Dear FMS Families,
Welcome to October! We are in the final stages of the 1st quarter and parent/teacher conferences are right around the corner. Checking the parent portal is a great way to stay up to date on your child's academic progress. If you have questions we encourage you to email your child's teachers so that they can answer any questions you might have before the quarter ends next Friday.
See below for the latest news and announcements:
