The Falcon Fanatic Booster Club would like to thank everyone who supported the Spring mulch sale. It was a huge success! Thank you to those who purchased mulch, as well as the many volunteers who provided trucks, trailers, and muscle to organize and deliver over 1,800 bags of mulch. As always, all funds raised by the Booster Club are used to support Falcon athletic programs.

We make every effort to get the students outside for fresh air. If the Real Feel temperature is above 32 degrees, we keep the students outside for about 30 minutes. When the Real Feel temperature is right around 30 degrees, we take the students outside for at least 15 minutes. If the Real Feel temperature is below 30 degrees, we usually keep the students inside for play. With this in mind, please make sure your child wears a heavy, warm winter coat to school. A hat, gloves, and scarf are also beneficial.

In an effort to clear up the germs and viruses, we are asking that if your child experiences any of the following symptoms to please keep them home for the day. Symptoms include: Runny nose with yellow/green discharge, nausea/vomiting, sore throat, chills or fever, diarrhea or any other conditions that might be contagious. A student should be fever free for 24 hours (without medication) before returning back to school.

School Emergency Closing Announcements
|
In case of inclement weather, please be advised that we do not always follow the Berkeley County Public Schools emergency closing schedule! Faith Christian Academy will always have its own announcement regarding school closings and delays. We will place announcements in the following media:
- School website: www.faithchristianacademy.net (“Quick Notes” along right side of home page)
- Radio stations: WEPM (1340 AM) and 97.5 "The Hit Music Channel"
- Television: NBC News 25
- A text message will be sent through the Renweb data base – all parents will receive an text alert
- Phone Message: Call the school and enter extension 223 for weather related messages
Every attempt will be made to make a call by 6:00 a.m. on the morning of a cancellation or delay. If a two-hour delay is called then parents need to check back and see if a second announcement is made. Again, every attempt will be made to make a call as quickly as possible. A two-hour delay will result in before care opening at 9:00 a.m. On days where weather may prompt an early dismissal, please do not call the school office. Check your texts frequently when inclement weather occurs or listen for the radio announcement. The school phone lines are needed for emergency purposes.
Any time the forecast is for inclement weather our primary goal is to make the very best decision for the safety of our students. We realize that our students come from a wide geographic area and that road conditions often vary greatly across the region. When inclement weather occurs, parents must use their best judgment in determining whether or not to bring children to school or pick them up early. When parents choose to keep their children home due to the weather, those absences will be excused with a note indicating the reason for the absence or tardy.
