Good evening parents/guardians,
We will have our annual intruder drill at FIS on the morning of Thursday, September 11th at 9:45am. The purpose of this drill is to prepare our students how to respond in the case of an actual emergency where the safety of our school environment is being threatened. This drill will be conducted with local authorities to ensure that our protocols are going above and beyond expectations.
If you do not want your child to participate in the drill, you need to request an opt-out form from the office then sign/return it to the school by Thursday morning.
We appreciate your continued support in our efforts to keep all children safe in our care!

Every year our district asks each family to acknowledge and sign the FCUSD #168 Student-Parent Handbook. In year's past, this acknowledgement has been in paper form. This year, we have added that acknowledgement on TeacherEase for your convenience so that you can sign and return it electronically. To do this, simply log in to TeacherEase, then click the banner at the top with the direct link to the acknowledgement page. You will need to acknowledge and sign with your student's name, acknowledge and sign with your name, and then submit. Our handbook can be found on the FIS website under the 2025-2026 Student Handbook tab.
