FLMS Friday Message

September 4, 2026

Welcome Back!

What an incredible first week it has been! The beginning of the school year is always a special time—full of fresh starts, new routines, and big emotions—and this year was no exception. We’ve seen students walk in with nervous excitement and walk out each day a little more confident, connected, and ready to grow. Whether it was reconnecting with friends, meeting new teachers, exploring their schedules, or simply finding their way to the right classroom, our students showed incredible resilience and positivity. As a school community, we’re proud of the way everyone—students, staff, and families—have come together to create a warm and welcoming environment. We look forward to working with our students and families to make this a fantastic year!

Back to School Night

We invite parents to join us on Thursday September 10th from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm for our annual Back to School Night. During the event you will be able to meet your student's teachers as you follow their schedule through all seven periods.

Cross Country and Soccer Tryouts

FLMS fall sports are getting underway, and tryouts begin this week!  Tryouts for cross country and soccer both started today Friday September 4th, with a second tryout date of Tuesday September 8th. If your child did not make the first day, they can still make the team by attending the second tryout date.

Students must have a physical to participate in tryouts.  Please see the sports information page on our website for details regarding times and team requirements. 

Students who make each team will be given more detailed information including team schedules.  Go Lakers!

School Council

The school council is a representative, school building-based committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, and community members.  This group provides an opportunity for all participants to share ideas and influence decisions that shape and strengthen teaching and learning at FLMS. We are looking for 5-8 parents from the FLMS community to join this group that meets virtually every month.  If you are interested in joining please email Bryan Oliveira at boliviera@freelake.org.

FLRSD Chromebook User Agreement

At FLMS all of our students received a Chromebook on the first day of school. These devices are expected to be charged each day, and maintained in good working order throughout the year.

Agenda Website

We continue to support students and families through the use of our Agenda Website, which can be found through the popular links button on our website.  We encourage students to take responsibility of daily and weekly assignments and to use this website to stay on track with their classwork.
