Progress Reports

Teachers have completed their mid-year assessments of our students. You should receive a progress report in your email by 1/10/20. Progress reports are used to track students' social, emotional, physical, and academic progress using nationally accepted standards for child development. If you have any questions regarding your child's progress, his/her teacher will be happy to answer them for you. Thank you for sharing your children with us and we are honored to partner with you in their growth and development.

Fun Shop, Wed. 1/15/20

Fun Shop is a chance for parents/grandparents to come together for a few hours at the school to help our teachers by die cutting, making copies, laminating, and other activities, saving our teachers much needed time.

The next Fun Shop is scheduled for Jan. 15 from 9a-noon. You may come and go as your schedule allows during this time. We'll meet upstairs in the resource room of Wesley Hall.

FMS loves volunteers!
