A Message from the Principal
A Message from the Principal As a favor to me and for the safety and efficiency in our drop off loop, please pull all the way forward and let your children walk to your car. No driver should ever leave their car in the loop. When dropping off in the morning, children should be ready to pop out without the need of a parent getting out of the car as well. I am sure you've seen our awesome safety patrol students in the loop this last week! They are there to open and close doors, greet and say good bye to students, and help our staff keep traffic moving. Please be aware of the Safety Patrol and help them be successful in this new leadership role. Thank you to EVERYONE who follows our parking lot rules. Your patience, conscientiousness, and consistency are life savers! Ms. Baichtal

Canine Concerns We need to make all families aware of a District Insurance/Safety Policy that we must uphold at Fiddyment Farm. Personal pets are not allowed at school sites. This means your child may not bring in their pet for sharing and families may not bring their adorable pets to school when they drop off or pick up their children. We are all dog/pet lovers, so this policy is hard of all of us too! Thanks for your understanding.
