Students attending in person are asked to arrive at school between 7:45-8AM and should promptly go directly to their classroom. Students are marked tardy if they arrive after 8AM. For health and safety reasons during the pandemic, students are asked not to play on the FMA playground to minimize any potential exposure. Students are encouraged to read a book, play games without physical interaction, and maintain social distancing while waiting to enter the building upon arrival.
Parents who pick up their children should pick them up on the playground outside of the FMA main entrance
Extended Day
The 8-hour school day allows students to receive instruction in a wide range of subjects, including Spanish, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math), and Choice Time courses. FMA has strong community partnerships with Harvard City Step and Lesley University to support these exciting learning opportunities.
Parking
Parking around FMA is limited, but there are a few spots reserved for pick-up and drop-off right in front of the school on Harvard St. Parents who drive also often find parking on Boardman St., which is parallel to Windsor St., or further down Harvard St. near Izzy’s Park.
