2021 8th Grade Slide Show

Thank you to all of our families and 8th grade students for making our 2021 Promotion Ceremony a huge success. Thank you also to all of the FRMS staff members who worked behind the scenes and during the event to make sure it went smoothly.

Two things:

1. If your FRMS Hybrid or Options student was not able to attend last night, we have their promotion certificate in the office. Please feel free to pick up certificates anytime before the office closes on June 25th.
2.  Each 8th grade Hybrid or Options students were given three promotion gifts on behalf of FRMS- Class of 2025 sunglasses, a customized pen, and a Class of 2025 lanyard- all in Elmira High School Purple. FRMS students should have received their sunglasses on their last day of school. Promotion participants received their pens and lanyards during the ceremony. Options students can pick up their sunglasses at FRMS before the 25th. Students who missed the ceremony can pick up their gifts when they pick up their certificates.

Congratulations again to the future high school class of 2025!

8th Grade Promotion Livestream

“A Block” Students 6:00

FRMS 8th Grade Promotion

“B Block” Students 7:45

Thank you to Sarah Wartenbee, Rick Gardner and James Monegan for helping us with livestreaming our promotion. Thank you to all of the FRMS staff who worked to make this year’s 8th grade promotion ceremony shine!

We are busy setting up the gym for 8th grade promotion tomorrow. We just want to remind our 8th grade families of the following:

Promotion is Wednesday, June 16th. “A” Block Students at 6:00 and “B” Block Students at 7:45.

Doors open 15 minutes before promotion.

Only two guests (whether parents, siblings, or other relatives) per a student and guests must have their tickets. Tickets will go home with students today and tomorrow.

Students and their guests will enter the gym directly from the patio entrance on the side of the building. Guests will sit in marked spots on the bleachers and students will sit with their classmates on the floor.

Facemasks required.

Socially distancing inside the gym- we have marked off where family pairs can sit.

The gym will be disinfected and cleaned between ceremonies.

Students do not have to “dress up” for promotion but the FRMS dress code still applies.

Families are welcome to park across the street at the district office or down Territorial at Elmira Elementary if the FRMS spaces are filled. Please do not park on the field.

We are hoping to be able to offer a “livestream” of the event. Stay tuned for more information tomorrow.

Welcome to Shelby Humphrey, our new secretary!

Fern Ridge Middle School said goodbye to our head secretary Tammy Eutsler today. Tammy leaves us to be the secretary at Elmira High School. We want to thank Tammy for her hard work and commitment to our school and our students. Tammy’s energy and enthusiasm kept our office on track and helped our whole school run smoother.

Thank you for everything and good luck at EHS Tammy!

Replacing  Tammy as our head secretary will be Shelby Humphrey. We are excited to have Shelby as part of our office staff and we know she will do an excellent job.

Great news! It looks like we are a go for our 8th grade promotion inside in the gym on Wednesday, June 16th. We will have two ceremonies, one for our “A Block” students at 6:00 PM and a second ceremony for our “B Block” students at 7:45 PM. This will give us time to clean and disinfect surfaces between ceremonies.

We will have to limit each student to just two guests in order to meet capacity limits. No exceptions. Tickets for their two guests will be given to 8th grade students closer to the ceremony.

Fern Ridge Middle School is excited to announce that we will be holding a Summer Learning Camp for targeted 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students from  July 12th to August 5th, Monday thru Thursday, 9:30 to 1:00 Transportation will be provided and school lunch served. Participating students will each take four classes in their 3.5 hour day- Language Arts, Math, Field Games like Frisbee Golf and Field Hockey, and a Summer Fun Activity Class which could range from painting to orienteering to arts and crafts.

We are offering this opportunity to specific students first, students whose teachers have identified them as needing extra support following this difficult year.  These could be students who found it difficult to work online, who have had a higher number of absences than usual due to the pandemic, and/or have not been performing in the classroom like we know they can and have in the past.

Students in this first  group were either mailed home information about our Summer Learning Camp or emailed information about our Summer Learning Camp. If you received the invite and wanted to accept but have not called to let us know, it’s not too late- call us at 541-935-8230 to reserve your slot.

If you did not receive  a priority invite, but would like your child to participate, we are now accepting reservations for our remaining open spaces  on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to reserve a spot for your child, just click on and complete the online application.

FRMS Families: Chromebooks will need to be returned to the school. It helps us with planning and will make things a little smoother if you sign up for a time/location and bring the completed Student Device Check In Form in with you. (link below). However you are also welcome to drop in and drop it off as well. If you have questions, give us a call at 541-935-8230.

On Thursday and Friday, FRMS students are welcome to bring their chromebook to school, keep it in their desks, and then there will be an opportunity between 2:00 and 3:00 for them to check it back in. However parents need to print, complete, sign, and send in with their student the “Student Device Check In Form” linked below.

If there are late assignments your child still needs to complete, please let the teacher know and they will arrange a pen/paper version of the assignment.

Thank you in advance for your help in getting the chromebooks returned.

Please bring the form at this link:  (click here)

If you are a 9^th-12^th grader using your Chromebook for summer school, you must STILL check-it in, and it will be signed right back out to you.
