Message from the Principal

• Everybody Wear Purple on MONDAY! - Support a member of our Bulldog Family, Keira, and wear purple on Monday! See details below.
  

• 8th Grade Recognition - May 25th @ 9:00 AM in the GHMS Gym (more details to come)

• Related Arts Selection - (6th & 7th Grade Only) - Mrs. Scroggs sent an email with this information. Students will be requesting related arts on Monday.
  

• Morning Bell Reminder - Students are supposed to be in their homeroom class by 8:10 when the bell rings, NOT just entering the building. The car rider line has gotten a little late recently, so help us by giving yourselves a couple of extra minutes to get to school.

• State Testing Dates are Set! - See details below...

• Recreation Equipment - Parents if you have any new or gently use recreation equipment that you would like to donate to our "Toy Bin" for our blacktop time. As you can imagine, we go through a great deal of equipment throughout the school year. The ONLY equipment we would need is Basketballs, Volleyballs, Soccer Balls, Four Square or Kick Balls. Please no footballs. Thanks!

Dear Parents,

Just a few end of the year reminders from the Health Room:

Medications: Prescription and OTC
• If your student has an over the counter medication in the Health Room, please pick up no later than end of school day (half day) Thursday May 25 2023. Medications will not roll over to the next school year. Any unclaimed medication will be disposed of after this time.

• If your student has a prescription medication in the Health Room a parent must pick up by the last day of school. Prescription medications will be released to a parent only, regardless of the age of the student. Any unclaimed prescription medication will be disposed after the time designated above.

• Medication permission forms (Form M105) for prescription and OTC medications can be found on the FMSD website under Student Health Services. If your student has his/her yearly physical during the summer months and will need prescription medication available at school for the 2023-2024 school year, it would be a good idea to take a form with you to the appointment for physician completion and signature. These are also the same forms used for OTC medications, such as Advil or Tylenol, but OTC only requires a parent signature.

FMSD medication policies can be reviewed through this link:

Medical Paperwork
If your student had medical paperwork on file in the Health Room this school year you will receive and email with attached forms for the 2023-2024 school year. Please complete these forms and return to the Health Room on or before the first day of school. Keep in mind that if your student requires medication at school or needs to carry an inhaler or epi pen, the appropriate paperwork needs to be completed by parent and physician per district policy. Forms must be updated each school year.

Please feel free to contact the Health Room with any questions or concerns. Wishing you and your family a healthy and relaxing summer!
