Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the Fletcher Middle School Web site. This web site will provide you with valuable information regarding the Fletcher Middle School academic and extracurricular programs.
Our school theme is “Surfing the Wave of Success” because we realize academic success doesn’t happen by chance. Our focus this year is “Surfing the Wave of Success” because maximizing student potential requires a combined effort among the staff, parents, students and community.
Fletcher Middle School is dedicated to providing a quality, standards-based education for all of our students. Our content area teachers are implementing collaborative nine week units with an emphasis on core components and “essential questions.”
By reviewing students’ FCAT scores, we have learned that the majority of our students need improvement in reading comprehension and number sense. The school will be implementing strategies and activities across the curriculum to boost every student’s ability in these areas. We are asking parents and guardians to assist us by encouraging reading at home and helping students practice math skills.
A misconception exists that as students enter middle school parental involvement and volunteer time aren’t needed. Nothing could be further from the truth! The middle school years are a time of tremendous change for students and parental support and input are critical. Many volunteer opportunities are available and we welcome your time and interest If you are available to volunteer, please contact the main office at 247-5929.
We are proud of our school and appreciate your input and ongoing support.
Sincerely,
Don Nelson, Principal
