Parent Association

The Parent Association (PA) provides support to FCS and the FCS community. We cultivate community-building and foster effective communications by providing a forum for sharing information on issues that affect our children. The PA sponsors and staffs activities and fundraisers to enrich our community, to enable school and family social interaction, and to further the school's ability to meet its goals in educating our children.
