Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!

Dear FDR Families,

I am honored to continue serving as the principal of FDR K-8 School and to welcome both new and returning families to the 2025–2026 school year!

As we begin this new chapter together, I am filled with excitement for what lies ahead. Our school is a place where students are challenged academically, supported socially and emotionally, and celebrated for who they are. With the dedication of our staff, the involvement of our families, and the energy of our incredible students, I know we are in for another great year of learning, growth, and community.

This year, we are especially thrilled to announce the addition of a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) class to our school! Welcoming our youngest learners into the FDR community is an exciting milestone, and we look forward to building a strong foundation for their educational journey through play-based, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.

At FDR, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment for every child. Whether your student is starting TK, entering middle school, or anywhere in between, our goal is to ensure they feel connected, inspired, and empowered to do their best.

We look forward to continuing strong academic programs, expanding enrichment opportunities, and building on our schoolwide focus on social-emotional learning and belonging. I invite you to stay involved—through classroom events, PTA meetings, family nights, or simply reaching out with your thoughts or questions.

I truly believe that strong relationships between school and home make all the difference. Together, we can help our students thrive—not just this year, but well into the future.

Let’s make 2025–2026 a joyful, successful, and memorable year!

Warmly,
Aubrey Duffy
Principal, FDR K-8 School
