"The Place to be is Always FJC!"

September 3, 2026
First Day of School

What a wonderful first week at FJC!

There is something truly special about the first day of school. After a summer of quiet hallways and empty classrooms, it was so exciting to hear FJC filled once again with the sounds we missed most: laughter, conversations, and the excitement of our students!

We could not be prouder of the incredible job our students are doing as they adjust to a new school year. For some, that means learning a new classroom and teacher. For others, it means beginning a brand-new grade or even walking through the doors of FJC for the very first time. No matter the transition, our students have already shown us just how brave, capable, and ready they are for the year ahead.

A huge thank you to our families for your patience, cooperation, and support as we worked together to make arrival and dismissal run as smoothly as possible. We know the first few days bring new routines for everyone, and your partnership makes such a difference.

Most of all, it was simply wonderful to have our students back where they belong. FJC feels like FJC again!

We are incredibly excited about all that this school year will bring and cannot wait for the learning, friendships, celebrations, and memories ahead.

Here’s to an amazing 2026–2027 school year at FJC!

Welcoming Our Newest Eagles: Kindergarten Social

On August 24, we had the incredible opportunity to welcome some of our youngest learners and their families to FJC during our annual Kindergarten Social!

For many of our incoming kindergarteners, this was one of their first opportunities to experience what it feels like to be an FJC Eagle. Students and families visited their new classrooms, dropped off school supplies, took a ride on a school bus, and then headed outside to the playground to meet new friends and enjoy time together.

Our incredible Rocky Point PTA helped make the morning even more special. They created a festive photo backdrop for families, invited Matt the Music Man to provide some fun and entertainment, and treated every incoming kindergartener to an icee!

Events like this simply would not be possible without the time, generosity, and support of our PTA. We are so grateful for everything they do to help create meaningful experiences for our students and families.

Seeing our newest Eagles exploring their school, meeting their classmates, and beginning to feel at home was the perfect way to start the year. It was another wonderful reminder of just how special our school community is and why the place to be is always FJC!
 

Thank You Rocky Point PTA!

A huge THANK YOU to the Rocky Point PTA for helping make the start of our school year so special!

From organizing an incredible Kindergarten Social, to welcoming our students with Chalk the Walk, to providing first-day snacks for our faculty and staff, the PTA has already done so much to help us kick off the year on such a positive note.

We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and care our PTA puts into supporting FJC and creating memorable experiences for our students, families, faculty, and staff. Their partnership truly makes a difference in our school community!
