Good Afternoon Fairmont Middle School Families,

Great news! 📋 Your student brought home their preliminary EOG scores today. Take a moment to review the letters together—they include what proficiency looks like and how your student performed. These conversations matter! 💬

If you haven't already, please return the signed permission letter so your student can retake any assessments where they weren't quite proficient yet. 📝

Starting tomorrow, Thursday, June 4th, we're giving students a chance to show what they've learned! ✨ Testing begins bright and early, so please have your student here on time so we can get started promptly. This is their opportunity to reach proficiency! 🎯

What an incredible celebration of creativity, imagination, and talent!

The 2025–2026 Fairmont Middle School Art Exhibition, “Gallery of the Growing Minds,” was a tremendous success. We are proud of our student artists who showcased their unique perspectives, creativity, and artistic growth through a diverse collection of outstanding artworks.

This exhibition highlighted not only artistic skills but also the power of creativity, critical thinking, innovation, and self-expression. Every piece displayed reflected the hard work, dedication, and imagination of our students.

A heartfelt thank you to parents, families, community members, school administrators, and staff for supporting arts education and helping make this event memorable. Your encouragement inspires our students to continue dreaming, creating, and growing.

Congratulations to all of our young artists for sharing their talents and reminding us that creativity is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the future.

Today’s artists are tomorrow’s innovators, designers, architects, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

Thank you for being part of our journey and celebrating the extraordinary potential of our growing minds!

Good Afternoon FMS Parents & Guardians,
A letter regarding EOG assessment retake opportunities was sent home with students on Friday. If your student was not proficient on their initial assessment, they have the option to retake it but the letter must be returned to the school. Please sign and return the letter by Wednesday, June 3, 2026. If you did not receive the letter or have questions, contact the front office at (910)628-4363. Additional copies are available in the front office at FMS.

Next week, testing continues for 5th and 8th grade science as well as 8th grade NC Math 1.
Following the testing period, students who did not pass their EOG tests will have the opportunity to participate in remediation and retesting. Regular attendance during this time is essential for students to achieve success.

A letter detailing the retesting process is being sent home with students today. To allow your student to participate in retesting, please complete the form by providing your student's full name and grade level, checking the box to authorize participation, and printing & signing your name. Please return completed forms promptly so your student can be included in the retesting schedule.

Good Afternoon Fairmont Middle School Families.

Thank you for your continued support as we move through our end-of-grade assessment period.

All fifth through eighth grade students will take their Reading EOG tomorrow, Friday, May 29, 2026, followed by the Science EOG on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, for fifth and eighth grade students only.

Attendance and punctuality are essential during these testing days. Students who did not pass previous assessments have the opportunity to retake them, and those needing additional support will receive remediation.
Once testing begins, we are unable to admit students who arrive late or process early dismissals. Research shows that students perform best when testing occurs during regularly scheduled morning sessions rather than during make-up times.

We ask that all families ensure their student arrives on time and remains at school for the full day. Your partnership in supporting consistent attendance during these assessment days makes a meaningful difference in student success.

Join us for our 2nd Annual Art Exhibition!
Date: 2nd, June, 2026
Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm

Good Afternoon Fairmont Middle School Staff, Students, and Families.

Our end-of-grade assessments are approaching. Fifth through seventh grade students will begin Math EOG testing on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, followed by Reading EOG for fifth through eighth grade on Friday, May 29, 2026.

To support student success, we ask that all students arrive on time and remain at school for the full day. Once a testing session begins, we cannot admit students who arrive late or allow early dismissals. Research indicates that students perform optimally when testing occurs early in the day during regularly scheduled sessions rather than during make-up times.

We appreciate your partnership in ensuring your student is present and punctual on these important assessment days.

🌺 Aloha! What a magical evening at FMS 2026 Hawaiian Island Prom! Our students arrived dressed to impress and danced under the stars in our own little slice of paradise. 🌴✨ From the moment they stepped onto the dance floor, the energy was absolutely electric—laughter, twirling, and pure joy filled the air. 🎉💫 We're so grateful to have witnessed these incredible young people celebrating this special milestone together. Here's to the memories they'll treasure from A Night in Paradise at Fairmont Middle School! 🌊🎊

What a wonderful evening at the 2026 Public Schools of Robeson County Awards Ceremony! 🎉 Our Fairmont Middle School family had so much to celebrate. We are thrilled to recognize Mrs. Stacy Robinson-Chambers as our 2026-2027 Fairmont Middle School Teacher of the Year 🌟 and Mrs. Denise Hunt as our 2026-2027 Fairmont Middle School Teacher Assistant of the Year 👏. Their dedication and passion for our students shine through every single day. Dr. Vivian Tyndall was also honored with a special plaque recognizing her outstanding service to PSRC as she embarks on this exciting new chapter of retirement at the close of this school year🎊. These incredible educators have made such a meaningful impact on our school community, and we are so grateful for everything they do. Congratulations to all three of you! 💛

What a heartwarming reminder that our community truly has our backs! 💙 Last week, our wonderful neighbors at Trinity Methodist Church weren't feeling their best and had to miss our Teacher Appreciation Week celebrations. But this week, feeling refreshed and ready to spread some joy, they showed up on Wednesday with a delicious breakfast spread for our entire staff! 🥐☕ It's moments like these that make our hearts so full—when people go out of their way to show they care, even after they've been under the weather themselves. We are genuinely blessed to be part of such a thoughtful and supportive community. Thank you, Trinity Methodist Church, for reminding us what it means to lift each other up! 🙏✨

Hello Fairmont Middle School Families!

As we approach the end of the year, we are putting on our calendars the dates for our end of year testing. Please be sure to look at these dates and ensure that your students are well rested, ready, and on time for school on the testing days. Testing on these days will last a minimum of two hours from the time it begins; we cannot interrupt testing to pull a child from class.
Please adjust any appointments that students may have if possible so the appointments will not interfere with testing. Students typically do best on the test if they are at school on the regular testing days and do not have to take the test as a "make up" test, please help our students have the best testing experience possible!

Testing Dates are currently scheduled as follows:
5/27/26 - Math EOG for grades 5-7
5/29/26 - Reading EOG for grades 5-8
6/2/26 - Science EOG for grades 5 & 8
6/3/26 - NC Math 1 EOC for 8th Grade

Get ready to celebrate! 🎉 We're thrilled to invite you to our awards day program where we'll honor the incredible accomplishments and hard work of our students this year.

Join us Wednesday, May 20th, 2026 in the gymnasium! 🏫 Fifth graders, your ceremony kicks off at 8:30 am, while sixth and seventh graders will celebrate at 10:00 am.

We hope that all students and honored guests will come dressed for success as we recognize the amazing achievements of our Fairmont Middle School students. This is going to be a wonderful morning filled with pride and celebration! ✨

Teacher Appreciation Week was absolutely wonderful, and we have to give a huge shout-out to our incredible PTO! 🎉 Ms. Baldwin, Mrs. Tia, Mr. David, and the entire PTO team went above and beyond to celebrate our staff. From sponsoring a delicious lunch 🍽️ to providing special t-shirts on Friday 👕, they showed up in the biggest way possible. We are so grateful for their generosity and support — our school truly shines because of people like them! ✨
