Happy Saturday Slater Families!


Our week-long celebration of "Unity Day" was a great opportunity to promote anti-bullying cross our school. Students were highly engaged and joined in our pledge in our "see something, say something" movement! Our goal is to continuously work to build a community of belonging and kindness.


Please join us for the annual ALUMNI FOOTBALL GAME today (10/19) on LaPlaca Field at 6 pm. It should be a beautiful evening for some fun football.


Families should be receiving digital invitations for our November 7th and 8th Parent-Teacher Conferences soon. We hope to send the invitation out on Monday, October 28th.


Have a great weekend!

This past week's Unity Day celebrations was an enormous success for bringing anti-bullying to the forefront of our conversations at FHU. In the same nature of Unity Day, I have shared a few documents below that we post around the school and reference throughout the year regarding overall student safety. Please feel free to review these and reach out if you have any question.
