Fugett Flash

Please note that unlike elementary school, middle school conferences are not scheduled for every child. Our Counseling Department will work with our grade level teams to identify the students/families for which this type of meeting will be crucial to their academic achievement.

Parents who have not been contacted, but wish to have a team conference, may do so by completing a request via Signup Genius using the specific Grade and Team links below. If you need language or physical accommodations please schedule as soon as possible.

Conferences will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Families will be notified of their confirmed conference time and Zoom link (if needed) when they sign up online. In middle school we find it extremely beneficial to have students attend their conference, so please have your child accompany you to the conference, in person or virtually.

Dear Coaches, Players, Parents and Guardians,

Winter sports will begin in November for Girls Basketball and Wrestling. Boys Basketball will

begin in December. Coaches will be providing more information to students prior to tryouts

and practices.

● Depending on the sport and the number of students interested, tryouts may take place

before practices begin.

● Practices will be held each day after school (weather permitting).

● Coaches will announce practice times and distribute schedules to teams once practices

begin.

● PIAA physicals (must dated after June 1, 2023) must be uploaded into Family ID for

your son/daughter to continue to participate in winter sports. If a student is interested

in a winter sport and played a 2023 fall sport with their PIAA physical already in

FamilyID, simply register for the spring sport.

West Chester East DECA is hosting an online Holiday Store from now until November 15th. All orders will be placed online and then shipped to the home of the customer in time for the holidays, hence the Nov. 15th cutoff. A $2 markup has been added to each item as a fundraiser for East DECA. East DECA is an organization for students with an interest in varying areas of business. DECA students participate in competition, community service, and leadership activities.

Students talked about self-care behaviors for physical and mental well-being. Goals were made to increase self-care into daily routines.

Dining Night Out

Our next dining night out will be next Thursday, November 16th, from 4-8 pm at Panera West Chester. See the flyer for more information.

Recess Games

Last month, the PTO purchased two sets of Adirondack chairs and a shed for the students to enjoy in the Fugett Courtyard. We are hoping to stock the shed with some outdoor/lawn games for the students to use during their outdoor time post lunch. If you have any gently used lawn games you are looking to donate, or a favorite family game you are willing to purchase, please drop them at the main office. We appreciate it!

Parent Lunch/Recess Volunteers

Speaking of recess, the Fugett Admin, along with the PTO, are hoping to get two parent volunteers to help out during the students lunch and outside recess time. Volunteers must have all of their up to date clearances. Sign ups will be through the PTO Website, so if you haven't created an account yet please do so (and check out the directory and calendar of events too). The signups will go live tomorrow at 5:00 pm. We are going to post the slots one month at a time. Please only sign up for 2 slots to start, to give everyone an opportunity to sign up.

Please wait until 7:00 to let children out of the car. We have staff ready to welcome students every morning, but this role does not start until 7:00.

To serve you better, families may drop off and/or pick up East and Fugett students at either building, as long at you are using the typical drop off/pick up location.

We understand that backpacks may serve a dual purpose over the weekend, but any items in violation of the WCASD Discipline Manual will result in student disciplinary outcomes.
