Fire Marshall News
Based on recent feedback from our fire marshal & indoor air quality consultant, we need to abide by the following rules:
Lights - Holiday lighting and strings of lights- 30 days max length of time, then must remove
Electrical cords - Cannot be daisy chained (one plugged into another) used only as temporary (one day) I have seen some taped to the floor. Others run behind furniture which tells me they are not temporary. Commercial 3 prong cords in good repair only, NO 2 wire cheap ones allowed at anytime
Heaters - NOT ALLOWED AT ALL! Remove immediately
Personal Appliances - Remove all personal appliances. Examples are refrigerators, microwaves, pizza ovens, coffee makers, toasters, fans, lamps, crock pots, etc…. Any appliance used must not say “For household use only”. Special occasions where these would be allowed on a limited use are a lounge luncheon type of event. The district will be purchasing toasters or toaster ovens for each lounge in the next month or so, after which all toasters will need to be disposed of.
Wall Hangings - Hallways walls are limited to 20% coverage. Classroom walls are limited to 50% Items cannot hang from other parts of the room. Only walls allowed.
Door Coverings - Decorating/ covering of doors are limited to 50% of each side of each door. A door must look like a door at all times
NO LIVE TREES
Live Plants - Take all plants home
Any kind of Air Fresheners are not allowed - Examples are Scentsy pots, glade plug ins, sprays, candles, etc…
Open Flames - Anything with an open flame is not allowed

Remind app
If you haven't downloaded the Remind App please do so. Remind is available for staff and students on the iPads. Parents can download it on their devices. It is a great communication tool. With Remind you can text families, attach PDFs, website links, pictures, and more. Remind will translate for families. We will be encouraging all students and parents to sign up.
Please join @FMSteachers and @FMSnews if you want to see what we send out to parents. We will be providing more tips and tricks for using Remind in the future. Your Digital Learning coaches can help too!

A reminders from the A.D.
Staff,
Now that we have entered the winter months – please remember that an extra pair of shoes needs to be brought to the fitness center to workout. Shoes that are worn outside can bring the sand, salt and snow into the fitness center and can cause damage to the equipment and facility. Thanks for your help on keeping this clean during winter!
