Meet Our New School Based Technology Specialsit (SBTS)

My name is Stephanie and I’m excited to join Fox Mill ES as the instructional technology specialist! Prior to coming to Fox Mill, I worked at Forest Edge ES for two years, and before that I was a middle school drama and creative writing teacher at Franklin Middle School. I love working with children and helping them find a channel for their creativity, whether on the stage, or with technology. In my free time, I love spending time with my family and my 3 dogs.

P2: Teamwork/Citizenship

Teamwork is the ability and willingness to place overall group success as a higher priority than individual achievement.  Citizenship is a willingness to work towards the common good as opposed to one's own self-interest.  Those who demonstrate strengths in teamwork and citizenship often work to help all group members find success.  These individuals are willing to commit time and resources in order to further group goals and help toward the greater good.

Individuals with this strength might be described as:

Loyal     Dedicated     Collaborative     Reliable     Cooperative     Inclusive

Diversity and Inclusivity Committee Meeting

The Diversity and Inclusivity Committee is having it's International Jubilee kickoff meeting on Wednesday 9/26 at 7:00 PM at FMES in the music room.  We will be discussing the feedback from last year's event, exciting developments for this year's November 9th Jubilee event, and beginning the ramp up plan for the event itself. If you can't make the Wednesday evening event, we will be discussing the same topics on Friday, 9/28 at 9:00 AM in the FMES cafeteria.  Can't make either event? You can send comments/suggestions to Allie Greene (greene.allie@yahoo.com), Lavanya Ravulapalli (lavanya.ravulapalli@gmail.com) or Amy Fujii (wooster92@yahoo.com).  

Important Documents

MISSING EMERGENCY CARE FORMS

 

Our student’s safety and well-being is our primary concern, and having updated and accurate information to contact you in case of emergency is of the utmost importance.  Reminder letters were recently sent home with reprints, if we have not received your signed, updated Emergency Care form.  If you received a reprint, please review it, mark any necessary changes, sign and return with your student as soon as possible.  If you have made changes by logging onto ‘WeCare’ via your Blackboard Learning 24/7 account (https://www.fcps.edu/note/30943), simply write ‘changed ONLINE’ on the reprint and return it.  If you made changes on WeCare, you should’ve received a receipt of approval once the changes were made.  If you didn’t receive a receipt, that means we never received your intended updates. 

 

MISSING STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES SIGNATURE SHEET

 

The Student’s Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) booklets were sent home during the 2nd week of school and all classes have received lessons in order to confirm their understanding of expected behavior at school.  If we have not received your Parent/Guardian Signature Sheet, a duplicate went home earlier this week.  Please take a moment to sign the Signature sheet and return it to school as soon as possible. 

 

We appreciate your help in making Fox Mill a safe and respectful learning environment for all our students and staff.
