ONLINE RE-ENROLLMENT FOR 2013-2014

Re-enrollment dates are January 29 - February 8, 2013. We are excited to introduce online re-enrollment for the 2013-2014 school year. In January you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete the process. Re-enrolling between January 29 and February 8 will allow the $250 registration fee to be waived. The $500 tuition deposit is due when you re-enroll. Already a record number of applications have been received for next year, so please re-enroll in a timely manner to secure your student's place for next year. We value our families and look forward to partnering with you next year.

REMINDER: January 2013 FACTS tuition payments will be reduced by 2012-13 tuition deposits paid last year during re-enrollment/enrollment. Please contact Kaye Stafford, kaye.stafford@fcspaladins.org or 770-641-6818, in the FCS business office, with any questions.

FELLOWSHIP FUND

Thank you to all who gave to the Fellowship Fund in 2012. We are  getting closer to our goal having collected $270,000.00 as of December 31, 2012, with 75% parent participation. Our goal is to achieve 100% parent participation and collect $600,000. 

Once participation reaches 81%, we have the opportunity to earn an additional $1000 for each percent in participation up to 100% through a gift match. You can still pledge or give by simply clicking on-line giving or go to the FCS website. 

Fellowship Fund gifts immediately impact every FCS student's educational experience because the funds are collected and spent in the area of focus within this school year. This year's Fund is focusing on six areas: technology tools for teachers, Fine Arts, spiritual development, campus security equipment, strategic plan, and auxiliary practice field improvements.

REMEMBER: Every gift - regardless of its size - is important to your child's FCS experience.
