We had a fantastic Homecoming Week here at Faribault Middle School! From the creative dress-up days to the fun classroom activities, contests, and our spirited pep fest, it was a week full of excitement and school pride. The best part was seeing the joy on our students' faces as they connected with friends and celebrated together.
Thank you for your continued support in making this week such a great success!

D and F Dialer
This message will be sent to families bi-weekly on Monday's
Hello, this is Jesse Armbruster, Assistant Principal of Faribault Middle School. You are receiving this message as a way to inform you that your child currently has a D or is failing one or more classes. It’s important to connect with your child’s teacher to discuss their progress and develop a plan for improvement.
I would also suggest a few things that can help your child improve their grades:
- Encourage daily study habits and review class materials.
- Make use of extra help sessions or tutoring services we offer at FMS.
- Help them create a structured schedule to manage their time effectively. This should include regular grade checks in both Schoology and Infinite Campus.
Thank you for your support in helping your child succeed.
