Principal's Message

New Visitor Management System Rolls Out

After working with a self-organized community group, hosting several community meetings and receiving expert review and recommendation, the school district is implementing a new visitor check-in system at all schools. Visitors will be requested to provide a government issued ID; this will be used to create a sort of user account for you in our system.

Welcome back to the 2018/19 school year!

Hello Families, Welcome Back! I hope this letter finds everyone enjoying their last few weeks of summer vacation. We are excited to begin our year together. First, I want to welcome back our returning families and a big welcome to new families. Life continues to move around us… Life events are always taking place… and what is always constant is our commitment as a staff to come into Fort Lewis Mesa Elementary and put forth our best effort for EACH and EVERY student that arrives in our building.
