Student Life at FNCS
A Christ Centered Environment
At Far North Christian School, student life is grounded in a Christ centered environment where academic growth, personal responsibility, and spiritual development go hand in hand. Our goal is to provide a nurturing space where students thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
Health & Safety
We are committed to a coordinated approach to illness management that prioritizes student health and maintains a safe, healthy school environment.
When to Stay Home
Students should remain home when they:
- Have a fever (100.4°F or higher)
- Have vomited or had diarrhea within the last 12 hours
- Have symptoms that prevent participation in school activities
- Any symptoms requiring care beyond what can adequately be provided at school
Returning to School
Students may return when:
- They are fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication
- Symptoms are improving
- They are well enough to participate in school activities
Prevention
Families can help reduce the spread of illness by:
- Frequent handwashing with soap and water
- Covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow
- Staying home when sick
- Cleaning commonly touched surfaces when needed
- Encouraging healthy routines such as adequate rest and personal hygiene

Lunchtime & Outdoor Play
Every day includes time to eat, play, and reset. Outdoor recess happens when weather allows, with warm indoor alternatives during colder days.
Lunches
Parents are responsible to provide food for their children, and to inform the office if their child has any food sensitivities (Nuts, milk, gluten, etc.).
Microwaves are available for use.
We do not provide a “hot lunch”.
If you are interested in children’s nutrition and/or coordinating a more nutritious option, please contact us for getting involved.
Recess
When temperatures are warmer than 0 degrees, pre-K and K students will have outdoor recess with appropriate winter gear.
When temperatures are warmer than -20 degrees, older students can have outdoor recess if they have appropriate winter gear.
Indoor recess is available during colder temperatures.
