PARENT INFORMATION

1. PRIDE IN AMERICA DAY – Please plan ahead. The FMS parking lot will be closed in the morning of Friday, 5/22 for Pride in America Day activities. There will be no cars allowed to park in the parking lot that morning. There will be one loop in and out of the gate to drop off students. If you can drop your son/daughter off before the stop sign at 1st and A streets and have them walk in to school, this will ease congestion into the school. Thank you for your support.
2. 8TH GRADE PARENTS - THE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT needs your support and encourages you to join the FHS Athletic Booster Club. This group supports athletics for all of the athletic teams featured at the high school. Without an active and support driven Booster Club, we cannot improve, introduce, or even maintain existing athletic programs offered at Fillmore High School. Please consider serving as a Booster Club board member for the 2009/2010 term. An election to select next year’s board will be held TONIGHT at 6:30 p.m. at Fillmore High School Hall of Fame, located in the Science Building. Should you have questions or concerns, please contact Lynn in the Student Store at 524-8491.
