News From the FORCE - December 14, 2020

     


Welcome To Our School Blog!
Message From Our FORCE Staff
December 14, 2020


Happy Monday FORCE Families!  

We have made it through 4 weeks of our 5 day modified schedule, and I am happy to say that besides a few bumps in the road, the majority of our staff and students continue to stay healthy and everyone on site works hard every day to stay safe! As we head into our final week before Winter Break, we hope that all of our families will stay diligent with staying safe and aware, so that when we return in 2021, our students are healthy and read to continue our live-in person learning.    

We hope that you all find your own special way to continue your traditions and possibly make new ones for this holiday season, and of course, we hope our students will take the time to rest and reset.              

As we start this week, here are a few reminders for parents:

1. If your child complains about being ill or shows symptoms of illness while at school, they will most likely be sent home.  When this happens, our district nursing staff will then reach out to the family and inquire about the student, documenting symptoms, and giving a timeline for that student to return to school.  This could be the next day, or staying out for a longer period - it all depends on the symptoms and possible COVID-19 risk/exposure.  PLEASE NOTE - Fiddyment Farm is bound to the directive of the district office nurse's COVID team and cannot overturn their plan for students to return to school.  We appreciate your patience if one of your children become ill and have to stay away from school for a period of time, as we CANNOT let students return unless they are cleared by the nursing team.  If you have a child out for a period longer than a day or two, your child will be offered school work to stay up to speed on classroom learning. 

2. Please do a proper health check of your children BEFORE they come to school - take their temp, ask about queasy tummies and headaches, check for runny and stuffy noses, and listen for coughs.  And if your child has symptoms of being sick for any reason, please keep them home until they feel better - they can always catch up on the work, but getting others sick could lead to bad outcomes down the road!

2.  Please make sure your child does NOT leave the house without a face covering, especially if they are in grades 3-5, where it is mandatory.  Even though it is not mandatory in TK-2, it is strongly recommended for students to wear a mask or face shield to keep themselves and others as safe as possible.   So far EVERYONE has been doing AWESOME with this!

3. Please remember our new attendance procedure - if your child is staying home from school, you no longer need to call - just fill out the quick Google Form - LINK HERE!

4. Please try to refrain from dropping off items in our school office.  We need to limit the amount of exposure to others in order to keep you and our staff safe.

As always, we want to thank our community of parents and guardians for supporting Fiddyment Farm Elementary School, our students, and our staff!  Stay healthy, stay safe, and take care!

Have a wonderful weekend and remember to always - "BE A FORCE FOR GOOD"
