Neithercut Families: You are invited to the upcoming FCS Future-Focused Family Forum on April 15th from 4 pm - 5 pm. During this forum, we will share important details about your child’s school placement for the upcoming year and discuss key topics such as transportation, changes to services, and our efforts to minimize disruptions to your child’s educational experience. Our goal is to maintain the high level of support and services your child is accustomed to, including transportation, academic assistance, special education services, and extracurricular activities—all of which will continue as before. Your feedback and participation are crucial to ensuring a smooth transition, and we look forward to addressing your questions and concerns during the forum. Together, we can provide the best opportunities for success as we move forward with our commitment to a brighter future for Flint Community Schools.

As we celebrate National Poetry Month, we honor poetry's timeless artistry and profound impact on our lives and culture. With its power to inspire, heal, and provoke thought, poetry serves as a beacon of expression, illuminating the human experience in all its complexity and beauty. Throughout the ages, poets have woven words into tapestries of emotion, inviting us to explore our souls' depths and connect on a deeper level. This month, let us embrace the richness of poetic language, whether through reading cherished classics or discovering new voices. Let us recognize the poets who have shaped our world and continue to do so and the diverse communities from which their voices emerge. Let us celebrate poetry's ability to transcend boundaries and unite us in shared understanding and empathy. National Poetry Month reminds us of the power of words to uplift, inspire change, and foster connection. Let us cherish poetry's enduring legacy and capacity to touch hearts and minds across generations.
