Back to School Night

Our FMS families had the opportunity to attend class with their students yesterday for Back to School Night. They started with Club Academy and ended with the 6th period. They experienced our bell system and hurried to their next class during the 5-minute passing period, just like their students do on a regular school day! Once inside class, teachers presented to families the 4 questions that we are working on as a school community: What does the teacher want the students to know and be able to do? How does the teacher and student know if they learned it? How does the teacher respond if the student hasn't learned it? How does the teacher respond if the student has already mastered it?

We thank our FMS families for coming "back" to school to learn about this topic and we look forward to the great year that we will have!

School Resource Officer Bike Donation

The Fillmore Middle School administration team nominated incoming 7th grade student, Ernesto Martinez, as recipient of a new bike donation from the Fillmore Sheriff's Department. Ernesto was nominated due to the social and academic growth that he exhibited throughout his 6th grade year at our middle school. Deputy Yolanda Avila presented Ernesto with the bike and had the following to say: “At times some students have a challenging time due to various factors. It is our responsibility and duty to work with students who have struggles and guide them through these rough patches. With support, compassion and empathy, students are able to understand that this is a safe space in which they are an individual for whom people care. Ernesto Martinez was such an individual. With the support and understanding he experienced this year, Ernesto thrived and rose the challenge. Ernesto continues to do well academically and has made great strides in all other aspects of the challenges of middle school. Ernesto continues to persevere, and we are proud to see his personal growth and success this school year.”
