A Word from the Principal, Mr. Wright
Dear Fitzgerald Community,
We are moving forward and growing as a team every day. Thank you for your continued partnership as we begin the school year.
We are currently conducting beginning-of-the-year assessments. Over the next two to three weeks, your child’s teacher will reach out to share your child’s current learning levels and our plan to support their growth.
Please join us for Back-to-School Night on October 1, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. We’re offering two classroom sessions so families with children in multiple grades can meet more than one teacher.
- 5:30–6:00 p.m. — Session 1: Grade-level and classroom information from teachers
- 6:00–6:45 p.m. — One School, One Book: A family activity to support reading at home
- 6:45–7:00 p.m. — Transition
- 7:00–7:30 p.m. — Session 2: Grade-level and classroom information from teachers
Come ready to learn about our One School, One Book initiative and leave with a book your family can enjoy reading together.
The Book Fair will be open throughout the evening. We’ll open the building at 5:00 p.m. for families who would like to arrive early and shop.
We look forward to seeing you!
Warmly,
George Wright, Principal
Fannie W. Fitzgerald Elementary School

Sign your Student In and Out using ParentVUE📱
Our school will now use KioskVUE, a self service Sign-in and Sign-out system, for students who arrive late and those who get picked up early. You will need to make sure you have the ParentVUE (new) app downloaded on your phone and have your Back-to-School packet completed in order to have access to your account. This will help improve attendance accuracy and safety measures for all students. View the video below to see how quick and easy this new feature works!
