DON'T MISS IMPORTANT ALERTS!

We are pleased to report that all of our new families have been added to the Honeywell Instant Alert System. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience over the last few weeks. Please follow the instructions below to activate your account.

All returning families are encouraged to review their profiles at the beginning of each school year to ensure it reflects the most current information.
Once again, FCS will use the Honeywell Instant Alert System to notify families in the event of an unscheduled early dismissal, delay, or closing. Occasionally, the system will also be used to relay other important school announcements. Since Honeywell is the primary means used to convey important school information, it is vital for all school families to register with the system and keep their profiles up-to-date.
You may access the Honeywell site here. There is also a link under “Parent Links” on the FCS website.
All new families must register on the Honeywell site. To register, click“Parent” under the “New User? Sign Up Now!” heading. Select Virginia/Fredericksburg Christian and enter your child’s name and date of birth. Finally, enter your name and set up your user-name and password. You will then be able enter your contact information. You may also manage the types of alerts you wish to receive.
All returning families are asked to review their profiles at least once a year to ensure their information is up-to-date. This is especially important if you have moved, changed jobs, changed email addresses, or obtained a new cell phone since you last checked your account. Parents are responsible for maintaining their Honeywell account, so please be sure to update your profile if your contact information changes. Returning families will use their ID and password from last year.
When there is uncertainty as to whether it will be necessary to dismiss early due to weather, please be aware that campus offices are not notified in advance of the Honeywell alert. The best way for you to ensure you receive the very latest information is to maintain your Honeywell profile. Thank you for your assistance with this vital communication tool.
