Hello from the Principal's Desk
I hope that you are heading into a restful weekend. As you do, I wanted to give you a quick update on the TEST PARTICIPATION DRAWING! As you know, for each test that your child did, you will be entered into a drawing for some great prizes. There is still a chance to get your name in the drawing an additional time by setting up a time to meet with your sponsor teacher; if you meet to go over the results, you will get an additional name in the drawing!
The drawing will be held at the end of quarter one. So, you still have a couple of weeks to meet with your sponsor. Take advantage of that great opportunity to get some valuable and actionable information to use this year!
The drawing will include some great prizes like an iPad, School Hoodies, a Lego set, sports equipment and more!

Battle of the Books
Does your student love to read books and meet new friends? Battle of the Books at FPCS is starting soon!
The Battle of the Books is a statewide reading motivation program. The program's goals are to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, broaden reading interests, increase reading comprehension, and promote academic excellence.
The best part is that it is super fun, and your student gets to hang out with other interesting kids who love to read!

*High school students have the option to earn a semester language arts credit for participating in Battle of the Book and completing specific course requirements.
Students must compete at the grade level in which they are currently enrolled per district/state rules. Only 6th graders can choose 5-6 or middle school since ASD has 6th graders at both elementary and middle schools.
