SEPTEMBER 18, 2023
Dear Families,
Last week our Lockdown Drill went well, and the Police Department, District Leadership, and Fire Department were pleased with the Southwood Glen drill response. This week we will be doing our Safe Haven Drill. We ask that students wear comfortable shoes this week as we will be walking to our Safe Haven location.
Yours in education,
Bridget Mowbray

FHS ATHLETIC EVENTS REMINDER FOR YOUNGER FANS
As a reminder for our high school athletic events, students from the elementary and middle school attending any FHS athletic events must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/caregiver. Students that come to the event without an accompanying parent/guardian/caregiver will not be admitted to the event. Students who need redirection regarding their behavior at any FHS athletic events will be brought back to their parent/guardian/caregiver. Thank you for helping us do what we can to keep our events enjoyable for all fans and focused on the athletic endeavors of our players.
Bus Requests
Now that we are into the school year and regular busing routines are being established, we want to share details with families on what to expect regarding busing moving forward.
If any changes are needed to your child’s busing or you are looking to add busing for a child that currently does not ride the bus, those requests must be made through this Bus Route Change/Addition Request Form.
In regards to requests, please first review the Administrative Rules for FPS School Board Policy #3720 - Student Transportation. These rules are written in an effort to keep structure and safety for all of our students and we follow these rules when reviewing requests.
In partnership with GO Riteway, we do our best to establish bus stops following these administrative rules and requests for a stop immediately in front of a home may not be honored due to a variety of factors.
We are not able to honor requests to bus a student from one school to another for extracurricular activities.
If you have any concerns with your child’s transportation, please continue to contact Heidi Engel, FPS Auxiliary Services Coordinator (414-525-7634). She is working with GO Riteway to respond to family needs.
