The first FMSD District EL staff meeting of the 2022-2023 school year was a success! Facilitated by the district EL Coordinator, Shelley Silvas, EL staff collaborated in their professional learning community to discuss data, set goals, and outline expectations for the EL program. Great things are happening in the FMSD EL Department!

ATTENTION ALL BEARCAT FANS August 18, 2022 The FMSD administration has agreed to the following changes for home football games starting this season: District administrators and their children, maintenance/transportation staff, first responders, football technical staff, concessions stand workers, yearbook sponsor, cheerleaders/sponsors, and football coaches’ wives and children will be the only persons allowed to congregate near the endzone. All other faculty and staff will have to watch the game from the stands. Those persons will be given a wristband for access one or two days prior to the ballgame, and they must be in possession of the band. They will not be allowed in the area if they do not have the band. These changes have been put in place due to safety concerns and situations in previous years.

Dr. Norwood visits the Kindgarten class of 2023! Everyone enjoyed the reading, singing, and dancing.

FMSD is adopting a district-wide instructional practice of incorporating the 12 Powerful Words in daily lessons. These are the words that are most complex when students face standardized testing. These are higher-level thinking words, and students need to be exposed to these words all year so they feel comfortable with them when they see them on a test.
