Message From Our FORCE Staff
October 29, 2018
What a whirlwind the end of October has been here at Fiddyment! The trimester is winding down and our teachers are hard at work on preparing for next week's Parent - Teacher Conferences! They are so excited to speak with parents to go over student progress and plan for a successful rest of the school year!
Last week was amazing here on The Farm - from the fabulous Enchanted Book Fair that coincided with our GRAND lunch events, to Red Ribbon spirit week, and the awesome community Harvest Festival - it was such a jam packed week of fun for our students, a great way to wind down October and the 1st trimester!
REMINDERS For the Coming Week:
- TOMORROW (10/30) is Picture Retake Day - if you missed your pictures back in Sept, now is your chance to snazz it up and smile for pics!
- NO SCHOOL on Thursday (11/1) and Friday (11/2) - These are teacher training days!
- Wednesday is Halloween, and we DO NOT allow students to wear costumes to school, as unfortunately they become a distraction to the learning process. - It was awesome to see so many of our students in costume at the Harvest Festival!
- Next week is Parent Conference Week - Please plan for early dismissal all week:
Our school mission is to maximize learning for each member of our FORCE!

Harvest Festival
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
We want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to our amazing Fiddyment community for coming out to enjoy the 1st ever Harvest Festival food, games, and fun! It was an absolute blast, and it was outstanding to see so many smiling young faces and kind regards from parents - it seems everyone truly enjoyed their time at the event!
And we can't thank the Parent Volunteers enough who made the event happen! They worked their tails off on planning, organizing and carrying out the games, decorations, treats/food, arts and craft, and the music - we appreciate all of your time and effort!

The Book Fair earned a ton of money, all of which goes straight back into the Library for Mrs. Enos to upkeep books and order the latest and greatest for our students to enjoy!
We appreciate the community outpouring of support for the Book Fair and we thank everyone again for making it such an outstanding event!
Bike and Scooter Reminder For Students
Parents, please remind your children, as we continue to do so, that it is not safe and against school expectations for students to ride their bikes and scooters anywhere on campus, including the parking lot/waiting areas.
In the morning, as soon as students come onto campus, they should get off of their bikes and scooters and walk them to the gate they wait to come in when the bell rings. And at dismissal students should walk their bikes and scooters all the way to the sidewalk/street, clear of the campus and other students.
These safety measures, will help to ensure that students who are walking or standing on campus, are not run into by students riding bikes or scooters, which seems to be a major issue, when students are adhering to the proper expectations. A simple reminder from you each day, may be all your child needs to stay safe - thank you!
