Greetings FRS Parents and Guardians,
We hope the back to school transition is smooth for you and your family. We are excited to have our halls once again filled with the excitement, learning, and laughter of our students.
School Picture Day: Our annual student Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday, October 6, 2022. An ordering envelope from Cimino Photography will come home the week prior. Parents can complete the ordering envelope, enclose payment, and send your child to school with the envelope on School Picture Day. We will have a make-up picture day later in the school year for students who were absent.
