We celebrated by having Skittle Explosion Day! Throughout this newsletter you will see photos of some of our students in their color explosion! Even a few of our Remote learners enjoyed participating!
Currently, Students are working to collect 15 eggs in order to earn their next celebration. When we do..... It will be Pajama day! Who doesn't love wearing pj's once in a while to school? I know I do!!!!
Principal's Message
As you all know, we will be welcoming students back to fully in-person learning starting the week of October 5th. Teachers and all of our staff members have been working tirelessly to make this possible. I am incredibly proud of our faculty and staff for all of their work, planning, collaboration, and their dedication to our students.
Next week I will share with families some of the steps and procedures we are taking to maintain a safe learning environment for students and staff as we move to fully-in person instruction.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
- Matt

Meet Fleming's New Nurse!
Hi Everyone!
My name is a Danielle and I am the new School Nurse. When I am not at work I love hanging with my adorable pup Lola. I also love hiking, biking, skiing, and basically anything that will get me outdoors! I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone :)
Cup Stacking Challenge!
Visitors in School
If you need to see the nurse for any reason, such as dropping off medication, please call the Health Office at 857-7789, she will arrange a time to meet you outside, in front of the building.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate the new norm for this school year. We can't wait for the time that it's ok for parents to come back in and volunteer at school, and connect in person!
Please read regarding our Drop/Off Pick up Policies
Drop-off:
Students should not arrive on school grounds any earlier than 7:45 am unless bus transportation results in their bus drop of arriving before that time. More and more students are arriving early, and we are not staffed to accommodate early arrivals. Thank you for your help
Pick Up
Students walking or biking, will be dismissed at 2:57pm.
Students getting picked up will be dismissed at the bell at 3:00pm.
When picking up your students at the end of the day, please drive around the back of the school building and line up for pickup along the sidewalk near the playground-side of the building, where children can enter through the left side of vehicles. Please do not wait for students in the front island or park on Prospect Street to have them cut across driveway or streets with moving traffic.
Note: Afternoon bus transportation will have dedicated use of the front of school loop for buses that will likely arrive to provide school transportation for eligible students no other vehicles will be able to be parked in the front loop during that time.
Important Reminders
- Please send students with a water bottle to school every day. The drinking stations can not be used this year, and have been shut off, but they can still fill water bottles throughout the day.
- Every student will be given a chrome book and charge this year for both in school and remote learning days. The computer and charger will be brought home in your child's Fleming learning bag. Please help your child to keep track of both the computer and charge as they are costly items to replace as well they will be needed for each day of learning whether remote or at school. We are encouraging finding a chrome book case if possible to help protect the computers throughout the school year.
