Share Your Ideas: Enhancing Parent Involvement!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I've been reflecting on the valuable conversations I've had with many of you. It's clear there's a shared eagerness among parents to support our school, yet a common theme emerges: uncertainty about available volunteer opportunities. Your enthusiasm is truly inspiring, and I want to ensure that every parent has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully.
That's why I'm collaborating with our dedicated staff to streamline the process and create a comprehensive list of volunteer opportunities. Your input is invaluable in this endeavor.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions on how parents can get involved, please don't hesitate to email me directly at bmarzano@fpschools.org. Let's work together to make our school community even stronger.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication.
Brixey Marzano

As we finalize the transition between Skyward and Qmlativ, we ask that parents and guardians review and update their student's information in our Qmlativ/Skyward database. This information allows FPS and your student's school to stay connected with you and access vital information about your child's health and safety.

Thank you in advance for completing the Annual Student Information Update!
Attention Senior Cards and Families!
It is now time to purchase a GRAD AD for your senior. Grad ads are pages that appear in the yearbook that are made SPECIFICALLY for your student! Grad Ads are now a flat rate of $100 for one full-page, full-color, fully customizable ad!
Grad ads usually include baby/childhood photos, family photos, senior portraits and a message from the family.
To purchase a Grad Ad, follow the instructions for FPHS students below:
***Please note - Grad Ads are due by April 1st, but purchasing in advance is recommended to guarantee a spot. Grad Ad messages and photos must be "school appropriate" as outlined in the FPHS Student Handbook to be printed.
SENIOR YEARBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey Seniors!
A friendly reminder from the FPHS Yearbook Staff....Send your SENIOR PORTRAITS to the Yearbook as soon as possible! If you took Senior Photos this year and would like them to appear in the yearbook (replacing your school photo) now is your chance. These must be high quality photos and school appropriate - including no mirror pics, selfies, or distracting filters. They must be clear, close-up and only have the senior in the photo.
Send your photo files to FPHS_yearbook@fpschools.org or talk to Ms. Rice in 801 - a yearbook staff member will get back to you if your photo doesn't meet standards.
