FCHS would like to make you aware of information that was shared with our students to help encourage school safety and learning.
🪪NEW
Starting this year, FCHS will require all students, staff, and extended visitors to wear school ID’s throughout the day. These ID’s will be used to help with our free lunch count and to identify those who should be in the building. Students will be given some grace until they become acclimated to the new ID, after that grace period, there will be consequences for continued offenders.
📲Same Policy-Better Enforcement
FCHS has a current policy of no cell phone usage in the classrooms. Students have been allowed to carry and use phones during passing periods, lunch, and study hall. As a district and staff, we have recognized that many districts have banned phones within the confines of the school building. We at FCHS see this as a bit extreme, but recognize that we, as staff and administration, have become extremely lax with our enforcement of our own policy. FCHS feels that by strictly enforcing our current policy, we can decrease distraction and increase learning for our students. Students have been made fully aware of the consequences of phone usage during class periods. Parents/Guardians, if there is an emergency, please contact the main office immediately at 618-842-2649, and we will get your student immediately. If it is a non-emergency situation, please feel free to call or text your student between passing periods and at lunch. The bell schedule can be found in the student handbook.






School pictures will be taken on Thursday 8/14.

It has come to our attention that our transportation emails need some clarification. Transportation emails were sent out this morning through teacherease.
📞If you did not receive a transportation email and you scheduled your child to ride the bus please contact the school. The office is open until 4pm today. Please leave a voicemail if you don’t reach anyone and they will get back to you on Monday.
✅If you did receive an email, make sure to read the entire email. It has your child’s bussing schedule. You may have received a transportation email even if your child is not riding. This email states that they are not on a route.
🎓We apologize to our 2025 graduating seniors and families who received an email.

Notices have been sent out for students that are directly certified as free or reduced. Families do not complete the free-reduced application. Certification is based on enrollment in other state/federal programs and you do not have to complete the free-reduced application.
Notices have also been sent to students who qualified last year, but who were not able to be directly certified this year. We are asking these students to complete the free-reduced application when registration opens on Tuesday, July 22nd as this helps our school continue to qualify for schoolwide free lunches.
