Virtual Wellness Resources
FFC8 Families,
As we enter into second semester, FFC8 mental health providers have put together a collection of virtual wellness resources for students and families to use for self-care. There are a variety of resources for children of all ages, from animal cams and coloring sheets, to music and yoga. Please explore these resources with or for your child(ren) or yourselves. Our wellness resource page can be accessed through this link and is also available through the home page at each school as well as the district website.

A Note from the Principal:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Happy New Year! I know we have sent several emails regarding our remote learning week and classroom teachers have sent the Zoom links and formalized schedules. If you are still in need of support, please contact your classroom teacher and/or the school office. We look forward to "seeing" students online this week and in person starting January 19th. Thank you in advance for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Canon, Principal

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL WITH A MASK
A note from our school nurse, Mrs. Porter:
We have students at Patriot who have no immunization records or are missing immunizations. Please contact me or bring in updated ones, that would be greatly appreciated! We will also contact families who need to turn in records.
