2025 Welcome from Mrs. White

Hello, FHMS Families!  I hope you had a great summer, and are ready for school to begin. We have been working to make sure we will have a fantastic year, and cannot wait to get started!

The middle school office has moved to the high school, in the office beside the high school office.  Please enter through the high school door when picking up or dropping off students. Middle School students will still enter and exit through the middle school doors when arriving at school and/or leaving for the day.

We have a change to our school day this year.  We will still have WIN, but have replaced Flex with “Academic Electives”.  These will include Reader’s Workshop and Writer’s Workshop for grades 6 & 7. Eighth grade will have STEM, as well as Math and Social Studies electives which have yet to be determined. I am confident that these classes will provide additional instruction in core curriculum areas, resulting in increased student achievement. 

I am happy to inform you that we will be providing basic school supplies for all middle school students this year.  A special thank you to the Athens-Meigs ESC and Kids on Campus for their assistance in making this possible.

Once again this year we have qualified for breakfast and lunch at no charge for all students.  I checked with our treasurer, who informed me we are good for the next three years.

Included in the letter you will soon receive, you will find the beginning of the year paperwork.  Please complete the Emergency Med Form, Computer Usage Form, 2025/2026 Field Trip Permission Form, and Lancer Care Clinic Form and return them  to school with your student on the first day of school. The following documents will also be enclosed for your information and convenience: Daily Bell Schedule, and 7th grade Immunization Requirements Sheet.

Feel free to contact us with any questions. We are happy to assist you in any way.  You may reach the Middle School at (740) 662-5079. Welcome to a great school year.
