Volunteers and Visitors for Lunch
TN Attendance Law Changes for 2021-2022
A Few Additional Announcements
- Beginning Monday, Aug. 16, if you do not have a FIS car tag when picking up your child, you will need to park in the parking lot and walk to the cafeteria. We will no longer be checking IDs in the car circle as this slows down the process for everyone.
- If your child forgot their lunch, water bottle, or homework, you may drop it off between 8:30 and 10:00 on the white table at the front entrance of the school. Sticky notes and pens are provided on the table for you to write your child's name, grade level, and teacher.
- Students will not be dismissed early after 2:15.
- A written note must be sent to your child's teacher on any day that your child will have a change in how he or she goes home.
