Principal's Report

This week we have testing on Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday, we will be focusing as a school on Math and Thursday, our 6th grade will be taking the SCREADY Science Test.  A good night's sleep and a stress free morning will help prepare them to do their best.  

Please continue to scroll through the weekly update.  There is information about Summer Reading, 8th Grade Recognition, Dance Team try-outs, and dates to place in your calendar for the summer and the beginning of next school year.  

Have a wonderful week!

What to know about  your students’ PAY FEES outstanding balances:

 

All lunch accounts carry over from year to year, school to school.  However for students that are leaving the district, or graduating, parents might want refunds or balance transfers for their students.  You can do this via the Student Nutrition Department website.  You will also find this info via the school district website, Departments, then student nutrition. 

 

This link gives you the option  to request a lunch account balance refund, a transfer,  or to donate to our Angel Fund account.  All refunds come in the form of a check that is mailed to the address that parents indicate when they complete the google doc form via the link. 

 

If your child has a credit balance, that too will carry over into the next school year.  If you child owes money, that debt mays into the next school year as well.

 

Note that free and reduced lunch applications are published online as we get closer to school opening next year.  You MUST complete one every year to apply for this benefit.  Your benefits don’t carry over.

 

Please contact Jane Hall if you have any questions at hallj@fortmillschools.org.
