School Hot Lunches
We partner with the Williams Bay School District to offer hot lunches as an option for our students. Hot lunches will begin in the second week of school, starting on September 9th. Please send a sack lunch with your child during the first week of school. As soon as we receive the September menu, we will upload it to the resource documents in the FACTS Parent Portal.
Drop-off & Pick-Up Traffic Flow
As we begin a new year, it’s important to review the parking lot traffic flow to ensure the safety and efficiency of our school community. Below you will find a graphic for your reference. FCS has three lanes as you enter the parking lot: lane #1 is designated for entering the lot, while lanes #2 and #3 are for exiting. Specifically, lane #2 is for vehicles turning left upon exiting, and lane #3 is for those turning right. Please familiarize yourself with this layout to help maintain a smooth traffic flow during drop-off and pick-up times.
As you pull into FCS in Lane #1, follow the yellow arrows. The inside lane, labeled #4 with white arrows, is for dropping off and picking up students. We will have staff available to open doors and help students out of the cars safely. Once your student(s) are dropped off or picked up, continue in the inside lane, #4, until the very end of the parking lot, then turn left.
If you are coming into FCS to park, use the yellow arrows in the left lane and find a parking spot. We have two crosswalks for parents, staff, and students to use safely while crossing the parking lot.
Parent’s Guide to School Picture Day: What to Expect
We chose Kimberly Linden Photography to use for our school photos. They do it differently…they shoot outside! Shooting outside provides a natural look and typically puts the kids at ease, so they can capture real smiles. Their goal is to produce authentic portraits and give you a professional photography feel and product. Living in the Midwest means weather can be a challenge, sometimes we need to move photo day inside. If we make the decision to move inside, their plan for the fall is to use a neutral grey backdrop. All skin tones and clothing colors appear with great detail and contrast.
Picture Day is Tuesday, September 10th. Please check your email for links to your proofs and instructions on how to order. See the flyer for more information.

- Pick-up line: Please stay in your car, with your family placard hanging from your mirror, in the lane closest to the curb. Teachers and our student safety patrol will help open doors and get students into the car. Follow the lanes and go around the perimeter of the parking lot to exit. If you need to assist your student in buckling up; in order to keep the pick-up line moving; please continue down to the end of the parking lot and pull into a parking space to help keep the car line moving.

- When you come to visit or volunteer, you will need to sign in at the office before heading to the classroom.
