May 10th - Last day FCHS can accept check payments
May 10th is the last day the school can accept checks.
If your child has any outstanding dues (senior dues, laptop obligations, etc.) and you wish to pay by check, May 10th is the last date we can accept this method of payment.
Morning Attendance Calls
The morning attendance telephone calls, texts and e-mails for reporting student absences will not occur for middle and high schools during AP, IB and SOL testing from Monday, April 29, 2019 through Friday, June 7, 2019. Students involved in testing are often in designated testing sites within the school during the normal attendance-taking time, so morning attendance notifications will be suspended. The evening attendance notifications will remain in place.

SOL Season - Personal Electronic Devices are Prohibited
As SOL season is approaching, we want to remind families that electronic personal devices of any kind (phones, watches, etc.) are prohibited inside the SOL testing environment. Please be aware that any personal devices carried into the testing environment will be subject to the school’s established procedures for addressing this as a test security concern. In past instances, a student’s access to a personal device in the testing environment has been identified as attempted cheating, please help us ensure this doesn't happen! Let’s work together to create a positive testing environment for everyone.
Partners for Safe Teen Driving
The state of Virginia requires all 10th grade students and their parent/guardian to attend a 90-minute traffic safety program as part of the classroom driver education instruction. This condition must be met before a student will receive a Classroom Driver Education Certificate of Completion (DEC-1 card).
The dates for this year's presentations are:
All programs will begin PROMPTLY at 7:00 pm. There will be no admittance once the program has begun. You are strongly encouraged to mark your calendar now and plan to attend.
