SUMMER CREW AT THE FARM
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
Principal
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!
