This is a friendly reminder to parents that the fire lanes are no parking zones, even afterschool for sporting events and practices. We realize that parking spaces are limited, but parents are welcome to park across the street at the district office. For events after school where the parking lot is packed, Elmira Elementary School may also be an option to consider as it is only a short walk away.
For pick up after school, parents may want to avoid the rush of cars/buses and arrange to pick up their child 5 or 10 minutes afterschool is over. Your child is welcome to wait in the front area of the school and that area is supervised by staff until 3:25.
We appreciate your support as we ensure that our school is a safe place for students and staff. We will continue to work towards the long term goal of improving our parking, arrival, and dismissal procedures. Thank you.
FRMS students will have their school pictures taken on Thursday, September 21st. Information on how to purchase pictures went home during registration and will go home again next Wednesday. Parents can also order photos on line at mylifetouch.com using the Picture Day ID: LO417141Y0
Students must either bring their order forms with the exact amount in cash or check that day or pay online. Please make sure that the pose and package selected are marked on the order form. Fall pictures are also used for our yearbook. Please contact the school office if you have any questions.
Open House for FRMS will be Thursday, September 21st from 5:30 to 6:30. We will start in the gym at 5:30 with a welcome and staff introductions. Classrooms will be open for visitations afterwards until 6:30. Open House is a time to meet your child’s teachers, visit their classrooms, and learn about the middle school curriculum. If you want to have a more in-depth conversation about how your child is doing, please talk to your child’s teacher about scheduling a conference at a different time. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the 21st.
Thank you to all of our students, staff, and families for a great first two days of school. We are off to a wonderful start of what is shaping up to be an amazing year.
Just a few reminders and updates:
- FRMS opens its doors to students at 8:20. There is no supervision for students before 8:20.
- Please make sure your child knows which bus they need to take home. Bus route information can be found under the quick links on the right side of this webpage.
- If you want your child to do something different after school i.e. you are picking them up or they are going on a different bus, please call before noon. That gives us time to make sure your child gets the bus pass.
- Save the date- Open House for FRMS will be Thursday, September 21st from 5:30 to 6:30 PM
- Monday, September 11th FRMS will have an Instrument Rental/Beginning Band Night at 5:30 in the Middle School Band Room. Eugene Music will be here to provide information and will have instruments to rent. Students in beginning band will be able to try out all instruments.
