The Fernway Flash
August 19, 2021
It was so amazing to see so many of our families and staff at the Freeze Pops with the Falcons event. Thank you to all that came out! Seeing all of the smiling faces makes me so excited for next Tuesday.
This newsletter will contain information on arrival and dismissal procedures. You will also find information on lunches.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Open House on Monday.

Student Parent Handbook
It is important to read through the handbook with your child(ren) so everyone is on the same page and understands the expectations and procedures.
The last page of the handbook is a verification of receipt. Please return that to your child's teacher by 9/3/21.
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival and dismissal procedures are listed in the Parent Student Handbook (above). Please make sure to read through them carefully. They are similar to what we did last year with a few exceptions.
- Kindergarten through 3rd grade students arriving/leaving in the back of the building on O'Brien Drive will enter and exit from Door 6 this year.
- North wallkers will not be dismissed from the front doors. They will exit from Door 2 on the primary blacktop and walk around by the playground to leave the school grounds.
A summary of where students will enter and exit the building is included below.
Lunchtime Procedures
- First Lunch (Grades Kdg and 3rd) – 10:40 to 11:20
- Second Lunch (Grades 1st and 2nd ) - 11:25 to 12:05
- Third Lunch (Grades 4th and 5th ) – 12:10 to 12:50
Procedures and Information
- Students have a 40 minute lunch/recess period each day. The students have approximately 20 minutes to eat lunch and 20 minutes of outdoor recess, weather permitting.
- Students will be seated a minimum of 6 feet apart while eating.
- Students should follow the directions of the Lunch Supervisor. Each student is responsible for cleaning up his/her area where he/she is eating. Every student must work as a team to keep the room clean. Washroom use is granted during lunchtime with permission from the Lunch Supervisors. Children are not permitted to leave the area without permission.
Delivering Lunches
- Children should come to school with their lunches. However, occasionally it is necessary for parents to deliver lunches. Please label the lunch with the student’s name, grade, and room number and place it on the cart located between the glass doors at the entrance.
- Fountain drinks are not permitted.
Lunch Supervisors Needed
