Students will be charged a $27 fee for the entire school year. This fee will enable FLCS to provide a variety of communication, information, and safety tools to our parents and students (Synergy, GoGuardian, StopIT, Microsoft Campus, paper, and postage).

Please pay in full using one of these two methods:

CASH - Send cash to the office (exact money only)-in an envelope marked with the student's name/grade.
