FPDS Strategic Planning Coffee & Presentation
We invite all parents to join us for a special presentation on Tuesday morning, Nov 18 to hear about FPDS' strategic planning process. We will be joined by representatives from Canaan Group and Associates, who have partnered with FPDS in this important project. This is a great opportunity to listen, offer feedback, and see how your voice is helping guide our vision. We hope to see you there!

Student Handbook Revision
Please make note of the following addition that has been made to the 25/26 Student Handbook:
Attendance & Eligibility for Extracurricular Activities
Students need to be at school for the full day in order to take part in any sports games, practices, rehearsals, or other extracurricular activities that day. If a student misses part of the day for an approved reason—such as a doctor’s appointment or family emergency—and the absence is cleared by the principal, they may still be allowed to participate.
Being present at school shows commitment to both learning and the team or group. We appreciate your help in making sure students prioritize their school day before after-school activities.
Flat Rate Company Enrollment Option
Flat rate billing for the spring semester at Company is now available! You can find the enrollment form on the After School Care page of our website. Parents must complete and submit the form to participate. Please read all the details on the website carefully before the deadline!
Chapel Chat
This week, we studied The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21–35), reminding us of God’s forgiveness and our call to forgive others.
Talk about at home:
What did the king do when the servant begged for mercy?
How does God’s forgiveness affect how we forgive others?
How can our forgiveness reflect our Christian witness?
Prayer: Ask God to help us be forgiving, just as He has forgiven us in Christ.
