We hope you enjoyed Winter Break, part two. The school is looking beautiful, but it is truly good, true, and beautiful when filled with your scholars. We are hopeful that Old Man Winter will allow us to return to the important work we do here at FCCS. Glad to have the scholars today, albeit for a shortened day. Have a wonderful weekend. |

February 2026 is Advocacy Month |
February is Maryland Charter Advocacy Month, and FCCS will once again participate in advocacy efforts in Annapolis. This year, we intend to broaden our engagement by including staff members, and we are also exploring opportunities for our scholars to participate in age-appropriate ways that allow them to learn about civic processes and the role of public education in state policy.
We also invite parents and staff to join us in this important work. Families and staff are encouraged to ask questions, learn about the legislative issues impacting charter schools, and participate when possible. Our goal is to strengthen our collective voice as a charter school community and ensure our students and staff are represented with clarity, professionalism, and unity. Comments and questions are welcome via email bot@frederickclassicalcharterschool.org
More information will be shared as schedules and logistics are finalized. |
