FRES Walk to School Day is returning for the 2nd Quarter!
Any student who wishes to walk from Savage Library must be signed in by an adult at the library parking lot between 8:40 and 8:50 am on December 12th. Students may walk from any neighborhood, not just the Savage Library.
Walking will begin at 8:50 am. Parents and families are encouraged to walk with us.
Only in the event of thunder/lightning or a snow day will the event be cancelled.
Please plan to join us! Show your school spirit. Wear blue and yellow and walk!
From the PE Department
The cold, messy weather will arrive before we know it. If it is a day for boots, please remember to have children place sneakers in their back packs on days when they have physical education. Tennis shoes are required for all students to be able to fully participate in physical education classes safely.
Family File Update
Number of children whose parents haven't updated: 4. Almost there!! Remember that your child will not be able to attend a field trip until the information is updated. The file must be updated by the payment due date on the permission slip. Report cards will also be withheld.
