As the colder weather arrives, we want to ensure all students stay safe and comfortable during outdoor recess. At FMES, students will go outside as long as the temperature or wind chill is 20°F or higher. Students may play in the snow only if they are wearing boots; those with regular shoes will need to stay on the blacktop. Please be sure your child comes to school dressed for winter weather—coats, hats, and gloves are essential to staying warm.

Family Focused Holiday

As the holidays approach, we know things can become busy and stressful, but remember to take time to create lasting memories with your families. It doesn’t have to be anything grand or extravagant—small, meaningful moments are often the ones we cherish most. Try a few simple activities over break to begin building those strong memories with your children and family.
