SCHOOL ACCESS
Fruit Cove Middle School regularly uses volunteers in several areas such as after school events, field trips, chaperoning, sporting events, drama productions, band, parent conferences and PTO – the opportunities are plentiful! They exist during school and after school hours so helping out can fit almost anyone’s schedule!
For the safety of the students and staff at Fruit Cove, St. Johns County School District has a policy where all visitors must complete a volunteer online school access form which is good for three years. When doing so you are agreeing to a criminal background check and a sexual offender check. You are also agreeing to abide by the policies and procedures of the St. Johns County School Board and its facilities while volunteering. The process can take two – six weeks to process your form.
If you have any questions feel free to contact our office at (904)547-7880.

From the front office
Early checkout If you need to take your student out of school early, the latest time that he/she can be picked up is at 1:20PM (12:20PM on Wednesdays). If you come after that time, you will need to wait until dismissal at 1:50PM (12:50PM on Wednesdays) to get your student.

Our School Advisory Council (SAC) needs teacher and staff members for the 2024-2025 school year! Please reach out if you can join us! 😊
What is SAC?
- A council of parents, school faculty and staff, and other community and business members who meet to address the needs of the school, as related to the school improvement plan.
- A council of stakeholders who vote on expenditures to support the school improvement plan, such as items for PBIS and new computers that were approved and purchased last year.
- FCMS SAC meets once a month, on the second Tuesday of each month at 2:30pm. Our first meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 10th at 2:30pm in the Media Center.
What are the duties of the teacher, parent, business, and community representatives?
- Members act as a resource for SAC in the areas of community related issues that affect the school and its students.
- Members serve as a communications link between SAC, business, community, and parent groups.
