FAME Academy News Blast
Week of August 13th
Vol. 3 Ed. 1. Welcome Back Edition!
First Day of School
On behalf of the faculty and staff at FAME Academy, I would like to welcome you to the 2019-2020 school year. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer relaxing, spending time with family, and making memories. The beginning of the school year is always full of anticipation with back to the school shopping, meeting your teacher and seeing those friends you haven't seen all summer.
Our teachers have been busy preparing their classrooms and lessons to welcome your children into their classroom home. This school year, we will continue our Fine Arts integration and project-based learning in the content areas. All of our elementary schools will begin using a standards-based report where students will demonstrate the evidence of their learning in various ways. There will be an informational meeting on Tuesday, September 24 about the new standards-based report card.
Our PTF (Parent, Teacher, Friends Organization) has been busy this summer organizing fundraisers and events for our families this school year. I hope we all our families will have the opportunity to volunteer in some capacity within our school. There will be information going home in how you can volunteer in our school throughout the school year.
In closing, it is an honor to serve as your child's principal. As a parent, I always want the best for my children when it comes to being cared for and with their education. Our teachers & staff go above and beyond in taking care of all of our children as if it was their own children. If I can assist any of you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jeff Mathheus
Principal
