It's Parent/Teacher Conference Time!

4th Grade: Conferences will be held the week of March 5 by appointment. Scheduling notices will be sent home. Please contact your child's teacher if you do not receive a notice.

5th Grade: Forms will be sent home requesting conferences only to those students who are in danger of failing one or more subjects. If a teacher does not feel a conference is necessary, parents may still request one by contacting the teacher.

Grades 6-8: We will have conferences during the day on Thursday, March 8 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. On Friday, March 9, teachers will be conferencing from 8:00 a.m. to noon. It will be an "open house" format for both days, and parents are invited to attend as convenient. Requests will be sent home for mandatory parent meetings for students who are failing one or more subjects.

As always, teachers are available by phone and email. Call our office at 480.664.5414 with any questions or to leave a message.

Above That Club

This week's Above That Club meeting had 17 students in attendance who worked diligently on their service project. The students completed 55 Valentine's Day note cards that were given to Home Delivered Meal recipients on Wednesday. Maria Perreault, Program Manager for the Fountain Hills Coalition said she is very proud of how hard the students worked on the cards, and hopes the recipients enjoyed the messages and the sentiment behind the cards.

The purpose of Above That Club is to educate and inspire students to stay away from negative influences. All FHMS students are welcome to join. This FREE club is all about having fun in a positive environment free of negative influences. They meet one Monday each month after school and Mrs. Schultz is the advisor.
