THE MUSK OX NEWS
March 27, 2026
Hello From The Principal's Desk!
I hope that you are getting to enjoy some of the beautiful sunshine we have had this past week ☀️ I know that I have! It looks like spring is almost here 🌸
Just a reminder that state testing will take place from April 6th to 10th here at the FPCS office 📝 Please be sure to sign up with your sponsor teacher. Remember that as part of your enrollment, you agree to participate in state testing. Your participation is crucial, even if you do not plan to use the results.
In other news, if you have a graduating senior 🎓, please note that the graduation location has changed to Bartlett High School due to construction at East High School starting earlier than expected. The date and time remain the same.
One final reminder: if you have a kindergartener that you are planning to enroll for the fall, please apply for the first lottery, which closes on March 30th 📅 If you do not apply to this first lottery, your kindergartener will not be enrolled until early August, which means you will not be able to make any purchases until then.
Keep up the great work, parents! We are almost there 💛
