IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE!! --- Pick-up/Drop-offs
ALL exchanges for which you need to park will require you to accompany your child into the office to drop-off and sign in OR pick-up your child from the office and sign out. While this may add a few extra minutes to the exchange, the safety of all is our utmost concern.
In addition, if you arrive early to drop-off students and decide to park in the lot until drop-off begins, you MUST get in the line to drop your child off at the front and not cut through and jump to the front of the line. Do NOT cut to the front of the line. Given that on any given day we have hundreds of students dropped off, it is imperative that everyone follows the procedures. Safety of all is imperative. Thank you in advance.
NO Texting/Emailing during school day
In an effort to keep instructional time as free from distraction as possible, do not email or text your child during the school day. Please contact the office should you need to get a message to your child.
Students have been reminded of the following:
- Absolutely NO texting/personal emailing during the school day (7:45 a.m.-2:45 p.m.) to students OR parents via any type of program/app/etc. Consequences will be given should this occur. [Students staying for after school events may utilize such technology after school.]
- Notifications should be turned off during the school day.
- If students receive texts/emails during the school day, they should immediately notify their teacher or staff member.
- We realize there may need to be communication between students working collaboratively during the school day. However, it should only be done at teacher direction/approval.
- Texting/emailing that does occur outside of school is a parental approval issue. However, if content of texting/emailing outside of school negatively impacts/affects the school environment, there may be consequences that are imposed at school.
Remember...if you need to get a message to your child during the school day, please call the office at 915-4220. All other situations should be resolved outside the school day.
Keyboarding Skills
Dear Parents and Students:
Below is a recommended site for intermediate students to utilize to learn and improve keyboarding skills prior to entering junior high school. Please consider working on these skills outside of the school day since keyboarding is not a course offered at the intermediate level in HSE Schools. Below are points to consider which have been offered by Dr. Stephanie Loane, Director of Elementary Education for HSE.
http://www.typingweb.com/tutor/ -Students try the free tutor sessions, games and basic tests
Rationale for Keyboarding at Intermediate Levels
· Word processing is a basic skill that should be mastered before the JH level with proficiency before poor habits are established
· Students will experience more success and ease with written response and publishing in all content areas as skills increase
· JH students who demonstrate proficiency when entering grade 7 would be provided with other opportunities beyond basic keyboarding yet to be determined
Keyboarding Instruction and Practice
· Parents will monitor progress at home, encouraging daily practice and keyboarding habits with typingweb.com
· On recommended website students will progress through Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced courses following a sequence of lessons and practice games
· Students will take assessments on website to monitor progress at home

Social Media - Parent Involvement
We know many of you are aware of and discuss appropriate social media use with your children. However, it is worth noting again at this time as there are increasing social media situations involving FCI students finding their way into the classroom environment negatively impacting focus and interaction. Should this occur, there may be a need for school administration to be involved. Please take some time to discuss appropriate use of social media with your child.
