The FWSU Board of Directors recently approved a new Action Plan for 2012-2015. This document also is considered our Technology Plan as well. Here are some of the highlights.
Student-Centered Learning: FWSU students will engage in personalized learning involving collaborative inquiry, problem solving and creative learning opportunities
Leadership in a Student-Centered Learning Environment: FWSU will foster the development of teacher and student leaders who provide innovative opportunities for local and global student-centered learning.
Flexible Learning Environments: FWSU will maximize flexible learning environments by redefining the school day, promoting learning experiences that extend beyond the school classroom, and fostering creativity, innovation, and differentiated learning opportunities for all.
Engaged Community Partners: FWSU staff and students will collaborate, innovate, create and conceptualize ideas and learning with local, regional, state, and global partners to make a difference in their community, state, and world.
The GEMS students and staff participated in an evacuation drill on June 1. The Safety Committee will be meeting on Monday to discuss the drill.
We would like to thank the students for being quiet, calm and attentive. We would also like to thank families for discussing the drill with their students so that it went as smoothly as possible.
During preschool screening, you will recieve information about the FWSU Act 62 Application Procedure. This Act goes into detail about the option for parents to request that an eligible 4 year-old be granted permission to attend a qualified preschool instead of the district preschool program for up to 10 hours each week for the district of residence school calendar. If you would like more information prior to attending preschool screening, click here.

Would you like to do something special for your student's teacher(s)? Starting to think about Teacher Appreciation coming up in May?

Students in these grades are very physically active so we ask that ALL students have a current copy of the sports clearance form from their doctor. These forms are kept on file for physical education classes, field trips and extra curricular sports.
