REMINDER our Bell Schedule will be changing
Beginning - TOMORROW - SEPTEMBER 8th
NO CHANGE to start and end times of the school day!
RECESS BREAK Change - Every student will take a "recess" break from 10:25am - 10:40am
LUNCH BREAK Change - Every student will take their lunch break from 12:00pm - 1:00pm
PE & Music times are changed - Your child's teacher will share those times with you!

Fiddyment Farm SPIRIT DAY!
Our first spirit day is this Friday, September 11th. - Look for the Facebook post on Friday morning to comment/share your photos of you in ending a distance learning week in your most awesome PJs! How fitting!
Our Multi Purpose Room will be open WEEKLY with the OPTION for Grade Level Teams to use it to distribute materials and/or collect completed work.
EACH GRADE LEVEL TEAM will communicate with their families when specific distribution and collection days will be.
(Example - Kindergarten may have materials to pick up every week, but 4th grade may only need to get materials out every 2-3 weeks.)
The MPR will be open:
EVERY THURSDAY from 3pm -6pm
&
EVERY FRIDAY from 9am - 12pm.
All families that are INFORMED by their teachers to pick up materials or drop off work can come anytime on these days during these times. (You may have a week or 2 when you are not informed by your child's teacher to pick up or drop off.)
Here are the guidelines for parents:
- Parents will line up outside the door of the MPR (distanced 6 ft apart)
- We will regulate the amount of people in the MPR . (Ex. when full, when 2 people leave, 2 people will then be let in and so forth)
- Everyone entering the MPR will be required to wear a face covering
- We ask that if possible, you PLEASE do not bring children with you, unless you have no other option.
If you are UNABLE to make it to the MPR during the two days and two time windows, the materials will be left for you to pick up the FOLLOWING WEEK's Materials Distribution/Collection!
Any questions for clarification around Materials Deployment/Collection, please reach out to your child's teacher and we will do our best to support!
The district is serving lunch/breakfast combo meals between 11:30 and 1:00 on a daily basis at the following sites:
Cirby, Woodbridge, Buljan, Eich and Crestmont
If you would like to pick up multiple meals at one time, just ask the food services staff at the lunch site. Don’t forget about our nutritious and delicious meals!
We hope distance learning is going as smooth as possible for all of you! Remember, we know that every family's situation and environment is different, and we will always do our best to help support and accommodate to make things possible for the success of our students!
