PARENT INFORMATION
1. FMS invites parents to use a computer in the front office that is dedicated to parents for using Parent Connect to check your student’s assignments and grades.
2. TDAP IMMUNIZATION – For the 2012-13 school year ALL students entering 7th grade will need proof of a whooping cough booster shot (TDAP) before starting school. By law, students who do not have proof of a TDAP booster shot will not be able to start school until proof is provided to the school. So, make an appointment with your child’s doctor now and avoid the back-to-school rush. Save your proof of TDAP immunization and bring or FAX into the middle school a copy of this documentation. Our FAX number is 524-6063.
