No School on Labor Day
THANK YOU!
A Request from the FIS Clinic
The School Clinic is in need of NEW underwear for boys and girls. We are also in need of NEW socks and new or gently used shorts and pants (sizes 8-18). Please label “Clinic” when sending in items with your child. We appreciate your help to take the best care of our children!
Safe Bus Rides
Bus Expectations
1. Listen and obey bus driver or monitor at all times.
2. Sit correctly in your seat until you reach your bus stop and the bus has completely stopped.
3. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. Never put anything out the window.
4. Use appropriate voice level and kind words.
5. All food and electronics should stay in your backpack.
6. Take care of the bus.
We would appreciate you reviewing these expectations at home with your child, so they know we are all working together to create a safe bus ride.
Volunteers and Visitors for Lunch
TN Attendance Law Changes for 2021-2022
Important Reminders
- Beginning Monday, Aug. 16, if you do not have a FIS car tag when picking up your child, you will need to park in the parking lot and walk to the cafeteria. We will no longer be checking IDs in the car circle as this slows down the process for everyone.
- If your child forgot their lunch, water bottle, or homework, you may drop it off between 8:30 and 10:00 on the white table at the front entrance of the school. Sticky notes and pens are provided on the table for you to write your child's name, grade level, and teacher.
- Students will not be dismissed early after 2:15.
- A written note must be sent to your child's teacher on any day that your child will have a change in how he or she goes home.
Save the Date!
