Message from PSSC (Parent School Support Committee) chair Emily McGill -The PSSC members are parents/guardians, FES Principal, Vice Principal and a Teacher representative and a member of the District Education Council (DEC).  Together, we work on the school improvement plan, share ideas to improve the school community and discuss issues that affect the entire student population.  We are looking for new members!
