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.
