Bus Expectations
We focused on 3 main things to make a successful bus ride:
1. Students must be stayed fully seated while on the bus.
2. Students must use quiet/low voices so the driver can focus on the roads, hear emergency sirens or use his/her walkie to talk to other students while the bus is moving.
3. Students must keep their hands and feet to themselves while on the bus.
We are hoping that families that particularly have students that ride frequently can review these expectations with their child at home.
Illness Reminders
- Temperature of 100.4 degrees
- Sore Throat
- New uncontrolled cough causing difficulty breathing
- Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- New onset of severe headache, especially with fever
Please continue to communicate with your child's building of any new situations that affect your family by calling us at 989-775-2260 or emailing Mrs. Wendi Chaffin at wchaffin@mp.edzone.net.
If your child is not feeling well and/or going to be absent, please call the school, and we will contact their teacher to let them know of the absence.
Please Label your Student's Items
Use a permanent marker to label your child's name on lunchboxes, school supplies, backpacks, water bottles, child's clothes (utilize the inside tags of sweatshirts, jackets, shoes, and snowpants). We will periodically check labels and post pictures of items to be claimed - check out the Fancher Facebook page.
Send an extra pair of clothes to stay in your student's locker, place in a ziplock bag or plastic grocery bag, label with their name.
Pokemon Cards, Toys, and Electronics
Electronic Devices
Such as cell phones, iPods, cameras, tablets are strongly recommended to be left at home, they are not permitted on our playground or in a student's desk during the school day. If the objects are at school they need to remain safely tucked away in backpacks from 8:40am to 3:49pm.
Emergency Safety Drills
Last week students and staff practiced our first lockdown DRILL, where a uniformed officer comes into the building wearing a bright green vest to represent the threat. Any student or staff member who sees the green vest notifies the closest adult to place the building into lockdown mode for the DRILL. Our students and staff did an excellent job with this, we were secured quickly, an all call announcement is made and 911 is notified of our drill.
This week students will be discussing in their classrooms what to do in an emergency situation if we need to evacuate the building. We have practiced a Fire Drill as a building, this will practice will be evacuating and relocating to our rally point which is just down from Fancher at Rowe Hall.

Medication & Student Medical Needs
Please bring any medication (over the counter or prescription) THIS INCLUDES STUDENT INHALERS, to the front office at Fancher. A signed release form from the student's doctor will need to be submitted, according to school policy. Thank you for your assistance with this.
Transportation Deptartment
Request for Transportation use the form linked here
https://www.mtpleasantschools.net/page/transportationBus routes typically arrive around 8:35am at our school building. If you need to sign your child up for transportation, please fill out REQUEST FOR TRANSPORTATION FORM at the above website.
We ask for your patience the first few days of bus pick-ups as several students were added to routes after back to school open houses. The original time given by the bus driver may be later than expected.
