Summer Reading Lists 2018
Summertime! It’s the perfect time to find a hammock (or a grassy backyard, or a cozy front porch . . . you get the idea) and immerse yourself in a good book.
Whether you are an incoming 5th grader, soon-to-be senior, or an adult bibliophile, we hope you will find something special on this list. There are graphic novels, mysteries, adventure stories and so much more!
Check out the 2018 Summer Reading Lists from FHPS Media

Bus Route Information
The transportation department is excited to launch a new electronic system to communicate bus stop information. Bus stop information will no longer be mailed to families. Beginning this school year, the transportation department will communicate bus stop information using the new Versatrans e-Link system. This secure link allows parents/guardians to view essential school bus information such as where their children should wait for the bus, what time the bus should arrive and other pick up and drop off information.
Parent Portal Information
Parent/guardians can access PowerSchool, our computerized student records database, through the Parent Portal. For our kindergarten through sixth-grade families, Parent Portal allows you to view contact information, important school information, and school news bulletins. Parent Portal also contains a link to our communication system called SchoolMessenger.
More information about Parent Portal and how to login properly, is also available.
