Please Read the Note from Principal Holt:
Good morning, Fort Family and Happy Sunday! We’ve had a amazing start to our 2024-2025 school year and it could not have been possible without the support and commitment from each of you! We are definitely Better Together; we are only as great as the team we are a part of thank you for choosing our school. We welcome your partnership, because we are working towards the same goal of preparing our scholars your children to be college and career ready. Our goal is to prepare scholars to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, exhibit great characteristics and be servant leaders by leaving this world better than they found it. We are committed to our scholars and will work diligently to provide your children with an equitable and quality education; however, we need our scholars at school each and every day in order to provide them with the education they deserve. We need your partnership to make certain that your child(ren) are at school each and everyday on time. Middle school scholars are able to eat breakfast beginning at 7:00 AM. Our Elementary school scholars may begin eating breakfast at 7:15AM. Our classes begin promptly at 7:45 AM, please ensure that your child is at school and ready to learn by this time; your help is greatly appreciated. Parents if you have scholars who are missing immunization shots, please look in their backpacks for updated information on where you can take them to get the missing immunizations. If you have not received a phone call or a letter from our school, then your child has all of the required immunizations needed for this school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our office at 410-396-9161. Again, thank you and we look forward to an amazing year together.
Hello Fort Families, please note that breakfast service will start on August 27, 2024 (not on the 26th). We want to make sure everyone is ready for a fresh start on Tuesday morning with a healthy meal.
Let’s kick off this school year with great energy and enthusiasm! 💪🎉 See you tomorrow morning.
