Dear Team FCSS,
One of the greatest joys of working at FCSS is the incredible people we get to call our colleagues. We don’t just work alongside each other, we support, encourage, and lift one another up through both challenges and victories. Like many of you, I find that it’s often the small but meaningful moments that help brighten my day.
This month, we’re celebrating our Click-Worthy Co-Workers, the teammates who make a difference in ways both big and small. Maybe it's someone who always steps up to help, a colleague whose warmth brightens even the most demanding days, or a team member whose dedication to our mission elevates all of our work. The truth is, our co-workers shape our daily experience in ways we sometimes don’t even realize. They’re the ones who offer solutions when things get tricky, cheer us on when we need it most, and remind us that we’re in this together.
Right now, having a strong team around us matters more than ever. Education is in the spotlight in ways we can’t ignore; policy shifts, funding changes, and evolving expectations all impact our work. Change can bring challenges, but one thing remains steady: our commitment to students and each other. No matter what’s happening outside our walls, what we do inside them matters. Your work makes a difference. And your support for one another transforms FCSS from simply a workplace into a true community.
Over the next several months, you’ll hear about some update to our org chart and to how a few of our programs are structured. We’ll be making a few intentional adjustments to better align certain programs within various divisions. These shifts are designed to help us strengthen support to our school districts and respond more effectively to their evolving needs. We’re excited about these changes and view them as opportunities to enhance collaboration and continue delivering the high-quality service that defines FCSS.
As March winds down, take a moment to acknowledge the people who make your workdays better. Send that thank-you email. Give a well-deserved shout-out. Let someone know their efforts don’t go unnoticed. The one thing we can count on is each other.
With sincere gratitude and appreciation,
Michele
P.S. I have to say, I’m still smiling from my two recent Click-Worthy Co-Worker photos with our wonderful C&I team and extraordinary security guards (below). Their energy and commitment are exactly what make this place special!
