Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year at Fred Fifer III Middle School.  The same high expectations for student learning, behavior, and citizenship will continue.  We will emphasize hard work and determination.  During this past summer, teachers attended professional development classes and have been refining their skills to even better meet the needs of every student under RTTT and NCLB.  We warmly invite all of you to join us in our endeavors to increase student achievement in whatever way you can. We know that with you as our active partners: students at Fred Fifer III Middle School will emerge as winners! 

Our mission is clear and vital: Our school is committed to promoting, enhancing and sustaining students’ academic achievement in a safe learning environment and to assist our community of learners in developing the skills to become responsible, good citizens.

Together we have “high expectations for students’ learning, a determination to be successful, and plans for many celebrations to acknowledge our accomplishments so every child is a winner!”

Our school exemplifies the positive results that occur when staff, parents, students, and the community work together. Teaching, learning, changing, improving--we each do all we can. We focus on the positive and work with integrity. We believe that communication between home and school is vital to our success.

Copies of the 2012-2013 handbooks will be given to each student on the first day of school and a copy of the handbook is also provided online to clarify the Districts’ and school’s policies and procedures to you, as you acquaint yourself with the school.  Please keep this handbook in a safe place so that you may refer to it throughout the year.
