🧑‍🍳🏃🔬After School PTA Clubs

Don’t miss your chance to register for an After School Club! Students who enjoy sports and staying active can still join Mr. White’s Futsal, Flag Football, or Kickball clubs, or Mrs. Zutter’s Running Buddies club. Space is limited, so register today!


📝Required Forms Available in the Parent Digital Consent System

The start of the school year comes with several important forms that need to be completed for every student. We encourage families to log in to SIS ParentVUE and the Parent Digital Consent (PDC) System (same username and password that you use for SIS ParentVue) to complete forms. Many required forms, along with several optional permissions and resources, are available online.


📚Notes from the Library

We are excited to welcome local author Marcie Atkins to our school on Friday, October 9th! Our school-wide assemblies, sponsored by Fall for the Book, will give all of our Mustangs a chance to hear Ms. Atkins share about her writing process and about her newest book, When Twilight Comes: The Animals and Plants That Bring Dawn and Dusk to Life. Families may also pre-order copies of the book to have signed during her visit. Book orders must be placed by September 30, and books will be delivered directly to Mosaic and labeled with your student’s name. Please direct all questions to our librarian, Mrs. Heather Brown, at hbrown@fcps.edu.
