School Communication
Visiting for Lunch?
Due to increased security protocols and limited seating, parents and guardians may join their child during their lunch period up to four times per year per child. Visitors coming for lunch should limit the number of adults to two per visit.
We are excited to allow parents in for lunch. Parent lunches will not begin until Tuesday, September 3rd or after. We will also have to close lunches during testing windows and other school events. If your child has a birthday in the month of August, you will be permitted to visit prior to the Labor Day holiday. We have a list of students who have a birthday in August. Please email Kim Strickland | stricklandk@fortmillschools.org if this applies to your child.
Car Rider Line
When loading or unloading your child in the car rider line, please pull forward as far as possible before coming to a complete stop. Your assistance allows the entire line to operate more efficiently.
