Prayer is our first response, not our last. One of the greatest gifts we can give our children, teachers, and school community is to faithfully lift them up in prayer. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."

We invite all FCS parents (and grandparents) to join us as we pray for our students, families, faculty, and the school year ahead. Whether you're a longtime prayer warrior or simply looking for a place to grow in your faith, you are welcome.

Patriots Place is Florida Christian School's after school care program for middle school students. To ensure the safety of every student, all middle school students must be under adult supervision at all times.

Students who have not been picked up by 3:30 p.m. are required to self report to Patriots Place in Room M-105. Patriots Place is available every full day of school until 6:00 p.m.

Middle School Complimentary Hour
Middle school provides the first hour of Patriots Place (3:30 to 4:30 p.m.) at no cost to families. Students who remain in Patriots Place after 4:30 p.m. will be charged according to the established fee schedule.

Program Highlights

• The first hour is designated as a supervised study hall where students are encouraged to complete their homework.
• Once homework is completed, students may socialize and participate in recreational activities.
• A light snack is provided each afternoon.

Student Athletes
Students participating in athletics must also follow this supervision policy. Student athletes must remain under the direct supervision of their coach at all times. At the conclusion of practice, students must be picked up promptly by an approved adult or report to Patriots Place if they are not immediately picked up. Please contact your child's coach for practice schedules and dismissal times.

Flu Season Has Arrived, Patriots! How do most people know flu season is here? The leaves change colors, temperatures drop, and cozy sweaters come out of storage.

How do we know flu season is here in Miami? Honestly, we're still waiting for the seasons to change! 😄 While much of the country is enjoying a crisp fall breeze, we're enjoying the same sunshine, palm trees, and warm weather we've had all year.

Even though our weather doesn't give us many clues, flu season is officially upon us. This is a great time to remind our students and families about healthy habits that help keep our school community strong. Frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and eating nutritious foods are all simple ways to help prevent the spread of illness.

If your child develops a fever, please keep them home and allow them time to recover. Students should remain at home until they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. This helps protect classmates, teachers, and staff and ensures your child is ready to return to learning.

As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of the bodies God has entrusted to us and to care for one another through our actions. One way we can show Christ's love is by taking steps to keep ourselves and our community healthy.

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?" 1 Corinthians 6:19

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students healthy, happy, and ready to learn. May God bless our school community with good health, joy, and His loving protection throughout this flu season.

October Mental Health Moment: The Gift of Listening

World Mental Health Day is Saturday, October 10. This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” reminds us how meaningful it can be to listen to someone who is experiencing, or has experienced, mental health challenges.

When someone shares their story, we do not need to have the perfect answer. Listening without judgment, taking their feelings seriously, and asking how we can support them can help them feel seen and less alone. James 1:19 reminds us to be “quick to listen.” We can reflect God’s love through the compassion and attention we give one another.

If you have concerns about your child’s mental health and would like to refer them to our Mental Health Department, please complete the FCS Student Mental Health Referral Form. We are here to listen and partner with your family.

Stay tuned for our very own FCS Mental Health Day in Q2!

If you have any questions regarding meal plans, lunch accounts, or payments, please contact Miami Prime Catering directly at info@miamiprimecatering.com or 305-907-7005.
