Message from Principal Smith

Dear Families,

As we wrap up Week 8, I want to take a moment to thank all of our parents and guardians who joined us for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Your partnership and engagement are essential to your child’s academic success, and we truly appreciate the time you took to meet with our teachers.

If you were unable to attend conferences, we completely understand—busy schedules can make it difficult. We encourage you to reach out directly to your student’s teachers to schedule a time for an in-person meeting or a phone conference. Our staff is always happy to connect and work together to support your child’s learning.

We’re also excited to share a fun way for students to get involved and earn PBIS points! We are collecting candy donations to support our Youth Service Center's Fall Festival. Students who bring in candy will receive PBIS points, and their contributions will help make our fall celebration a great success for everyone. All donations can be dropped off in the main office or brought directly to your child’s Genius Hour/1st period teacher. Please have them dropped off no later than October 15.

Thank you for your continued support of our school community. We look forward to a strong and successful fall season together!

Warm regards,
Carolyn B Smith
Principal, Farnsley Middle School

Explore Spotlight: Business Partner Kickoff!

This past week Farnsley met with current and potential business partners for our inaugural Business Partner Kickoff. Local businesses who work with us to share their industry knowledge were greeted by our fantastic Explore Ambassadors, given a snapshot of our programming and toured our Explore classes. We then collaborated on how they could bring their expertise to our students. What a fantastic way to kick off our partnerships! Thank you to:

  • Hazen & Sawyer

  • Educational Justice

  • First Commonwealth Mortgage

  • Practicare Home Care Services

  • Chemours

  • McDonalds

If you, or anyone you know, may be interested in partnering with us, please reach out to: Courtney DeKeuster or Carolyn B Smith
