News from our School Counselors

6th Grade
Happy March, everyone! The end of the school year is approaching sooner than we think. I personally am excited for warmer weather. The end of marking period 3 will be Thursday March 16. Please have your scholar reach out to their teachers for extra support should they need it. Our 6th grade scholars will soon be 7th grade scholars. If your scholar has not had the opportunity to choose their electives for 7th grade, please have your scholar reach out to me, and I will make sure they select their electives. As always, if you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out.

7th grade
Our school year continues to move along and March will be a busy month here for seventh grade scholars at FCMS.  Please be looking out for the field trip form for the bowling trip to Northside Lanes occurring on Wednesday, March 15. The forms must be returned with the $10.00 payment prior to Monday, March 13.  Also, the end of marking period 3 will be Thursday, March 16. Report cards will be issued on Wednesday, March 29. If you have any concerns regarding your child’s progress, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.

8th Grade
And just like that - it’s MARCH! Time is just flying this school year!

Many parents and guardians did not receive the verification of their scholar’s high school classes that was supposed to be sent through an email from James Wood High School.  If you did not receive any verification from JWHS for next year’s 9th grade classes - please reach out to Ms. Jenny Carson, the new 9th grade school counselor. Her email address is: carsonj@fcpsk12.net or call 540-667-5226.

The 8th grade Writing SOL will be taking place on Tuesday, March 7 and Thursday, March 9. Please make sure your scholar is in attendance and ready to do their best!  

The end of the 3rd 9 weeks is approaching on March 16. Please contact us if you need to check on your scholar’s progress or have any concerns!  If you have any questions - please reach out to me at any time!
