June 5th, 2018
Dear Team FMS,
We hope that you are having a fabulous start to the summer! Just a few notes to keep everyone in the loop as we work on things this summer.
What's happening in your world? Keep the #FMSTeach hashtag going strong all summer long with your vaca pics, PD pics and articles/resources to share. Love staying connected.
Hope you are getting a chance to rest and relax! Let us know if you need anything at all!
Sincerely,
Beth and Erica
What Have We Been Up To??
6th Grade Welcome Wagon
The counselors and principals worked with the elementary schools to identify students that need a little extra TLC as they transition to FMS. We filled up swag bags and made home visits inviting each of them to a Popsicles with the Principals and Friends event last Wednesday from 5-6. Our ambassadors gave tours and helped them with their lockers. After we visited these 11 students, Erica and I said...why not visit ALL the new 6th graders. The Welcome Wagon was truly born at this moment. We are finalizing our visits today. Pretty awesome to visit 180 of our Class of 2025! We also invited all students to get their lockers last Wednesday. Excitement was high for sure! We've invited them to come back to practice throughout the summer. Thank you to our counselors and secretaries for helping us to get this organized. Truly appreciate the awesome teamwork!
Scheduling
We are about finished with the schedule. I've emailed several that have new things going on and will get the rest out early next week. Erica is almost finished with the duty schedule as well and will get that to you.
