Florence-Carlton Falcon Families: 

I am excited to start another wonderful year as your Florence-Carlton Middle School Principal! This will be my seventh year at Florence-Carlton. Last year was my first year serving as the Middle School Principal,  I had the pleasure of teaching in the middle school for three years before serving as the district's assistant principal and facilities director. I am looking forward to serving our wonderful students, dedicated staff, and supportive school community. 

My door is always open, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. It is my goal to keep communication open and positive in order to continue providing the best learning environment for your students. 



Monthly update from the Principal

March 2024 FCMS newsletter

Hello Florence-Carlton Middle School Families,

It is hard to believe that we are already in March. Below you will find some important dates as well as general updates and reminders for the month. 

The end of the third quarter is on the 27th of this month. The end of the second Trimester for 7th-grade rotation classes is the 6th of March. The 7th-grade students will be transitioning into their third exploratory class for the year on the 7th of March. 

As the weather gets warmer please remind your students they need to be following the school dress code. Below are the dress code expectations from our middle school handbook for you to review with your child. 

FCMS Dress Code: 

1. Clothes will be neat in appearance, not excessively torn. 

2. Abbreviated or scanty clothing is not acceptable, which shall include but is not limited to: see-through shirts, exposed midriffs, open-back clothing, and excessive showing of skin. Shirts will meet slacks or skirts when standing and sitting.

3. Sleeveless and modest tank tops are acceptable. Tube tops, open-sided tank shirts, and spaghetti straps are not allowed. Excessive skin will not be shown. 

4. No underwear will be visible—examples: bra straps, boxer shorts showing, or pajama wear. 

5. Dresses, skirts, and shorts should be of sufficient length to be appropriate for classroom settings. A general rule of thumb will be: minimum length should be approximately the ends of the fingers while standing with arms relaxed at the sides.
