Happy New Year Warrior Parents & Guardians!

We have started 2021, the second half of the 2020-2021 school year, with a very quick turn-around. On January 4 we entered the campus with kids and on campus learning lasted one day!

We’re back again in February, with our campus open after a three-week hiatus. Warriors have definitely learned to be resilient. Our concerns now are those students we don’t know where they are––they are not logging in or appearing on campus. This is apparently a nationwide concern.

New Orleans Public Schools have initiated the following efforts to get these students back to school. This information will be coming from our counseling department, per the directive of the District Superintendent Dr. Henderson Lewis, Jr.

Steps to Locate Truant Students

1. A letter was sent home to parents from our school’s counseling department (Mrs. M. Aziz).

2. Referral to Orleans Parish Schools, office of Student

Support and Attendance will be made by FCWCS regarding those families receiving the letters.

3. If no changes are made by the family (sending students to school or taking advantage of distance learning), parents and students will be referred to Orleans Parish Juvenile Courts.

Thanking you in advance for getting your child back on track.
