BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHTS- SAVE THE DATES!
Families of Kindergarten and Kossmann Students: The bus safety orientation has been moved to Wednesday, August 28th at 8:30 AM in the Kossmann multi-purpose room. We look forward to meeting you!
Good Afternoon FKS Family!
I wanted to send a quick message to introduce myself and let you know I have officially started in my role as FKS Principal. I was hoping to open my door to meet families and staff but unfortunately until construction is complete and it is safe, we will have to wait. Keep your eyes out for communication from us over the next few weeks as we gear up and prepare for opening day for students on August 29th. My goal is to quickly gain your trust and showcase all the wonderful things our FKS staff do, and have in store for our students this year. I look forward to partnering with you and having a rewarding school year.
Sincerely,
Chris Marangon Ed.D.

The projects of Summer 2024 are underway at FKS. We're getting new roofs! The offices will be open during these projects.
On Wednesday, we re-opened the Flocktown kickball field after it was renovated by FKS alum Liam Rafter for his Eagle Scout project. He even donated a brand new, official kickball! The project was months in the making coordinating with the town, school district, and baseball league followed by tens of hours of manual labor on the fence and the field. His goal of wanting this 5th grade class, which includes his sister, to be able to play on the field before the end of the school year was achieved. Thank you Liam for all of your hard work to bring this field back to life! We are so impressed by your efforts and so proud of you!
Many thanks to our students, their families, our faculty, and staff for another rewarding and memorable school year! Wishing you all a summer of peace, enjoyment, and adventure.
On the last day of school, we clapped out our 5th graders before they boarded the FKS buses for the last time. They started with one last walk through Kossmann and returned to Flocktown to be clapped out by third grade, fourth grade, and our faculty and staff. Such a bittersweet day. We are sad to see them go, but so excited for them as they continue their journey onto LVMS. Best wishes to our 5th graders and their families!

Many thanks to the PTA and Carnival Committee for the perfect ending to a busy few weeks and the school year at the FKS PTA Spring Carnival.

Our 5th graders spent most of the day at LVMS with their future 6th grade classmates from BAC and OFRS for a picnic and fun. Many thanks to our 5th grade team of teachers for coordinating this event with their 5th grade colleagues. Thank you Mr. Ippolito and Mr. Mirabella for hosting the LVMS Class of 2027!
Today we celebrated the learning and growth of our preschoolers! Thank you Mrs. Albeck and the Pre-K team for the sweet and simple ceremonies at these events for their families. We'll see some of them in kindergarten in the fall!
Thank you to Mrs. Daily and the PTA for the popcorn at lunches this week. The popcorn was a treat to get students excited for the Spring Carnival on Friday. We can't wait!
