If your child plays a sport, you should take a look at the
athletic web-site and pick out a 1st and 2nd choice of dates
where you could work the concession stand. E-mail the dates
to Coach Huisman at huismang@flcs.org 2) If you would like
to take a larger role in the operation of the booster club,

THE CELL PHONE DRIVE -UP AND
RUNNING!
Fort Lauderdale Christian School is having a cell phone
drive to raise funds for the school and we are asking for
your help. Unlike other fund raising projects, there are no
products to buy and distribute. All we are asking is that
you donate old cell phones that you have at home. Also, if
you know of any businesses that provide cell phones to
employees, please ask if there are unwanted cell phones they
would like to donate. We don't even need the chargers or
accessories. There is no cost to our school to participate
in this program, so 100% of the proceeds will benefit Fort
Lauderdale Christian School. We have received many phones
from our school family and are preparing to send in our
first batch. So, keep up the good work and remember to tell
your friends, family, and neighbors about our cell phone
drive. All we need is the cell phone and battery. Donation
drop off box is located in front office.

STUDENT
PICK-UP PROCEDURE FOR ELEMENTARY
To speed up the flow of traffic and ensure the safe
dismissal of the students, please familiarize yourself with
these procedures. If you have a student in Pre-K thru 5th
grade, you have been given 2 color name place cards. These
are to be displayed in the windshield of your car: either on
the dash or on the visor of the passenger's side of your
vehicle. Be aware that the other lane closest to the
building is a pick-up lane and the other lane is for thru
traffic only. There is NO parking in the pick-up area
between 7:00 -8:30 a.m. and 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
Remember, if someone different is picking up your child,
his or her teacher needs to have a note from you with the
name of that person picking up your child. The person who
comes to pick up your child MUST present the teacher with a
photo identification before your child will be released.
PLEASE
HELP US BY DOING YOUR PART:
- Pull as far forward in the pick-up lane as possible.
Please do not stop by the bench where your child is
sitting.
- The teachers will help the children into the cars.
Encourage your child to wait for teacher assistance.
Please stay in your car during the pick-up
procedure.
- If your child is not yet at the pick-up area, pull
around and get back in the pick-up lane.
- Never ask your child to get in the vehicle when you
are in the thru-traffic only lane.
- Always use the crosswalk when walking up to pick up
your child.
- Please model patience and courtesy to the children at
this time!
