About STEAM

FBCS offers a Robotics After School program for our students.  Robotics helps our students develop their computational thinking skills and teaches our students how to solve problems. Through robotics, FBCS students are challenged to use their knowledge to complete specific tasks such as designing and coding rovers and other machines to perform specific functions.  There is an annual Robotics competition to culminate the end of the semester’s after school program.

FBCS has an annual Steam Night for 3rd-6th grade students. This special event provides hands-on opportunities for our students to experiment, explore and understand how scientists use the world around us to imagine new things.

  • A uniform check will be held daily by homeroom teachers. Violations of the uniform policy will result in disciplinary action. For every third uniform violation, the student will receive a disciplinary write up.

  • Uniforms (including shoes) should be in good condition and should be replaced when deemed necessary.
