A Message from Our Superintendent

Dear FPS Community:

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. I sincerely hope that you had a safe, restful and fun-filled summer. We are delighted to welcome students in grades 1-12 on Tuesday, August 27, Kindergarteners on Tuesday, September 3, and Hewins Early Learning Center students on Thursday, September 5.

Staff have been working hard to prepare for the school year, setting up classrooms, learning about new curriculums and learning strategies, and connecting with families as integral supports in students’ success. I look forward to seeing many of you at Back-to-School events over the upcoming week and connecting with your students as they arrive at school ready to learn!

Please know that we see families, students and educators as important partners in the learning experience. We know that you know your child best, can speak to their strengths and unique attributes, and are an important advocate for their success. Please feel free to reach out to school staff if there are unique ways that we can support your child. We look forward to working with you to ensure an awesome school year.

Happy New Year!

Dr. Lance Goodpaster
