Dear Team FMS,
The Book of FMS is linked below. We went over this as a new staff. Returning staff, please take a moment to review. I've highlighted the new info.
Super Shout Out to our amazing custodians! Our building is shining because of the hard work that happened all summer! WOWZA!
Soak up that summer sun and we can't wait to kick off the #BestYearEver at FMS!
Sincerely,
