A Note from Mrs. Phillips

Dear Hornet Families/Friends,


Our first few days of school have been a success! I applaud you on arrival and dismissal. We have had an excellent and safe start to our year. Just a reminder to call the office if your child has transportation changes. Dojo is a highly effective communication tool, but teachers don't always see the messages in time to adjust transportation. Thank you for calling 825-6261 any time your child is absent or needs different transportation.


Have you opted in to receive text/email/phone alerts from Fayette County Schools? Send a text to 67587 and reply Y to subscribe to School Messenger. This allows you to opt in to messages sent from FCSC and Fayette Central. You may also visit https://www.fayette.k12.in.us/ or download FCSC Connect and enable your notifications within the app. You will find the hyperlinked document below.


It's been a great start and I look forward to learning and growing with our FCE family. If you need anything, please send me a DOJO, email, or phone call. I will always return your call within 24 hours. Have a great weekend!
