FPS students, staff, and families,
Congratulations to students, staff, and parents on a successful start to the school year. It has been a challenging week with the extreme temperatures. I want to thank our bus drivers and maintenance staff for working through the difficult conditions for our students, you are appreciated. I also want to thank our parents and students for their patience. The beginning of a new school year always comes with some changes and challenges.
Thank you for sharing your students with us. It’s always a great day to be a Hornet!
