COVID UPDATES:
Thank you for your continued vigilance in keeping sick kids home. We are very proud to report that though we have had to send students home for COVID exposures. 0% of our students have spread COVID to each other. COVID is coming in through community/ family activities, however, it is not being spread at FVES. We have not experienced a cluster or cases of students spreading it with our current lunch protocols. Thank you for continuing to encourage students to wear their masks properly, stay socially distanced when inside, and stay in their lunch area while eating.
PICNIC TABLES:
We are happy to report that we are being given 10 picnic tables this Saturday for student lunch time use. The IA's are meeting this next week to discuss supervision ideas and ways to rotate student use to get outside while eating. We will keep you in the loop with ideas and decisions!
Thank you for your continued support and love for our school family. We appreciate you!

2021-2022 Board Advisory Council Meetings
*We are still in need of a representative for our school at these meetings. Please let Heather know if you're interested!*
Families, welcome to the 2021-2022 District 2 Board Advisory Council (BAC) year. You're invited to our first meeting on Wednesday, October 6th at 6:00pm. We will meet in the auditorium of South Garner High School. Please wear a mask and we will meet in the auditorium so there is plenty of room for social distancing.
Board Advisory Council meetings are made up of citizen members, school administrators and other staff to provide feedback and consultation to each board member by district.
Each school is required to have a parent representative that attends each District 2 meeting this year. For dates, you can look at this calendar. Please email Mrs. Johnson if you're interested hmjohnson@wcpss.net.
Thank you for your consideration to represent our school this year!
WCPSS are asking our BAC to participate in the U.S. 401 Corridor Study. Please take time to complete the study, share with your staff, and with the parents at your school as it affects parts of District 2.
