GRATITUDE
Thank you to our Principal, Ms. Kasner, for going above and beyond in open communication on our school reopening status. She will continue to share updates with us all.
We are very thankful to all our FSK staff and educators for working quickly and tirelessly to get our classrooms reconfigured and ready for in-person learning per all the district and DPH guidelines. Even though on-site learning has been delayed (our school site will NOT re-open to the first cohort of our students on February 8th, as originally planned), we are very grateful that our educators & staff took the extra time, on top of distance learning, to prepare our school site. THANK YOU ~ WE APPRECIATE YOU!!!
Questions? Feel free to email our PTA Board anytime.
Hope you all have a restful weekend.
We’re in this together, FSK!
