I hope your summer is lingering…I hope that the days are long and that it still feels like Aug. 10 is far, far away. For us in the office, August 10 is peering just ahead, up around the corner! But that’s OK, we will be enjoying our time off when the office is closed June 26-July 24.

We do have some back-to-school news for you. Our FHMS “Meet your Teacher” will be held Aug. 7, 1-3 PM. This is when we open our doors and parents and students are welcome to come in, look around, find your classrooms, and get re-acquainted with us. We will also be selling PE uniforms, taking money for cafeteria accounts, etc. I hope you can make it!

Our first day of school is Aug. 10, and it is an early release day. We will dismiss at 11:45.

Our “Back to School” event will take place Aug. 20, 6-8 PM. This is when parents are invited to come and see what the students see when they go to school each day. parents will sequence through a version of the student’s schedule and will be able to hear a presentation from each teacher.

We added two elective classes that may still have openings! Eight Grade Boys Weight Training and Choir. The choir is open to all students and is a full year course. Boys weight training is only open to 8th grade boys. These courses give us even more options in our elective class opportunities for students. If you would like to save a spot, call Mrs. Gomez as soon as possible: 664-5420. 

I have included the “welcome back” letter that will go out to students when your schedules are mailed in August. Please click on the link below. Have a great REST of your summer!
