Cliff Jones, FCS Chief of Staff, emphasizes the critical nature of this foundation, revealing, “We offer 80-plus Pre-K classes throughout our district.” FCS ensures its youngest learners are in the capable hands of highly trained teachers and staff, using a curriculum that is not only educational but enjoyable. Jones explains, “The Pre-K curriculum is fun and interactive, allowing teachers to scaffold important prerequisite skills in a way that’s both age appropriate and get them ready for kindergarten, first grade, and beyond.” For elementary education, the district focuses on an encompassing literacy program called ‘Every Child Reads.’ Launched during COVID-19 to combat the learning gap, the campaign took on an even more significant role with the aid of post-pandemic federal funds. Jones expands on its features, saying, “Every Child Reads is a transformational literacy effort. It allows students and teachers to benefit from the Science of Reading, an evidence-based method for teaching reading.” With this robust structure in place, every FCS student is assured an education that addresses their learning needs.
