School Pictures
View your School Portraits, and select your yearbook/class picture before Retake Day!
To view your school portraits look for an email sent to you by “Visual Image Photography”, or go to vipis.com
Retake pictures will be taken on Friday, October 21st. This is only for students who have not yet taken a Yearbook Portrait this year or students who have reported a need for a new picture
Retake photos will be added to your online image gallery and you’ll receive an email alert about a week after photo day
The final deadline to select an image is about two weeks after photo day, after which VIP will choose a yearbook image for you. (Seniors, refer to separate deadlines about yearbook picture submissions)
If you have questions, please email support@vipis.com
FAMS Athletics
Boys Basketball Starting Soon - All participants in FAMS athletics must register online at fortathletics.com. Along with this online process, students also need a physical exam - completed exam forms must be on file in our school’s main office. Physicals are good for two school years with an alternate year approval via the online form. There is a fee for school sports of $50 for sport 1; $40 for sport 2 and $30 for sport 3. All of these items must be complete before competition begins.
FAMS Parent Advisory Committee (PAC)
In addition, some parents were asking what they could do to be more involved. A couple of parents asked if they could bring in "breakfast" for our teachers the morning after conferences. That would be very kind, and they were going to try and organize some other parents to help with this task (please keep an eye out for that message).
We will be meeting again as a PAC on Monday, November 14th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. All are welcome, and we are appreciative of the feedback.
Future Meeting Dates:
November 14th
January 9th
February 13th
April 10th
May 8th
⭐ Capital & Operational Referendum⭐
As you may be aware, an election is coming up on Tuesday, November 8th. Please note, the School District will have an operational and a capital referendum question on the ballot. Each week leading up to the election, we will be sharing information with you so that you have the information you need to make an informed decision when you head to your polling location.
Learn more about the operational and capital referendum here on our SDFA referendum webpage.
