March 2026 Event Updates
Upcoming 5th Grade Specific Need-to-Knows
Hello 5th Grade Families!
This year, I will share out a monthly flyer specifically for 5th grade families that will be focused on 5th grade events and to-dos. This final year of elementary school can often be a whirlwind of events and activities - our goal is to send one of these informational newsletters out each month with your need-to-knows!
Note: this does NOT take the place of the FUEL weekly newsletter. Your school-wide events, dates, etc. will still all only be in that newsletter. The regular newsletter will also contain 5th grade events as well, but this will hopefully help to streamline the information for you in this final semester.
This will also include a monthly newsletter from the FMS staff with this newsletter that will contain all of your need-to-knows for the big transitions coming in the spring.
If you have any feedback, please feel free to send it my way via Rooms or email: katharine.jeffrey@ferndaleschools.org
