Thumbs Up for a Great First Week
~Welcome Back to the 2018/19 School Year~

Students and staff were all smiles after an exciting first week back to school.
Besides the record heat, students were happy to get back to school to share their summer adventures,
greet old and new friends, and learn about their new teachers!
The excitement level was high and students expressed having a great 1st week as they prepared
to board the buses at the end of a very busy week!

FW Families - Thank you for your patience as we iron out the kinks in the bus routes.  Each day this
week our bus times have improved, so we look forward to a quicker, smoother pick-up and dismissal process in the weeks ahead.
