Attendance Policy:
Regular school attendance is essential for success in the classroom and helps to develop patterns of attendance that carry on into the workplace. Any absence, unexcused, excused, or exempted, can affect the student’s academic performance due to lost instructional time. Indiana’s Compulsory Attendance Law IC 20-33-2 requires students to attend school each year for the number of days the school is in session. IC 20-33-2-27 and 28, specify it is the parent’s responsibility and duty to ensure that their child attends school.
Review the student handbook for detailed guidance on the FCCSC Attendance Policy.

Resources for Parents: Start a Conversation. Schools Can't do it Alone
Social Networking
As children, teenagers, and young adults become more engaged with the technology of “Social Networking,” we want to encourage parents/guardians to view a new, informative safety website called, Facebook Safety Center. Please take some time with your child to browse this website and discuss together its content. It is very critical that parents/guardians are aware of what their children are viewing, reading, and sending on these Social Networking sites. This is a great teachable moment/opportunity to assist your child with both the benefits and concerns of social networking.
