A Note from the FMS Administrative Team
We are delighted with how smoothly our Eagles have transitioned into a new school year (and for many, into a brand new school)! Routines have quickly been established, and student engagement in learning has been evident in all of our classrooms. We are incredibly appreciative of all that you have done at home to help lay the groundwork for a successful year, even in what still feels like an abnormal time.
The staff is excited to open our doors to our FMS families on Thursday, September 9 for our annual open house. This will be an opportunity for families to visit classrooms, get to know their students' teachers, and become familiarized with the curriculum. In the article below, you will find more information regarding specific times and locations. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Dr. Laura Rowe, Principal
Mr. Kevin Kuehl, Assistant Principal (7th Grade)
Mr. Stan Johnson, Assistant Principal (8th Grade)

Counselors' Corner - Outside Agency Information
The content of several of the middle school programs offered in the WSD is intended to help students develop personal and social competencies in order to manage stress, make safe and healthy choices, and maintain positive relationships with others. For several years, the WSD has partnered with several community agencies specializing in providing students, families and educators with preventative education. Agency presenters are credentialed and coordinated through the WSD Administrative Office and are under the supervision of our school principals. Presentations are targeted towards specific grade levels, and lessons are delivered either in the classroom or virtually. The following is a list of community agencies and topics that are planned for the 2021-2022 school year.
Compass Health
7th Grade: Cyberbullying (2 lessons)
8th Grade: Healthy Relationships: Teen Dating Violence Prevention (3 lessons)
-Please note that these 8th grade lessons require written parent permission, which will be sent out 30 days before the presentations are scheduled.
The Child Center
The Body Safety Program
7th Grade: Sexual Harassment and Online Enticement Prevention (1 lesson)

If for any reason you object to your child’s participation in any of these educational programs or would like more information, please contact the student’s school counselor. For students whose parents opt out of any topic, the school will offer an alternative activity during the time of the presentation(s).
As the student population continues to grow, we all share responsibility for working together to facilitate our children’s personal and academic growth, and to ensure a culture of mutual respect and a safe school environment. We highly value your role as a partner in your child’s education and welcome your feedback at any time. Thank you.
