Back-to-School resource guide
We can't wait to welcome everyone back for the 2022-2023 school year!
School starts for all Pre K-12 students on Monday, Aug. 22. To help families get prepared for the upcoming school year, we've compiled a back-to-school resource guide in one spot. Families can find school supply lists, bus information, academic calendar and more. More detailed information will come from your schools. We are excited to start the new school year!
School supplies
Missouri's Sales Tax Holiday is August 5-7, 2022. Certain back-to-school purchases, such as clothing, school supplies, and computers, may be exempt from sales tax during the holiday. For more information, visit the Missouri Department of Revenue website. Get a head start on your back-to-school shopping! School supply lists for the 2022-2023 school year can be found by clicking the button below.
Free breakfast and lunch continue for the 2022-23 school year
All FFSD students at all schools will continue to receive free meals during the 2022-23 school year. Because FFSD participates in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program, we have been able to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students regardless of need or income since 2014. No action is required from families and we are excited to continue offering delicious and nutritious meals to our students.
All students in grades 6-12 will receive a clear bookbag for the 2022-23 school year
Thanks to funding from the Gun Violence Prevention grant , the District is able to purchase all students in grades 6-12 a clear bookbag for the 2022-23 school year. More information will come from your child's school on bookbag distribution.
As part of the District’s comprehensive safety and security plan, all secondary students are required to have clear bookbags. The safety and security plan called CUBES stands for clear Communication, clear Understanding, clear Bookbags, clear Expectations, and clear Supports.
Bookbag requirement for grades 6-12:
- Clear Bookbags ( 16 in. tall x 12 in. wide x 6 in deep)
- Small pouch/wristlet for personal items if needed (5.5 in. x 4 in. and does not have to be clear)
Student purchased bookbags must meet the following specifications:
- The bookbag must be at least 16 inches tall X 12 inches wide X 6 inches deep
- The bookbag must be completely clear, with the exception of the straps, zippers, and small manufacturer label
- Transparent but tinted or opaque bookbags are not permitted
- Logos, stickers, or other attachments that obstruct the view into the bookbag are not permitted
- Mesh may only cover a side pouch but may not cover the whole bookbag
- No bookbag or bag may be worn under a coat or jacket
