The first two weeks of October are Disability History and Awareness Weeks! As with all Florida public schools, FAMU DRS will provide instruction to students that expands their knowledge, understanding, and awareness of individuals with disabilities, disability history, and the disability rights movement.

Due to the impending storm and anticipated inclement weather, FAMU DRS will release students on Friday, October 9, at 1:35 p.m. Parents are respectfully asked to pick up their students immediately after school ends to ensure faculty and staff may travel home safely. All afterschool activities and events have been canceled.

FAMU DRS proudly celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, honoring the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of our Hispanic and Latino communities. This observance recognizes generations of individuals whose achievements have helped shape our nation in education, science, the arts, public service, business, and beyond.

FAMU DRS families, the first nine weeks ends October 9, 2026! Please review your student’s grades, attendance, assignments, and progress with them. Use the attached checklist to celebrate their successes and identify any support they may need for a strong start to the next nine weeks.
