GEORGIA GOAL
As a GOAL Participating School, FCS is eligible to promote the GOAL program to donors for designating their contributions to GOAL for use to provide scholarships at our school. This enables us to increase the amount of financial aid for which FCS students and families are eligible. This can help to increase enrollment, tuition income and opportunities for deserving students and their families. Please check the information on the FCS website to designate your state taxes to Georgia Goal and FCS. It may soon be possible for S Corporations, LLCs and Partnerships to contribute up to $10,000 to Georgia Goal. Information about this new opportunity to support FCS will be posted soon.
FELLOWSHIP FUND UPDATE
Parent Participation = 86%
Almost to our goal of 90% PP!
Cash Collected = $429,174
(Goal: $600,000)
Below is a recap of our parent participation by class and grade. Highlighted classes reached 100% this week. Congratulations Mrs. Wideman's 3rd grade class and Mrs. Harrison's 4th grade class. Thank you to every family represented in these classes.

FC$ FINANCIAL POLICY

A hold will also be placed on RenWeb access until any outstanding balance is paid. This includes book fees, athletic participation fees, after school care tuition and any other school fee.
