Reminder for Families Affected by the Flood
For families whose students have been impacted by the recent flooding, we want to make sure your child has the support they need as we prepare to return to school on Wednesday.
If you have not already done so, please complete the below survey as soon as possible. The information you provide will help us identify transportation needs and other ways we can support your child and family.
Google Form: https://forms.gle/37A2FJCgWymTves68
We know many of you are still navigating incredibly difficult circumstances, and we do not want school to add to that burden. Our goal is to understand what you need so we can help make your child’s return to school as smooth as possible.
Thank you for helping us take care of our students and families.
FCSC Schedule Update – August 17–19
Dear FCSC Families and Staff,
Over the past several days, our Fayette County community has experienced tremendous hardship as a result of the flooding and devastation throughout our area. Many of our families and staff members have spent countless hours cleaning homes, helping neighbors, relocating loved ones, and responding to needs throughout our community. We recognize that the impact of this event has been not only physical, but emotional and mental as well.
After careful consideration of the needs of our students, families, staff, and community, Fayette County School Corporation will not be in session on Monday, August 17.
We know that many in our community are still actively working through the effects of the flooding. Some are dealing with damage to their homes and property with substantial work still to be done, some have been displaced, and many are simply physically and mentally exhausted from the work of the past several days. We believe it is important to give our FCSC family another day to focus on their families, their homes, their neighbors, and themselves.
Tuesday, August 18, will be a staff-only work day and a soft start for our FCSC staff. Staff members will have the flexibility to work in our school buildings as we prepare to welcome students back, or they may choose to serve alongside others in our community by assisting with continued cleanup and recovery efforts.
Our hope is that Tuesday provides our staff with an opportunity to reconnect, prepare, serve, and begin transitioning back into our school routines while still respecting the very real needs that exist throughout our community.
Students will return to school, and normal school operations will resume on Wednesday, August 19th.
As we prepare for Wednesday, we also recognize that "normal" may still look very different for many of our families. There may continue to be transportation challenges, displaced families, damaged homes, and other circumstances beyond anyone's control. We will approach these situations with grace, patience, flexibility, and compassion. No family should feel that school adds another burden during an already difficult time.
If your child has been directly affected by the flood, we ask that you fill out this Google Form so that we know of how to best serve you and are prepared for possible alternate tranportation plans.

We also ask everyone (our students, families, and staff) to continue to take care of themselves and one another. The physical work of recovery is demanding, and the emotional impact of what our community has experienced should not be overlooked. Our schools are more than buildings; they are places of connection, stability, and support. When we return, we want to be mindful that each person walking through our doors may be carrying something we cannot see.
The strength and compassion displayed throughout Fayette County during this crisis have been remarkable. We have watched neighbors help neighbors, staff members serve families, and people throughout our community step forward wherever there has been a need. That spirit of caring for one another is what will carry us through the days ahead.
For now, please continue to focus on what matters most: your health, your family, and your safety. We will continue to recover together, and we look forward to welcoming our students back on Wednesday, August 19th.
Again:
Monday, August 17th - No School
Tuesday, August 18th - Staff-Only Soft Restart
Wednesday, August 19th - Return to School
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of one another.
With a broken but grateful heart,
Mr. Duncan
