Attendance Absentee notes can be emailed to Joy Hobbs at joy.hobbs@faithchristianacademy.net .  Please be aware that parents will not be notified if a note is not submitted. It is the responsibility of the parent or student to communicate with the teachers concerning absences and make up work.

Elementary Parents Please understand that at 8:05 ALL parents need to be out of the building. At that time the doors will be locked. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Entering Building after School Hours Parents picking up students after school from after care must come to the main office entrance and buzz in through the security system and identify their child and his or her grade. Parents then wait at the office window while we page the after care workers. Parents attending after school activities in the gymnasium must pick up students at the main office entrance first. The doors in the secondary wing hallway are locked at 3:30 and parents must circle the building to enter at the main office.

Drop Off Please note that families will not be charged for before-care for students entering the school after 7:45 a.m., however, they must report to the gymnasium until before-care dismissal. Parents who accompany their students into the school in the morning must remain in the entry area and not proceed into the elementary hallway until teachers and students are dismissed from before-care. All other students must report to the gym. This is the devotional time for our faculty and they are in prayer for our school and students. All teachers attend this devotional and should not be interrupted.

Pick Up If you have students in both elementary and middle/high school, please have your MS/HS students come to the elementary wing for pick-up.

Traffic Flow Be sure to follow the traffic flow pattern indicated on the map in order to keep dismissal running smoothly and for the safety of our students. Please keep your pick up number displayed until your child gets in your vehicle so we know where to direct the students. If your child needs to be strapped into a car seat or booster seat, please pull forward into an open space out of the traffic flow and strap in the seat. This will keep the traffic flowing. If you have a very young child, you may want to consider pulling in the lane next to the school so that your child does not have to cross in front of other vehicles.

Medication Medication cannot be administered to students, nor can students use inhalers, unless a “Physician Statement of Need” is completed by your doctor. This includes Tylenol, Advil, and all other over-the-counter medications. Also, prescribed medication must be in its original container and have the Physician Statement of Need form completed (a prescription container is not sufficient). Please note that this is a state regulation that we must follow without exception.

Physical Education Uniforms for Middle School & High School Students in 6th – 12th grade who have physical education must have a 'Faith Christian Academy' t-shirt for gym class. It can be purchased from our “Falcon Spirit Shop”. Click here to order.
