STUDENT INFORMATION

1. HOLIDAY RALLY TODAY - The colors of our holiday spirit rally are: 6th graders red, 7th graders black, 8th graders white and staff green. The grade level with the most holiday spirit color earns 500 points towards the rally tally points. All students who have signed up for the games must wear their grade color in order to participate.
2. SCHOOL RULES – Engaging in harassment, threats or intimidation against students or school personnel will result in a 1-3 day suspension.
3. LIBRARY MESSAGE – Library books will be due on Tuesday, January 6th when we return from winter break. Remember to put your library books in your backpack and return them on that day. WE HAVE 575 BOOKS THAT ARE OVERDUE! OK students, can we talk? Your ability to borrow books from your library is truly a privilege. When you are in possession of an FMS library book, your greatest responsibility is to treat it with care and respect and return it in a timely manner so that every student may have the opportunity to enjoy the same book you have borrowed. Look between your mattress, in the bottom of your closet and in your little brother’s toy box and find all those books and bring them back! We have a printout in the library of all the overdue books. Come and see if your name is on the list. And remember, reading holds the key to your future!
