News From the FORCE - March 15th, 2021

         


Welcome To Our School Blog!

Happy Monday FORCE Families!

We hope that your week has started out well and that you are all staying healthy and safe.  March is rolling along quite nicely here at The Farm as we dive deeper into Trimester 3 and inch closer to Spring and Spring Break!   

Check out the information below on an update with Pennies 4 Patients and PTC news!                

We are keeping the expectations information below this paragraph on the blog 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"

    Update on Pennies 4 Patients From:
    Mrs. Bews!

    Wow FFE, you are doing amazing work with our Hero Squad Campaign. I am happy to report that we have raised just over $4,200. This means we only have $1800 left until we reach our school goal! The classroom competitions are so close with Mrs. Manley and Mrs. Richard neck and neck in the lower grades and Mrs. Harless holding strong in the upper grades. 

    Kona is Coming: 
    For the 3rd year in a row, we will be partnering with Kona Ice and a portion of the proceeds will go directly to our Hero Squad campaign. However, due to current regulations, this event will look a little different. The Kona truck will be parked at Stizzo Park (Behind the school) on Thursday 3/18 from 3:00-5:30. 

    To adhere to Social distancing, this will be a preorder event. Please use the following link to preorder your Kona Ice. https://konaicerosevillearea.square.site/fiddyment-farm-elementary-fundraiser When you arrive at the truck just give your name and pick up your Konas. It's quick and easy! Please preorder your Kona by 9 pm on 3/17.

    Thank you all for supporting such a worthy cause! We are halfway there, so let's keep going strong!

    Mrs. Bews






    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.
