Dear Fryelands Families,

Fryelands Kindness Week - January 18th-21st

• We will have a Fryelands Food Drive all next week

• We will learn about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy

• We will promote kindness and “bucket-filling”

• We will share kind messages with each other

• We will celebrate our school diversity

Stamina and Routines

• We are slowly building our stamina after the winter break

• To build stamina we need to make sure our children are getting to sleep early and at the same time each night.

• Children ages 3-11 need between 10-12 hours of sleep

• To build stamina they need to eat breakfast

• Breakfast is FREE for every student, every day in our district; breakfast starts at 8:35am in our cafeteria

• Morning routines are so important for children and adults. Make a schedule with your child with pictures and/or words of the morning routine. It will become their habit.

COVID Protocols and Preventions

• Our best preventions for COVID are Masks Up over our noses, Hand Washing frequently, and Physical Distancing from others as best we can.

• If an adult or other family member in your home has symptoms and is getting tested, PLEASE keep your child home from school until the test results are in. If the results are positive then your child is a “close contact” and needs to be home quarantined. If they come to school and then become positive, then they are potentially exposing others.

• Frequently Asked Questions about COVID19 Our district website has a COVID-19 page that includes the Latest Updates.

Morning Procedures

Parents, please follow these procedures when dropping students off in the morning. THANKS!

• No right turns onto Fryelands Blvd. (this backs up the car drop off area and crosswalk area)

• The service road just south of the school is not a drop off point (it is for small buses and transitional kindergarten only)

We ask that children do not arrive before 8:35 a.m., as supervision is not provided. Our school hours are 8:55 a.m.-3:25 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8:55 a.m.-2:25 p.m. on Fridays.

• A bell rings at 8:35 a.m. for students to come in for breakfast

• A bell rings at 8:45 a.m. for all students to come into school at their designated entrance

• A bell rings at 8:55 a.m. for the start of school, students are tardy after this time

• Tardy students need to come to the front door and office for a pass to class

Thank you for bringing your students to school on time and prepared for learning each day. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at presleyj@monroe.wednet.edu or at 360-804-3400.

Sincerely,

Jeff Presley

Through the MPSF grant process, we were able to purchase books from High Noon to help add interesting and engaging text at accessible student reading levels. Students and teachers can borrow these books from the Learning LAB. Some of the new additions to our collection include field trip mysteries, secret spies, and extreme sports! Ask Mrs. Llanes to help you find a just right book for you!

Thank you MPSF!!!
