Brief Message from the Assistant Principal
A Great Start to the School Year!
Greetings Foulois Middle School Students and Families!
We have had a wonderful start to the school year, and I am excited about the progress we have already made. Our first month has given us a strong foundation, and I look forward to continuing to build on it as we grow together throughout the year.
A few quick reminders for our students:
- Come to school prepared and ready to learn each day.
- Complete and turn in assignments on time, and
- Make the most of class discussions by listening, sharing ideas, and participating. Your daily effort matters and can make a big difference in your success.
Families, please take a few minutes to check your child's grades regularly in ParentVUE. The first marking period ends October 30th, so now is a great time to review grades, check for missing assignments, and encourage your child to finish the marking period strong.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. I am looking forward to all that we will accomplish together as we continue building a positive and successful school year at Foulois!
