There are several opportunities for parents, guardians and family members to get involved with your child's education at Florence Elementary. Any adults who will be interacting with students at FES are required to pass an annual background check. Information about how to complete background checks can be found below.
Field trips are valuable experiences that provide experiences to our students and teach them that they can learn outside of the classroom. Each grade level will go on at least one field trip per year. Teachers will send information and permission slips at least two weeks before the trip. There is a charge associated with most field trips, but no student will be excluded based on inability to pay.
All parents wishing to chaperone a field trip must pass a background check and undergo a brief training on the day of the trip. Parents are strongly encouraged to ride the bus with their child on the day of the trip.
Florence Elementary has a robust Parent/Teacher Organization. They meet monthly, sponsor several family events throughout the year, and provide support in various ways to our students and teachers. If you are interested in becoming a part of PTO, contact Alicia Coulter (PTO President) at aliciacoulter679@yahoo.com. Volunteering for PTO events that involve interaction with students requires passing a background check (information below).
Some teachers may use parents as classroom volunteers to make copies, organize materials, or complete other tasks to assist in their instruction. If you are interested in volunteering to help a teacher, please complete this form. All classroom volunteers are required to pass a background check (information below).
FES hosts at least one after-school family event per month. Click here for our family calendar to learn more about these events. These are often sponsored through our Family Resource Center or PTO. If you are interested in helping out at these events, please reach out to one of the people below:
