IMPORTANT 26/27 CARPOOL NUMBER ANNOUNCEMENT:
Current FPDS families will keep their existing carpool numbers for 2026-2027 school year. Please make sure to hold on to your current carpool number for continued use next year. If lost, a replacement tag will be made at an additional cost.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES & SUMMER READING:
As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, we’re sharing updates on school supplies and summer reading. Based on parent feedback, we will not be using EPI supply kits this year. Instead, grade-level supply lists (Grades 1–6) are available through Teacher Lists, giving families flexible, one-stop shopping options across multiple vendors with items shipped directly to you.
You can access lists under the School Supplies tab on the Parent Resources page of the FPDS website. We recommend waiting for the Walmart option for the most cost-effective pricing.
Early Childhood–Kindergarten students will have a $75 supply fee, charged to FACTS on July 5; all supplies will be provided and ready in the classroom.
Summer reading lists are also available on the Parent Resources page under Summer Reading.
REQUIRED FAMILY UPDATE:
In July, we will send a required Family Update form to all returning families. It is very important that this form is completed so we can ensure our records are accurate and up to date for your family. We appreciate your help in completing it promptly when it is sent out.
FPDS SWAP SHOP:
Do you have a graduating 6th grader? Do you have a closet of used and outgrown uniforms you would like to donate to FPDS?
There will be a box to drop off gently used uniforms in the Lost and Found area (located near the gym) starting Monday, May 4. This is an opportunity to share, recycle, and help other FPDS families. This collection box is for donation only. If you want credit for your gently used uniforms, credit will be offered for clothes collected in August. The next Swap Shop is tentatively scheduled for Meet Your Teacher Day on August 7.
