Dear FSOA Parents/Guardians and Students, 

It’s hard to believe we just finished our second week of school! Hopefully, things you and your family are settling back into your school routines. As a reminder, we send weekly updates every Friday afternoon to families and students, in order to share important information and upcoming events.  

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. 

Best, 
Adria Moersen, Principal
