Students who made the gold star list received their invitations/permission slip for the pool party today. Permission slips must be signed and returned to the office no later than 9:00 AM on Friday. Permission must be granted in writing- we will not accept verbal permission due to liability issues.
Parents should also be aware that students can still be taken off the list for behavioral issues that arise between now and when the bus departs on Friday. It is expected to be around 80 degrees on Friday, so please make sure students bring sunscreen and towels. We will be eating lunch at the school before leaving for the pool.
Parents who want to help chaperone need to be on the approved list and contact Ms. Johnson. Students will be returning to school after the pool trip for seventh period. If you are picking your child up from the pool, please send a note or call the office before 9:00 AM on Friday. No child will be allowed to walk home or go home with someone other than their parent without a note/phone call to the FRMS office.
Congratulations to all of our 6th and 7th grade Gold Star Students for their hard work and great effort this quarter.
