FPCS TIDBITS
Thursday, September 24, 2015
Working together with families in a partnership of teachers, staff and community members to provide an individualized learning environment that fosters high achievement in core and elective areas; preparing students for life-long success.
I have decided to send this weeks FPCS TIdbits a day earlier than normal in order to share with you some wonderful opportunities that are coming up very soon. I wanted to give you enough advanced notice so that you could plan accordingly.
We try our best to keep you informed of about events and opportunities related to our school. In addition to the FPCS Tidbits being e-mailed weekly, (via smore) you can also find links to each week's FPCS Tidbits on our website.
Have a great rest of the week!
Sincerely,
Deanne Carroll - Principal

Notice to parents
2015 Interscholastic Athletic Interest Survey – Grades 8 – 11 only
The 2015 Interscholastic Athletic Interest Student Survey is being administered to students to provide schools with information about student interests in athletics. This is an annual survey implemented and analyzed jointly by the ASD departments of Equal Employment Opportunity, Secondary Education and Assessment and Evaluation. This survey is a tool for understanding what interests our students have and how we can better serve their interests, while also meeting the federal requirements for Title IX. The survey window will be open between October 5 and 23 of 2015.
The questions contained in the student questionnaire ask about student interest in athletic opportunities. This message serves as a notice to parents about this upcoming survey.
- The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
- Other than the first three questions (school, gender or grade), if a student is uncomfortable with a question they are welcome to skip it and move on with the survey.
