Inside the Fox Den
Connecting FLMS Students, Parents, Faculty and Staff
Technology at the Middle School
The new school year is off to an excellent start! I am thoroughly enjoying spending time with the students in their classrooms, at lunch in the cafeteria and especially out on the volleyball court at recess. As we get underway, you'll find that we use more and more technology to support students and communicate with parents. This newsletter is our attempt to familiarize you with the redesigned Middle School webpage, the Apps we use to communicate, and how to find all sorts of helpful information.
Best,
Mary Harrison
Principal of Fox Lane Middle School

Health & Safety
A few reminders to ensure that school is safe and we can continue to provide in-person learning for all of our students.
- All students should bring a mask to school with them. They are required indoors except when actively eating. We will continue to encourage students to sit outside for lunch weather permitting.
- All persons riding school buses must wear masks.
- Students are encouraged to bring refillable water bottles to school. We have numerous refilling stations.
