Hi parents and families! We are so excited that Field Day is finally making a comeback this year! So many of you have offered to help in one way or another and we are continually grateful; thank you so much! On Field Day (the best day of the year) your student(s) will go around to various activity stations with their class competing in different events. It’s mostly spent outdoors so it’s important that your student(s) dress appropriately for the weather. Sneakers are recommended as a lot of stations are relay races, and/ or tag games. Sunscreen and a hat are always a great idea to prevent tears at bedtime from harsh sunburns. It’s important your student stays hydrated, so please bring a water bottle with their name on it. There are water activity stations, where students can choose whether they would like to get wet or not. A change of clothes is recommended to prevent soggy shorts and socks for the remainder of their day in school. As a reminder, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade will participate in Field Day from 9:20am- 12:20pm. 4th, 5th, and 6th grade will participate in Field Day from 1:00- 3:45pm. Have any questions? Feel free to reach out to us, Meaghn Mulcahy and Shannon Nolan at our emails: mmmulcahy@fcps.edu, spnolan@fcps.edu
Our Lost and Found is OVERFLOWING! We have coats, sweaters, shirts, lunch boxes, water bottles, shoes, jewelry, glasses, books and other miscellaneous items. Please claim these items before the last day of school. All unclaimed items will be donated to charity.
Parents and guardians of rising 7th grade students (current 6th grade students) are cordially invited to the Mark Twain Middle School Library on
Wednesday, June 1st from 9:30-10:30 AM.
The focus of this meeting will be to discuss your child’s transition to middle school as well as:
● Introduce our Administrative Team including a welcome from our
principal, Mr. Miller
● Discuss ParentVUE and how it will be an asset to you next year
● Talk about our Summer Orientation (Jump Start) and our
Pre-Back-to-School Event (Tiger Fest)
● Highlight our Student Services team and how they support your student
● Explain how you can become involved in our PTA
● Answer any questions you may have before the summer break begins
We look forward to seeing you there!
