We have seen an uptick in car-riders so far this school year. More car-riders means more cars; more cars means more traffic; and more traffic means more congestion. WE NEED YOUR HELP to ease congestion on Cumberland road as well as promote student safety in the parking lot. To ease morning congestion, please be sure to pull your vehicle forward to the last speed bump (corner of reflective windows) to allow more cars to drop students at the curb. To ease afternoon congestion, we have opened up both lanes for student pick up. Again, please pull your vehicle forward to the last speed bump, or further, and fill both lanes. If the lanes are full, please DO NOT BLOCK the entrance and pull into the parking lot and find a space -- we want to help our hard working Fishers Police Officers in getting traffic off of Cumberland Road. We ask that you are respectful of the handicap spaces and do not block those spaces. Above all, please help your fellow neighbors by following these few guidelines and making student safety a priority. Thank you all for your assistance as we navigate through these active times of day!

- FJH Admin and FPD.

We look forward to working together in taking care of our school community! Our first meeting is Wednesday, August 25 at 8:00 a.m. in the main office conference room. We'll be meeting in-person at the school with a virtual option for those unable to attend in-person. All parents and guardians of FJH students are welcome to attend. Email fjhchargerspto@gmail.com to be sent the Zoom link. Thank you, Tabbatha Collier, PTO president.

Response-to-Instruction (RtI)

Response to Instruction (RtI) is a general education initiative designed to provide high quality instruction and interventions matched to student needs and using learning rate over time and level of performance to make important educational decisions. The RtI model is based on a three-tiered model of service delivery with a focus on early intervention and prevention of academic and behavioral concerns. Data collected during this process provides valuable information regarding students’ educational progress and response to interventions. Students who do not demonstrate a response to well-implemented, scientifically-based interventions at the Tier 3 level would be referred for an educational evaluation to determine eligibility for special education. RtI is a component of HSE’s Child Find Process.

Please remember to send your student to school healthy. If a student is ill and has any of the symptoms of Covid listed below, we encourage you to get your student tested using a PCR test, which is available via Fishers Health Department (COVID Vaccine | Fishers, IN - Official Website) or the Indiana Department of Health (ISDH - Novel Coronavirus: COVID-19 Testing Information). PCR tests are the most accurate and provide less risk of a false positive or negative result. A visit to your physician is also suggested if you feel this is not Covid-related, then a doctor's note would be needed for your student to return to school. Please do not send your child to school ill or while waiting for Covid test results.
