As we approach Thanksgiving break in the next couple of weeks, I want to take a moment to express how grateful we are for our students and families. Each day at FCMS brings new opportunities to support student growth, and we’re proud of the positive momentum we’re seeing throughout our school.
With the implementation of MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) and PBIS (Positive Behavior Incentive System), we have reduced our disciplinary referrals by more than 200 compared to last year. This progress reflects the combined efforts of our staff, students, and families—and we thank you for your continued partnership.
Our PBIS incentive program has also been a highlight, with our recent trip to the Richmond Bowl serving as a fun and meaningful celebration for students demonstrating positive behavior. Building on these successes, we’re seeing a noticeable improvement in school culture and student engagement.
We know that the middle school years can be some of the most challenging for students. With the ongoing support of parents and guardians, we will continue to make decisions that place students’ well-being and growth at the center of our work.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We appreciate your support and hope you have a safe and restful Thanksgiving break.
