From the Desk of Principal Fears
We have completed the PSSAs!
If your child missed a day of school during the PSSAs they will need to make up whatever section(s) they missed. Students will be given a slip by their homeroom teacher which will tell them where to go to complete their PSSA.
May is an exceptionally exciting month for Fugett Middle School. Please view the calendars below to make sure you don't miss out on all the activities.
Have a great week!

Fright Night Committee
We are still in need of a few people to chair the Fright Night Committee! It seems like a large task, but if a number of people do it, it makes it easier. NO CHAIR, NO EVENT! Here is the committee description below:
Fright Night: This could be a two-person chair. (Many hands make light work!) The chair(s) of this committee oversee the event of Fright Night held in October. This is a well-oiled machine which has specific notes and instructions for it. The commitment is for September and October. It is mostly emails for planning and then in person for the week of the event.
If you are interested in this committee or just want more information, please email the PTO at FugettPTO@gmail.com!
