Happy New Year from Guidance, we are off to a great start to

2016! FMS had a successful year thus far. We would like to
congratulate Mrs. Scott on her promotion to Executive Director
of Middle Level Education; she will finish out the school year at
FMS and take her new position this summer. We are continuing
to have Excellence, Everyday Everywhere. The Guidance
department is in the midst of completing all IGP meetings for 8th
grade students, preparing for Testing, and the transition of the
rising 6th graders to FMS as well as the rising 9th graders to SHS.
There are exciting things happening at FMS so stay tuned!
