Happy New Year!! and Welcome Back
There is a critical survey that all families need to complete ASAP so we can plan for the return of many students to our building on January 19th. You have received phone calls and emails and texts and a great big THANK YOU to those who have completed the survey. If you haven't please, please do so today. Here is the link: Return to School Survey
Reminder that
- You need to register. your child for the bus on the district website. Bus Registration
- all students will need to wear a mask all day upon return to the building on January 19th.
- visitors will not be allowed in the building. Only staff and students will have access in an
effort to adhere to as many of the CDC guidelines as possible.
- School begins at 8:10am - doors open at 8:00 am. Your child will not have access to the building until the doors open at 8:00am. Please do not drop them earlier - it's cold outside.
- All students should have proper winter gear; snow pants, jacket, boots, hat, gloves, facemask. (Students will take brain breaks and some of these may be walks outside).
We are all in this together and need to continue working as partners to make the remainder of the year successful for all. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do to make your child's school experience a positive one.

Meals are free for all students through May 2021
The USDA has extended the waiver for FNSBSD to provide breakfast & lunch to all FNSBSD enrolled students for FREE. This includes our charter schools and BEST!
There are some important factors to remember:
Meal pick up is at school buildings from 9am-1pm - At MSN its by the gym doors off the bus loop.
Orders can be placed online through School Cafe. Students should be present to pick up meals, but if they are not the parent/guardian must have photo ID and S# for each student. If the parent/guardian is not available, they need to call Nutrition Services at 451-1004 to designate another adult.
Free & reduced applications are still being accepted.
