Principal's Message May 17, 2019
|
|
Good afternoon FHMS families. With the 2018-19 school year quickly coming to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about some important events in and around FHMS in the coming week:
Friday, May 17
The 8th grade promotion dance is this evening from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. Admission and refreshments are free, so there is no need for students to bring any money. Only students who are participating in the Academic Promotion Ceremony on May 23 may attend the dance. All students must be picked up promptly at 8:00 p.m. Girls should be picked up by the front office and boys should be picked up in the back by the gym. For safety reasons, no students will be permitted to leave the dance prior to 8:00, nor will they be permitted to walk home.
Monday, May 20
The academic reward trip to Golfland Sunsplash in Mesa is for students who earned Honor Roll or Principal's list for the 3rd quarter grading term. If your student is attending this trip, please be sure he/she brings a bathing suit, towel, sunscreen and sack lunch (unless you indicated on the permission slip for the cafeteria to provide a lunch). Money for snacks and games is optional. We strongly encourage students to leave any electronics or items of value at home. The bus will return to FHMS at 5:30 p.m., at which time students must be picked up.
Monday, May 20 - Wednesday May 22
Many of our 8th graders will be attending the Camp Surf trip to Imperial Beach, CA. Any questions regarding the trip should be directed to Patti Schultz (pschultz@fhacademics.org.) We will try to post updates on Facebook throughout the trip.
Wednesday, May 22
This is NOT an early release day. It is a full day of school with a release time of 3:10 p.m.
Thursday, May 23
This is the last day of school. It is a half-day with a release time of 12:15 p.m. Lunch will not be served for students in grades 6-8. Report Cards will be send home with students.
8th graders will be rehearsing for promotion from 10:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m., so we ask that they are in attendance that day and not be signed out early. The 8th grade Academic Promotion Ceremony is 6:00 p.m. in the FHMS gymnasium. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and students must report to the cafeteria by 5:40 to meet their Academic Strategies teacher. Students must wear clothing that is dress code appropriate.
Please Note: In order to participate in the promotion ceremony, 8th graders must have turned in all library books, textbooks, locks, and sports uniforms, and paid any cafeteria balances or other expenses.
Stay tuned in June when I will send out another email to all FHMS families with information regarding the upcoming 2019-20 school year and our Back to School Night. The first day of school will be Tuesday, August 6.
Thank you and have a great weekend!

Falcon Football
Current FHMS students interested in playing football: FHHS football coach Jason Henslin and his staff will be hosting a Summer Football Camp this June for students who will be in 5th-8th grade for the 2019-20 school year. Students will receive instruction from the Fountain Hills High School coaches and current Falcon Football players, which will allow them to get to know their future coaches before they start high school. Students will learn the basics of football: tackling, throwing, catching, blocking. They will also get to play non-contact games against each other while having the high school players coach each team. The camp will be Monday-Thursday, June 3-20, from 8am-10am at the high school. The fee is $125. You can register on the Summer School page of the district website.
