Tuesday, August 12th for all FPS students and staff.

The parking lot is looking amazing! Unfortunately, we will not be able to utilize the area for driving for the first week of school. Please plan accordingly for these changes in dropping off and picking up your children. The pick-up and drop-off zone will be along 12th Avenue, going north or south. A crossing guard and available support staff will be working to get students from that area to and from school. The main parking lot will be reserved for staff parking and for those who need to access the office during the school day. Students do not need to arrive at school before 7:30 am. Staff report at 7:30 am to begin the day. NOTE: Parking for students, parents, community, and alumni will be in the back of the school, and entry will be open at the activities entrance for Monday, August 11th, for the "Back to School Bash". Thank you for your patience and understanding as we are so excited to have our students back in the building!

The staff at FPS are preparing for the new year. We are working together to create a positive and fun place to learn and work. We can't wait to see all of our students next week! Always a great day to be a Flyer!
