Welcome Back Bulldogs!!!!
Good morning FES families…This is Mrs. Champion with a warm welcome back message. We are excited to welcome students back tomorrow. Please make sure you have completed your child’s paperwork from open house and that the return-to-school documents are sent back tomorrow. Parents are welcome to walk their children to their classrooms tomorrow and Monday. Beginning Tuesday, August 12th, all students will need to be dropped off in the car rider line unless they are arriving by bus.
We will need your help in the mornings to make our car rider line more efficient and keep the safety of our students as our number one priority. All students arriving to school as a car rider should be dropped off in the car rider line, not in the parking lot in front of the school or in the side or back parking lots near the office. These areas are reserved for students with special circumstances and parents have already met with me to make these arrangements. If you feel that your child needs a special arrangement, please call the school to set up a time to meet with me. Please have your students unbuckled and ready to exit the car before you pull up to the sidewalk where our teachers are stationed to assist students. Parents, please do not get out of your car in the line. If your child needs help, our staff will assist them. Many parents are pushed for time to make it to work without a late penalty. Please make sure the door your child will be using is free from objects that could fall out of the car. Also, for afternoon car rider line, please do not line up till 1:30pm or after to pick your child up.
Thank you all so much for your help with keeping our students safe and helping our car rider line run smoothly!
On behalf of the entire faculty/staff…Welcome Back! This is going to be the best year ever at FES!!
