Attention Car Rider parents. Many families experienced delays this week in the car line. The cold, and sometimes snowy weather, has impacted the time it takes to receive all students by 9:40 a.m. Please plan to arrive by 9:35 a.m. in case of delays. To help make it possible for all students to begin learning on time:

  • Pull as far forward as you can when you arrive. The extra seconds your child has to walk to the door can save our line many minutes.

  • Park in the lot if you plan to stop and help your student out of the car. When you stop, you delay other families and their student. Staff has been instructed not to open doors for students.

  • The doors will close at 9:40 a.m. If it is near that time, consider coming to the front to sign in instead of the back. After 9:40 you must come to the front to sign in.

  • We use an automatic bell schedule at FCES. We close all doors (including classroom doors) at the 9:40 a.m. bell for the start of instruction. Our regular arrival staff will use hand signals so that you know how many minutes you have before the door will close.

    • When your child arrives between 9:10 and 9:30, they do not have to miss a single minute.

    • It takes a few minutes to get from the doors to any of the classrooms. Arriving right at 9:40 may create frustration for students who have to knock and come in after the rest of the class has already begun their day.

Thank you for your support and commitment to a great start to every day for every family.
