Verify with your administrator which CPS keys to return. Do not share, transfer, throw away, or mail keys.


Submit Brightly Key and Lock work orders to:

  • Request new keys
  • Pick up returning keys
  • Report lost keys


Questions about locks, keys, and doors? Contact our FCS Key Shop locksmiths: Blake Bennington and Justin Neal.

End-of-Year Cleaning for That Back-to-School Feeling End-of-Year Cleaning for That Back-to-School Feeling

zoom_out_map

There is a special feeling entering school the first day after summer vacation when greeted with the classic sight and smell of shiny waxed floors and fresh paint.

Summer's empty buildings allows our custodians and other FCS teams time for our more disruptive projects.


Before leaving for your well-earned respite, prep your area using the custodial end-of-year cleaning check list.


Thank you for working together so we can share those classic back-to-school memories with our students to come.

Cardboard Smorgasbord

Effective infestation prevention is removing pest's food sources, such as corrugated fiberboard that is made with starch based glue. Use well-sealed plastic bins or remove from the building over breaks.

Custodians Clean Only District Rugs & Fabrics

Remove personal collections and wash curtains, cushions, throws, and softies. Remove items that are permanently stained, deteriorating, and that you are unable to clean.

We may wish to find time in a bottle …

… but no one wishes to return after summer to find last year's lost & found box still full. Have teachers and students take a last look, have a Give-Away-Day, donate, or throw it away.

Pomp and Circumstance Come Together Better with FSDirect! Pomp and Circumstance Come Together Better with FSDirect!

Submit an FSDirect work order to ensure building access, temperature control, lighting, custodial services, and equipment set up for all of your end of year events and summer events.


Over the summer, buildings not being used will run on unoccupied schedules, and may be unavailable. Continue to schedule in FSDirect EARLY to ensure your event has necessary building access.


If canceled, update your event in FSDirect to conserve district resources.
