Happy Wednesday FORCE Families!
We hope that your week is going well and that you are all staying healthy and safe. As we reach the midpoint of February, just a reminder that the end of Trimester 2 is next Friday, February 19th. The following week beyond that is Parent-Teacher Conference week, so be prepared for dismissal schedule changes that week (See below). Also, remember that we are in for another 3 day weekend coming up - NO SCHOOL this coming Monday, February 15th for President's Day Observance.
Again, please see the information below on changes for Conference Week regarding the school schedule. Also, be on the lookout for communication from your teacher regarding signing up for conference days and time slots. And as you would expect, all conferences will be held online via Zoom.
Keeping the expectations below on the blog weekly as reminders of safety procedures while we are in live person teaching with a shortened day. - The closer we can conform to these expectations, the less chance there will be of classroom or the whole school having to quarantine and switch to distance learning.
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!
3. Please make sure your child does NOT leave the house without a face covering, as they are now mandatory for all students in TK-5th grade. So far EVERYONE has been doing AWESOME with this!
4. 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!
5. 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 rest of your week and remember to always - "BE A FORCE FOR GOOD"

Hello Force Families,
With the new addition of the Nugget Market coming so close, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the Nugget Scrip program. It is a free program where you can simply scan a scrip card at checkout and a percent of the proceeds come back to FFE PTC. We have those cards available for pick up on the table outside the school office. Please take one card per family.
We have standalone cards and cards attached to a brochure that gives more information should you need that. Please feel free to grab one during drop off or pick up. You can also pick one up for family members such as grandparents, aunts/uncles etc…. that may also be interesting using a card.
Before your first use, you will need to register the card online at the website found on the back of the card. Once registered, you can use this at checkout at any Nugget Market.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We appreciate your support.
