This Week's Events

The start of the school year is quickly approaching. Make sure that you have marked your calendars for this week's events. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

All i3 students and families should plan to attend our i3 orientation on August 13th or 14th; that is this Tuesday or Wednesday from 6:00pm–8:00pm. The agenda will be the same each night, so please choose the night that is most convenient for you. We will be going over everything you need to know about i3, in order to have a successful first year. You will also have an opportunity to sign for and receive your scholar's MacBook.

Then on August 15th, which is this Thursday, FPC will be having their Freshmen Orientation. All i3 freshmen should plan to attend this event. They will be going over all the school wide important information and handing out 9th grade schedules. This event will be held in the FPC Auditorium at 5:30pm (last names A-L) and 6:30pm (last names M-Z). Be sure to visit the Dining Hall afterward for information on sports and to help yourself to a free root beer float. We also have a few openings left at i3, so if you have any friends that are interested in attending the academy, please have them stop by our table for more information.

Finally, this Friday, August 16th from 9:00am-11:00am our sophomores may pick up their schedules from the FPC main campus.

The i3 Academy is located on the far side of the FPC campus, right behind all of the sports fields. The easiest way to find us would be to turn on Bulldog Drive from 100. Then take a left on the street that runs behind our practice football field. This will be your last left before the town center. Once you pass through the gates you will see a group of portables on your left with a blue canopy in the middle of the group, this is the academy.

August Update


We hope you all are enjoying the last few weeks of your summer vacation.  The first day of school will be here before we know it.  We have included some important i3 info below, in order to keep you in the loop.   

In case you haven't heard the district has revised the high school uniform policy this summer.  All high school students, including i3 students, can wear any solid color polo or collared shirt.  Bottoms can be khaki, grey, white, navy blue, black, or denim. Fridays will be our school spirit day, so students can wear any FPC or i3 t-shirt.  This includes our logo shirts, team shirts, and club shirts.  For more details on the policy please visit:  http://fpcbulldogs.com/sites/default/files/dress_code_update_6-4-13.pdf

Our scholars will be eating lunch everyday at the academy and will not be returning to the main campus for this.  Our Food Services staff is currently working on some changes to the traditional high school menu in order to offer some additional, special items for our scholars.  The regular lunch will be available for $2.20, with al-a-cart options ranging from $.50-$4.50 and don't forget that breakfast is always free.  Our free and reduced lunch application can be found at: https://mealapps.flaglerschools.com/lfserver/EFORM  You might also want to check out https://paypams.com/ to set up an account that will allow you to make payments and view your scholar's meal account balance.

We hope to see everyone out at our i3 Orientation on August 13th or 14th at 6:00pm.  The agenda will be the same each night, so please choose the night that is most convenient for you.  During this orientation we will be covering all i3 Academy specific topics.  You will also need to attend in order to sign for and receive your scholar's MacBook Air. Please meet us in the i3 Dining Hall for this event. We will be sending directions as this date nears.

Then on August 15th at 5:30pm (last names A-L) or 6:30pm (last names M-Z), we hope to see our freshmen families out at the Flagler Auditorium for our FPC Freshmen Orientation.  This night will be filled with everything you need to know for a successful first year at the high school.  We do understand that this means two evenings spent at FPC for our freshmen, but it will be well worth it.

On August 16th our sophomores can pick up their schedules at the FPC main campus from 9:00-11:00am.  If you signed up for Honors English I or II, don't forget to do your summer reading.  More info can be found at: http://www.flaglerschools.com/fpchs/summer/index.htm.  And finally, those of you that like to shop early, below is a list of school supplies that your scholar will need for i3.
