Hello, Friendship Family!

Welcome to the 2022 - 2023 School Year! We are excited for everyone to join us on the journey to excellence via the "Friendship Way!" Our theme this year is:

Reflection - Refinement - Results 

September 23, 2022 is Picture Day at both Primary and Intermediate! Your child(ren) may come dressed in their uniform or in their Sunday Best. No fee  of $1 to "Dress Up". Please be aware that students might have PhyEd. class that day and will need a change of clothing or footwear to participate in class activities. Please encourage your children to bring out their best "Friendship" smile! Information on retakes will be communicated at a later date.

6-8 NWEA: Mon, Wed, and Thurs

3-5 NWEA: Tues, Wed, and Thurs

K-2 NWEA: Tues, Wed, and Thurs

Please make sure your child(ren) are well-rested and have a good, solid breakfast, especially on these days, either at home, or here at school. Test results greatly improve when mood and comfort are in their most optimal state!

Classroom Teacher Teams will use the results of testing to directly target individualized learning plans and maximize the scope and sequence of teaching and learning for all students! 

Please ask your child(ren) how they think they did on the tests! Please encourage them to celebrate their successes, great and small. Every bit more toward personal excellence is the key!

FAA is proud to be a Uniform School! This means that students dress for success as they come along the "Friendship Way" to Excellence.

Non-Negotiables:

-All-black shoes.

-Blue jeans only on "Dress Down Days" $1 to participate. Money goes to funding events and donations to local charities.

-Sweaters and sweatshirts will be plain, in Friendship colors, and without hoods (no hoodies).

-Hats/baseball caps not permitted, not even on "Dress Down" days.

-Purses and bags, to be stored in lockers.

Cell Phones for students are not allowed to be visible or in use between the hours of 10:00am and 4:15pm, the duration of the academic school day. They are encouraged to not use them during Enrichment Classes and Dismissal Clubs, as it takes away from being present, even though the academic day has not yet started. Students are encouraged to store their phones in their backpacks and lockers. We have Support Staff and Hall Monitors in each building monitoring the safety of students' belongings. However, if backpacks or lockers are left open (or combinations) are shared, students run the risk of their property being subjected to theft. Please talk with your children about proper containment of their cell phones should you allow them to bring them to school. If you need to contact your child(ren) during the school day, please contact the main office of each campus.

We are excited about continuing our commitment to the community by working hard, everyday, to create confident, competent, and creative learners, scholars, educators, and community partners! We have high expectations rooted in integrity, intention, and inspiration.

WELCOME to the 2022 - 2023
