Hello Families,
We hope you have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend! There is no school on Monday, May 25, so there are no live teacher sessions. We look forward to seeing students back in their sessions on Tuesday, May 26.
Please see below for some important end-of-year information.
We look forward to seeing you online for our PTA meeting next Wednesday, May 27 at 7:15pm. Please join using this link: https://fusionacademy.zoom.us/my/ashore meeting ID 716-916-6652, or call into (646) 876-9923, meeting ID 716-916-6652.

As noted in our eNotify message, we have scheduled the pick-up of student belongings as a drive thru event according to last name. (Families with members with more than one last name only need to come once.) The pick-up dates are Wednesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 28. On these dates, you may also drop off library books and FCPS-owned instruments (if you wish). If you are not able to come on these dates, we will have another pick-up opportunity at the end of the year. (Please note--if your student had a school-owned instrument that was left at school, it has already been collected. Student- owned instruments will be available for pick up next week.) Laptops may be kept through the summer.)
