LETTER FROM MRS. HOLMAN & MRS. GIFFORD |
|
Dear FES Students and Families,
December is here! It’s hard to believe that half the year is just about over. Before we know it, it will be 2022, and the days will start getting longer again! This month is always so full of fun and exciting activities both at school and at home. While we plan on having fun these last three weeks before winter break, we are still focused on academics, and our commitment to growing students.
At the beginning of the year, FES teachers and staff helped develop a new vision statement. This statement reflects what we believe in and are committed to. Our vision statement is: At FES, we are committed to academic excellence by embracing opportunities to become problem solvers, life long learners, and confident leaders in a safe and positive environment. This vision drives what we do here at FES and helps give us direction as we teach and work with our students. We know that our world is ever changing, and we want to make sure that FES students are ready to face whatever may come their way. We do this by teaching them how to be problem solvers, having fun while learning, and modeling what it means to be SR2; Safe, Responsible and Respectful.
We hope that all of our FES families have a wonderful holiday season. Stay warm, stay safe, and stay healthy!
Yours truly,
Mindy Holman and Sheryl Gifford

Food Items
Any food brought to the school for parties, events, etc…. must be pre- packaged, store bought and have labels on them. The reason for this is because we have students with severe allergies such as, but not limited to tree nuts. We are asking that you refrain from sending peanut or tree nut products to school. Please reference student handbook.

“Kiss and Go” Drop Off and Pick Up
***The front loop is THROUGH TRAFFIC ONLY - it is referred to as a “Kiss and Go’ drop off/pick up lane. Students can enter and exit their vehicle at the designated stop only. This will not be a parking spot- it will only be a momentary drop off or pick up spot. There are 2 red lines that indicate the drop off/pick up spot and they are located on the west side of the front circle.
DO NOT PASS OTHER VEHICLES in the front circle.
**ALL students Kindergarten-6th grade are picked up or dropped off at the designated spot inside the front loop - there is no pick up or drop off in any other location.

A Reminder From the Health Office:
Colder weather is upon us, so please dress accordingly. Dressing in layers will help keep you warm when outside, and allow you to be cool while inside.
Parents - Please keep your child home if they are running a fever. Students should be 24 hours fever free without medication before returning to school.
Make sure that your Kindergarten and 6th grade Immunizations are up to date!
Exemption forms may be picked up in the Health Office.
The Health Office needs to be aware of any health concerns your student may have. This includes any allergies, medications, or health problems.
Please make sure to update your students information through parent portal. Without being updated, our Health Tech cannot administer any medications to your child during the school day. This includes Tylenol, cough drops, bug bite cream, antibiotic ointment for any cuts or scrapes, etc. Parent contact will also be made for all head bumps.

Mr. Mascarenas
My name is Joe Mascarenas and this is my 14th year in education. During those 14 years, I’ve been a 3rd and 4th grade teacher, a middle school PE teacher, an elementary school PE teacher, and a Title I reading teacher. Now, I'm teaching 2nd grade. I love teaching because I love summer vacation and Christmas break!!!....Haha...mostly kidding. I love teaching because I love making connections with students, and I love creating an environment where students look forward to learning.
