A Note from the FMS Administrative Team

FMS Families,

Please take a few minutes to read through the Newsletter. We have picture retakes this Thursday, October 10th.

To make your child's check-in and check-out process as efficient as possible, we kindly request that you have the barcode image from the Focus app ready when visiting the school. This will significantly speed up the process. Please remember to also have your photo ID with you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Dr. Kathryn Greer, Principal

Mr. Eric Eubank, Assistant Principal (Sixth Grade)

Mr. Kevin Kuehl, Assistant Principal (Seventh Grade)

Mr. Adam Bender, Assistant Principal (Eighth Grade)
