Black History Month is a time to honor the significant contributions of African Americans who have shaped our history. We are proud that many of our schools are named for trailblazers whose achievements in education, civil rights, the arts, and other fields continue to inspire future generations. Each school stands as a testament to the work, sacrifice, and resilience of these remarkable visionaries.

Good morning 6th Grade.
I regret to inform you that Mr. Stoelting has officially resigned from City Schools. Mr. Stoelting is a talented mathematician, and he will be missed at FSK.
We are currently seeking a new math teacher for 6th grade. In the interim, Ms. Miller will continue in as long-term substitute. Ms. Miller will be supported by Ms. Bloor, and Ms. Ross will provide support in our honors classes.
Please reach out to Ms. Bloor with any questions you may have regarding math instruction during this transition.
Enjoy your weekend.
Good Morning FSK!
Here is the first district update on the construction at FSK!
Please reach out with any questions you have. Have a great weekend, on purpose!
Good morning FSK!
Happy 1st Day 2.0! We are so excited to see our kiddos back in classrooms this morning. I know today is going to be full of questions and hiccups, and that’s okay, we will push through and make this experience a great one for our students and staff!
I will be hosting a virtual parent meeting tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 pm for anyone who has questions or concerns. I will send a link this afternoon.
Thank you to Ms. Zakrjewski, Talley Kovacs, Ashley Bessicks and all the staff and parent volunteers assisting with bus support this week! We also received word that the Sheriff’s office will be onsite at FSK today and tomorrow morning to support the influx of traffic.
Thank you to our PTO for your never-ending advocacy and support.
Please be mindful of parking at both FSK and the TM Campus. We cannot have anyone parking in the bus loops at all. We need the loops for all the buses.
We are also requesting that all early dismissals be done before 3PM while we’re on the TM Campus.
We are aware that the buses from Pigtown were late with picking up students this morning, so we are behind schedule…and that’s okay. We will get through and we will have an amazing day. On purpose!

--Auditorium
--Cafeteria
--Health suite
--Your student's grade-level floor

If you are bringing supplies/donations, they will be placed outside the teacher's classroom. As they will be both providing instructional support for online learning and prepping their classrooms, teachers will not be available to discuss student issues/concerns during this time.
