The FSHS Flight of Honor Benefit Breakfast is this Saturday!
The Honor Flight is an all-volunteer organization that works to honor Kansas veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War by providing them with an ALL EXPENSES PAID JOURNEY of honor and remembrance to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C.
The organization also works to educate the youth and communities throughout Kansas about the impact of these historic wars and the freedoms our nation enjoys because of the service of our veterans.

Welcome back to the 25-26 school year. We are excited to have our students and staff back for their first full week of school. We are off to a great start and look forward to supporting each child's education throughout the year.
Please be aware that students in Kindergarten through 9th grade will be taking the i-Ready Diagnostic for reading and math in the coming weeks. This assessment is designed to help us understand your child's current strengths and areas of growth, plan for instruction, and monitor progress throughout the year. It is an online adaptive assessment which means it gets easier or harder depending on how a student performs. Customized lessons will also be generated following the completion of the diagnostic. We encourage students to do their best as this helps plan and support your child's academic success.
Also, results from the fall diagnostic will be sent home with students once they are complete. The results will show your child's placement level, national norm percentile, and performance in specific categories. Ultimately, this information provides meaningful feedback to our staff to help and support all students. Please feel free to contact your child's teachers, building principals, or the district office for any questions you may have.
