We will begin in our newly rennovated gym with a short program and then parents will meet with teams to get important information about the upcoming school year. Our program will conclude promptly at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you there! From the Principal's Desk We have been very busy gearing up for opening day on September 7th. Our custodial staff has worked tirelessly to get rooms back in order and lockers installed. Students will receive their locker assignments on or about the first day of school as we are still waiting for locker numbers and combinations. Our two day orientation and registration period was very successful with almost 600 hundred students picking up schedules and getting their pictures taken. If you were not able to stop in, the remaining 6th grade schedules were mailed out this week and 7th and 8th graders will be able to pick up their schedules in the lobby when they arrive on the 7th. All students should report to their first period on the first day. Picture make up day will be September 28th. There have been significant staffing changes with new team assignments due to some retirements and teacher requests. We are very excited about the moves as it will bring new energy and fresh ideas to the new teams. Our goal this year is to offer shared key experiences for every student regardless of what team they are assigned to. Our focus will be on providng consistent quality educational opportunites for all FMS students. Volunteers Needed
