Greetings Findley Community~
Thank you for such a wonderful turnout this morning for our Sing Along! My heart is full of gratitude for this community. ❤️

New Information
Keep Up-to-Date with the Thompson Road realignment project!
UPDATE Closure #2 is Coming!
Thompson Rd between Saltzman and Findley Parking Lot will be closed after Winter Break for approximately 30 days, exact dates to come. Now is the time to think about alternative routes to school. Suggested Detour is noted on this document. More to come after the break.
This month in Technology...
This month, the students focused on improving their typing skills and learning essential tips for staying safe on the internet. These lessons are especially important as we head into winter break, ensuring students stay secure while exploring technology at home.
This month, our Kindergarten students continued exploring the Starfall app on iPads. They’re learning how to navigate and interact with the app while building foundational skills in literacy and numeracy. It’s been wonderful to see their excitement as they explore and learn through play!

Thank you to our Fall Clean-Up Crew! Pack 718

Inclement Weather Information
When we experience inclement weather, school schedules can be affected — either by a delayed start, early release or school cancellation. The district makes decisions based on the ability of:
The district to operate school buses safely.
Students and parents/guardians to drive safely.
Students to walk to schools or bus stops safely.
Staff to get to work safely.
Decisions are made for the entire district. However, we encourage families to make transportation and attendance decisions for their children based on their own assessment of travel conditions at their locations.
School delays or closures are typically communicated by 5:30 a.m. For the latest information:
Check the district website. A page pop-up will be posted if there’s a change in school operations. You also can find inclement weather protocols and snow routes online.
Look for a notification on ParentSquare.
Follow us on the district’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Tune into media outlets for updates.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Spare Clothes
Do you have spare sweats/leggings that your student has outgrown? Our health room could use some more sweats/leggings for our students that get wet for one reason or another. (Kindy & 1st we do recommend that your student carry an extra set of cloths with them to school.)
Please drop off any donations to the office during school hours 8:00am-4:00pm.
Thanks!
