How does the Class Size Amendment impact middle schools?
The final phase of the Class Size Amendment will take effect during the 2010-11 school year. Article IX, Section 1(a) of the Florida Constitution requires that action must be taken once a class exceeds the cap by just one student.

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
Students learn at home, in school, and in the community. Research shows that parent involvement is the single most important indicator of school success. The staff of FKMS is committed to excellence in education and encourages parents to become involved in their students' education. There are opportunities for parent and community involvement at Fort King Middle School. Every effort will be made to find every parent a way to participate actively in his/her child's education. Volunteers are needed to tutor students, shelve library books, make games, file papers, and chaperone field trips. If you are interested in helping out, contact our School Volunteer Coordinator.
Mentors and Tutors
Volunteers are needed at FKMS to serve as mentors and tutors. Tutors and mentors assist students in preparation for FCAT, in developing reading skills, in exploring careers, and researching topics in the Media Center.
