The Fox Flier

Fall break is right around the corner! We will celebrate Thanksgiving this Friday by hosting our annual Thanksgiving Lunch. This year, we will be welcoming over 530 guests! Our kitchen staff led by our kitchen manager, Robin Kiesling, have worked hard to ensure everyone has a wonderful time and a delicious meal! Those who have pre-purchased a meal ticket will be greeted by our Student Council representatives and escorted to the cafeteria a few minutes before their lunch time begins. Guests are welcome to enjoy some fresh air and recess or visit the Farley Book Fair after lunch. If you plan to take your child home after lunch, please make sure to sign them out in the office before leaving.

The Farley staff is THANKFUL for you, our amazing and supportive school community and families. May your blessings be many, your troubles be few and your Thanksgiving be wonderful!

We are so excited to offer several after school enrichment opportunities for our students this year! Over 150 students are choosing to extend their school day with us to explore new hobbies, learn new skills, and interact with peers! Some clubs are year-long while some will change each quarter. Thank you to the staff willing to work late to provide our students these opportunities!

12 Book Challenge (all ages)

This month there is a Donut 12 Book Challenge. Forms are due by December 3rd. The donuts will be in the library the morning of December 6th. If your child has a food allergy and cannot eat a plain glazed donut from Hyvee please write that on the form when it is returned. The link will take you to the form to print at home. Forms can be picked up in the library or printed HERE.

Book Fair

Our book fair will continue through Friday! Money can be sent to school with your child or can join your child and shop together Thursday evening until 6:30 or Friday during the Thanksgiving Lunch.

If you'd like to order a 23-24 yearbook, you can order HERE. This year all the sales will be directly through Jostens.

Thank you for helping us make arrival and dismissal effective and efficient!

Arrival - Please remember to use the left arrival lane if your child can exit the car quickly without any assistance. The right lane will be used for students who need assistance or will take a bit longer to exit their vehicle. Farley staff are on duty from 8:20 until 8:40. After 8:40, drop off will be at the flagpole and students will enter the front doors.

Dismissal - We begin car rider dismissal at 3:40. Thanks to parents having car numbers clearly displayed and following our car rider line procedures, we have decreased the time needed to get all students safely in their cars. That translates to more instructional time!
