FRMS is starting the forecasting process for current Sixth and Seventh Grade students. Students only have to choose which class they would like for their one electiveclass. They can choose a year long class or two semester classes.
Below is a link to the forecasting forms and elective courses. They will also be included in the packets on 5/11. The third page is the forecasting form. Students can drop the form off at the school, mail them back to the school, or send a picture or scan of the form to frmsoffc@fernridge.k12.or.us Forms can also be picked by FRMS staff as part of our Monday Packet Curbside service.
Since students may not get their first choice, please make sure they also include their second and third choices as well. Forecasting forms must be returned by May 22nd.
Questions or concerns please contact the FRMS Office.
UPDATED MEAL ROUTES: Route 13, beginning tomorrow May 6th, will drop the Fleck stop and add a stop at the Department of Forestry Parking lot. CLICK HERE for the updated meal bus route schedule.
PACKET PICK-UP AND DELIVERY: This continues every Monday. Yesterday we were able to pick up over 40 packets, and deliver around 20. If you would like to try out having your distance learning packet delivered, please communicate with your child’s teacher or school. The route and stop times can be viewed by CLICKING HERE.
Hello, incoming EHS families! I wanted to send a quick note about the music program at the high school, particularly for those who are not currently enrolled in music but may be interested in joining at the high school level.
We have three music classes at EHS. We have band and choir, and we will have either an advanced band or an advanced choir, depending on projected enrollment for each. Band is available only to students with previous experience on a band instrument (most likely current band students), but choir is open to everyone! Many students enter choir in 9th grade with no previous experience. If you like to sing, I encourage you to give it a try. It is a really low-pressure way to ease into music ensembles, and I never force students to sing alone if they don’t want to.
Music classes are a wonderful thing to have in your schedule in high school. Not only will you get the enjoyment of music in your day, but you’ll get to be part of a social group that supports each other and has a lot of fun together.
Please note that while the sample schedules for 9th grade look busy, there is plenty of room for music. Students can postpone PE until the following year, as well as foreign languages and other electives. Assuming that students will be passing their classes throughout high school, they will have ample open space in their schedules as juniors and seniors, so there will be room to take anything that was postponed.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I hope to see you in the fall.
