Welcome Frank Moates Family!
FME All Star FME Families,
Week two was a GREAT Week. Students are becoming acclimated to FME and our expectations. Learning took center stage and students were eager to participate. KUDOS!
As we are monitoring our systems, ensure that the following is taking place:
- You review the Weekly Newsletter with our scholar
- Ensure students complete assigned homework
- Students have supplies needed to complete homework and classwork
- Review grades in the Parent Portal (Set portal to notify you if the student receives any grades that are below 70 so that you are aware prior to report card time)
- Review and sign discipline log (They are sent on Tuesdays. If you do not receive a log, email your child's teacher and cc me so that I am aware.
- Review graded work with scholars. Graded work is sent home on Tuesdays.
Thanks for partnering with us!
Your Partners in Excellence,
Mrs. Robinson, Principal
Mr. Thomas, Assistant Principal
Attendance Rate for this Week
Just a friendly reminder attendance impacts student learning and achievement. We want to ensure that all students arrive to school/class on time. It is also imperative that students attend the entire day. Teachers have been instructed to teach from bell to bell and if a student leaves early he or she is missing out on quality instruction. Also, a doctor's note/ letter is needed for every absence in order for it to be excused. Please send notes with students the day that they return to campus.
- 3rd Grade- 90.91%
- 4th Grade 95.74%
- 5th Grade 94.36%
- Overall Campus 93.68%
Our goal is 100% attendance daily!

Students are expected to assist district staff in ensuring that buses and other district vehicles are
clean and safe. When riding in district vehicles, students are held to behavioral standards
established in this handbook and the Student Code of Conduct.
STUDENTS MUST:
• Follow the driver’s directions at all times.
• Enter and leave the vehicle in an orderly manner at the designated stop.
• Keep feet, books, instrument cases, and other objects out of the aisle.
• Not deface the vehicle or its equipment.
• Not put head, hands, arms, or legs out of the window, hold any object out of the window,
or throw objects within or out of the vehicle.

• Be seated while the vehicle is moving.
• Fasten their seat belts, if available.
• Wait for the driver’s signal upon leaving the vehicle and before crossing in front of the
vehicle.

Misconduct will be punished in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct, including loss of
the privilege to ride in a district vehicle.
Assessments
Students will be participating in NWEA MAP testing for the beginning, middle and end of the year. This assessment will assist teachers in identifying student areas of concern to address in preparation for STAAR. Teachers will share student data and goals with students and parents to ensure student growth and achievement.
STAAR and STAAR ALT 2 assessment is scheduled for this year and campus goals have been shared with our families and staff. STAAR testing is online (ARDs DO NOT assign mode of testing: paper vs. online).
Students participating in TELPAS and TELPAS ALT are scheduled to do so in the second semester of the school year. This will include writing samples and online testing.
