Dear FCS Community,
I want to start by thanking everyone for the prayers and support for FCS Administration and the FCS Board as we met concerning the 2020/20201 school year.
September 8 First Day of School
FCS Board and Administration reviewed our pathways to open for in-person instruction:
-
Fresno County is still on the COVID-19 watch list
-
The Fresno County Department of Public Health is not reviewing ANY school waivers
-
And there has been no significant movement with any legal efforts to open schools
Bearing those points in mind, the Fresno Christian Board of Directors has decided to open the 2020-2021 school year using the FCS Alternative Learning Model that was shared with our community last week. We will continue to be ready to move to in-person instruction. In fact, when we are released to provide in-person instruction, FCS will be prepared to transition in 48 hours! Our Alternative Learning Model in conjunction with our on-campus clubs/activities is the best model available to our community. We will continue to develop ways to improve both the educational and community needs of our students.
Have I told you that we have missed your students? It has been wonderful to see them on our campus for MAP testing, Picture Day, and Sports Camps!
As we continue preparing for the start of the school year, please know that we are all ready to have your students in our classrooms when that time comes. Until then, we will continue with our sports camps, clubs, and student/family orientations.
FCS/Peoples Church Student Support Program
Knowing that FCS not having in-person instruction presents complications to the families in our community, Peoples Church and FCS will be starting a Student Support Program beginning September 8th. This program will provide a safe and secure place for students to engage in their Alternative Learning Model that will provide:
-
Supervision
-
A safe environment with reliable internet access
All students will need to :
-
Bring their own device
-
Bring all of their own school supplies
-
Know their particular school schedule
-
Bring activities that they can do in between class sessions (reading book, etc.)
This program is provided free of charge to our community. There will be limited space available and priority will be provided to essential workers, first responders and families in need. If you are interested in more information, click below for the flyer which includes a link to sign up.
