 Mrs. Campbell's 3rd grade class identified an issue with our field, created a plan to fix it, and began their repair. This responsible class determined that the “pond” or “puddle” on the top of the field was a safety hazard for students as well as a potential mosquito hatching area. To fix it, they planned to:
- Drain it
- Dig out existing soil that isn’t draining
- Replace the soil with a mixture that they identified during their soil PBL as being the most fertile
- Grow grass on top
Kudos to our environmental engineers! Thank you for keeping our school grounds safe.
Please visit our Lost & Found before the last day of school! All items not claimed will be donated.

Band/Strings Enrollment for 2024-2025
We are actively planning for an amazing 2024-2025 school year. A key part of that planning involves our music program in grades 4-6. At this time, we are seeking intentions for which music program your child will enroll in next school year.
Please take a few minutes to complete the appropriate grade-level form below to help us plan effectively. We need to hear from everyone as to whether your rising 4th, 5th or 6th grade child will participate in band, strings, or neither (which means they will take general music). Additional information on the programs is below. Please complete the form one time for each child who will be in grades 4 -6 next year by Friday, June 7, 2024.
Students in grades 4-6 have the opportunity to enroll in strings (grades 4-6) or band (grades 5-6). Band and strings instruction will occur once a week during the specials block again this year. Students who do not enroll in band or strings will participate in the general music program.
Below is information about our Band and Strings programs:
- Band Teachers – Ms. Cockey and Ms. Holscher
- Strings Teachers – Ms. Frank and Ms. Skeen
Please complete student sign-up form by Friday, June 7, 2024:
Rising 6th grade form
Rising 5th grade form
Rising 4th grade form
Please email Keith Eck, kaeck@fcps.edu if you have any questions.
