to happen. Trust me. I don't like to see your faces when I have to tell you that there's no room in such and such class. (I really do not think I could have been the inn keeper that told Joseph and Mary that there was no room. Nope. Call me a coward if you like. I don't care.)
Filling out those green forms lets us know that you're interested in keeping your student here, but that will not keep your spot. Please please PLEASE get that form turned in with the registration fee. (Cash or check)
- Preschool enrollment opens January 1st
- Current school families enrollment begins February 1st
- Current school families with non-attending siblings enrollment opens February 15th
- Open Enrollment begins March 1st
There will be no school January 16th due to Parent Teacher Conferences.
That means preschool through 12th graders will be staying home with you because we will not be teaching that day. We will be meeting with parents to discuss futures, behavior, and game plans and things like that. This also means there will be no late stay.
You have been warned.
Parent Teacher Conference, January 16
Why do we do this? Is it our primary goal to make children feel nervous knowing that their parents and teachers are discussing them? Why would any self-respecting school allow such things to happen?! I mean, really!
I remember how I felt when my parents left to go talk to my teachers about me. I was terrified. I mean, if you've talked to me, you should know that I didn't just get this sass. I was born with it. (As you can see, I survived my school-age years, so it couldn't have been that bad. There are a couple of people on staff that I do wonder about though, if we're being honest. You know who you are.)
Nerves aside, it's our goal as a school to give your student the best year possible. And sometimes, that means parents and teachers have to get together to work out a strategy. Or maybe your particular teacher wants to brag on you so much that your parents cannot wait to tell you how awesome you are. Let's assume that's it.
Anyway, parents, please reach out to your child's teacher and set up a time on Monday, January 16th for your particular chat session. We're only in the 3rd quarter. Now's not the time to fizzle out.
Christmas Project Results
Thank you so much for making this past Christmas project the best one yet - you all raised a whopping $20,012.84 for a new cabin for Triple S Christian Camp! Thank you from the bottom of our heart for participating and giving toward this worthy cause. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Y'all are the best!
Ordering Lunches
Some of you have mentioned that you're having issues ordering lunches. If you would try ordering on a desktop, that may resolve the issue. If you order this way and are still having problems, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address the situation. Thanks!
