Welcome to FCMS
Effective January 25, 2021
All students will remain on the Distance Learning Schedule until
January 22nd. The Wythe County School Board voted to return to in-person instruction, 5 days a week, with a 2:00 pm dismissal every day beginning
Monday, January 25. Families who choose to stay
100% Virtual will still have this option.
If you plan to stay Virtual you need to contact FCMS at 276-637-4400.
All safety mitigation strategies for in-person learning will remain in effect.
WCPS will follow the Governor’s Executive Order 72 which maintains the requirement that individuals must wear masks while indoors at public and private school settings unless they qualify for a health or safety exemption. Masks will also be worn outdoors when 6 ft. distancing cannot be maintained. WCPS will continue to follow any new guidance or executive orders issued and update our plans accordingly.
Wythe County Public Schools would like to thank ALL of our students, staff, and the school community for their cooperation and support! Together, we can continue to provide everyone with a safe, healthy, positive, and productive learning environment.
Sports will be updated ASAP- please stay tune.
Effective December 7th, 2020
FCMS will be 100% Virtual
Students will follow their schedule as we have been doing since returning to school but now everyone will be on-line.
100% Distance Learning Plan
Students need to log in and participate during their teacher's live meets to be counted present.
Students need to complete and turn in all assignments as requested by their teachers.
WCPS Inclement Weather Information
As winter weather approaches, WCPS will continue to monitor safety conditions
for our students and staff. At times, we will have traditional “snow days”. We feel it is important not to take the magic of a “snow day”
away so our children have something time-honored to remain in their lives. But there maybe times, especially when we can predict imminent weather coming, where we will have to utilize digital learning. This option may be used
when we have missed an excessive amount of days and in-person
learning is not feasible due to inclement weather.
