Hello from the Principal's Desk
I want to say a huge thank you to all of those who participated in the fall testing for MAP and mClass. In the days to come your sponsor teachers will be reaching out to you to set up a time to review the results with you if you would like. It will give you actionable information that you can use at home to ensure that you kids can make the progress that they need to this year.
In other news, our Enrichment classes are up and running! Don't forget to check out all of your options on our website. These are a great way to supplement what you are doing at home with some fun classroom-based instruction where your child will get to work with other FPCS students and one of our great sponsor teachers. This year, if your child is struggling in math, you can sign up for the math Enrichment classes for free while space is available. We want to make sure that every student is able to be successful in math and reading!
Speaking of free, you can also sign up for a free IXL account this year! Just let your sponsor teacher know that you would like to take advantage of this great tool. Boost is also available through your child's ASD Clever account! These are both great tools to help your child either close gaps in their learning or get some enrichment/extension activities.
Have a wonderful weekend!!

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!
