Dear Families,
Do you have a band instrument at home that is no longer being used? Our school is collecting gently used instruments to become part of the district instrument loan inventory. This allows RSU 5 to lend instruments to families in need for free.
We are looking for flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, baritones, and percussion kits. If you would like to contribute, please drop off instruments at the school office during regular hours. Your generosity will help our program grow and give students the gift of music.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Erin York
Dear parents and guardians,
We are excited to share information about the social-emotional learning curriculum that we will continue to use this school year at FMS as part of our advisory curriculum. The 7 Mindsets (BASE) is a comprehensive program designed to build a positive productive school culture and connections that support our students' well-being. BASE is an evidence-based program that is designed to improve student behavior, engagement, and academic success. We will share a parent login that will allow you to see the lessons your child is working on so you can have conversations at home to reinforce their learning. Some topics your child will be exploring: building self-esteem, managing emotions, peer pressure, goal setting, managing stress, and building social skills. We are excited to continue with this program and to share information on important teen topics with all of you.

The office or your parents may send you alerts for changes in plans.
The school day ends at 2:20. Make sure to have a "backup" plan (especially if clubs/practices/games are cancelled). All kids need to know if they are walking home, getting picked up, or riding a bus (FMS does not need to know the plan). They can have different plans on different days without letting us know, just make sure your child knows.
