Family Engagement Night is Back!

Get ready for the ultimate blast this November because it's National Family Engagement Month and we're gearing up for our second annual "Family Matters" extravaganza! Expect fantastic vendors, mind-blowing entertainment, and fabulous giveaways.

This year we have planned two nights of learning fun with over 25 sessions. There will also be opportunities for prizes and food along with resources for each family to take home. The event is free for FCS families and students at all grade levels (K-12). However, space is limited, and participants are encouraged to register on the Family Matters website.

Plus, watch “Let’s Talk Schools” to find more out about the many ways parents can partner with the district to help support their student's success. Watch here.
