FMS Open House Nights
Thank you all for attending and engaging in our Open House over the past two weeks! As you know, this year we modified the format for the night. I received mixed reviews on the new structure and will be incorporating feedback from parents and staff into the design of next year. I am thankful for the feedback thus far and celebrate the atmosphere of open communication so we can better serve our community during Open House, with the goal of supporting and informing families.
I have inserted one slide below that several families asked for, but please reach out if you have any questions or comments from Open House.
Thank you!
Dr. Werner
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
6th Grade Team Building - Friday, September 22nd
Dear 6th Grade Students and Parents/Guardians,
This Friday, September 22nd we will be having our annual 6th grade team building day here at school!!! We wanted to send a short note with some important information regarding the team building day! In the morning we will be participating in curriculum based activities where A and B team students will be placed together in groups and go through a circuit of six different activities. 3rd, 4th, and 5th period will not be affected by the team building day. Students will still have their Day 6 Unified Arts classes as well as lunch. In the afternoon we will be outside doing team building activities followed by soft pretzels thanks to the generosity of our PTO. If your child has a food allergy and cannot have soft pretzels, please feel free to send in a snack with your child. Please dress for the weather – we will be outside all afternoon! Please bring a labeled water bottle. Make sure appropriate footwear is worn – NO FLIP FLOPS!! Thanks!
Sincerely,
The Sixth Grade Staff

PTO Donations
Please consider donating to the PTO. Your support allows us to provide funding for field days, assemblies, grade level activities, 8th Grade Picnic, Fright Night, staff hospitality, philanthropy and much more. The PTO asks for donations at the beginning of the school year so we don't have to do a bunch of community fundraisers throughout the year. We kindly suggest a minimum family donation of $20 but appreciate you being as generous as you can. We really appreciate it!
