Our First Coffee with the New Principal!

Please join us for the kick-off of our monthly Coffee with the Principal on the first day of school, September 6, from 8:30-9:30am. 

Since Kindergarteners don’t start school until Thursday, September 8, there will be an additional Coffee for those families on that morning. 

What's Next for Fort River?

Principal Monica Colley invites you to attend a brainstorming session on Wednesday, September 7, from 6:30-8:00pm, to begin a discussion about where we are and where we are headed at Fort River. There will be moderated small-group stations to discuss issues including communication, academics, and parent involvement. 
This event is co-sponsored by the PGO and the School Governance Council and will be a great opportunity to meet our new principal. Childcare will be available so that all families can participate.
