Fletcher Middle School

Student Senators Program
Sponsored by the Fletcher Middle School PTSA

Student Council offices: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. In addition, each grade level will elect their own three representatives – one for each of our three school groups: PTSA, School Advisory Council and Student Council.

The Student Senators meetings will be on early release Wednesdays at 8:30 AM in the Cafeteria. Student Senator enrollment forms will be accepted until September 30, 2011.

For additional information, contact Sheri Nicholson at email

What is it?
The Student Senators are FMS PTSA student members who would like to get involved in PTSA and student  government activities. After all, the “S” in PTSA does stand for students.

Who is eligible?
Any student who has joined the PTSA. Please note that the school administration reserves the right to deny enrollment in the Student Senators program for students with discipline or grade issues.

What will the Student Senators do?
The group will be participating in student government elections, selecting students to serve on the PTSA and SAC and offering input into the school improvement plan and other issues. The group will also participate in school improvement projects and implement service projects for the community.  Future projects will be planned after the elections.

What do you have to do to sign up?
Bring this form home to your parents or adult guardians and ask them to read it carefully. Our official meetings will be held before the school day begins on early release Wednesdays, but some of the activities may not, so your parents will need to give you permission to stay after school, come early to school, or even come in on Saturday to participate in Student Senators. Please note that you must be an active member of this group to earn the privilege of missing class for events. You will receive advance notice of any activities during “out of school” time, but it will be your responsibility to make sure that you tell your parents ahead of time.  Student Senators will be expected to do the following:

1. Attend Student Senator meetings throughout the school year.
2. Participate in chosen community service projects. Please note that this may involve some time outside of school -- either before or after school or on weekends. Supervision during these events will be provided by volunteers either from the PTSA or by teachers volunteering their time outside of school hours. Parents are asked to pick up their children promptly at the designated time.
3. If a student is interested in joining but misses the first meeting due to an excused absence from school – he or she may still be eligible to participate. Contact Sheri Nicholson.
