PBIS is a school-wide system that includes proactive strategies for teaching, modeling, and reinforcing appropriate behavior. Our students have been working hard learning and practicing what it means to be a Disney STAR. They have showing STAR characteristics in the classroom, lunchroom, playground, hallways, and bathrooms.

Our school-wide behavior expectations are for students to Be a Disney STAR:

S – Show Kindness

T – Take Responsibility

A – Always be Safe

R – Respect Others

On Friday, we celebrated our Disney "SUPER" STAR students! These are students that have gone above and beyond and have consistently been a Disney STAR throughout the month of September. On Friday, these students were recognized on our daily announcements and enjoyed a donut breakfast with the principal!

Our lost and found is filling up with a large number of zip-up hoodies and sweatshirts. If your student is missing any items, please have them check the lost and found!

You can help us reduce the number of items in our lost and found by labeling tags and water bottles with your students name. When found, we will return to your child!

All Fraser classroom teachers provide instruction, resources, activities, and assessments to students utilizing the Canvas Learning Management System. As a result, students have continuous access to the course materials and information regarding their achievement.

Parents/Guardians can also have continuous access to their student’s course materials and grades in Canvas by creating a parent/observer account. In addition, parents of multiple students can easily switch between their students to view grades and assignments within the same parent account.

Parents can use Canvas to

• Contact their child’s teacher

• View grades, due dates, and events

• See, and in many cases access, what the child is doing at school

• Support an absent student

• View classroom and building announcements

• And more!

For the first step you will need to have two devices (tablet, laptop, computer or phone) available to be paired. One device will be used to log into your student’s canvas account. The other will be used to create your parent canvas account.

For parents/guardians of students whom are in young fives through 2nd Grade:

A QR code of your students’ username and password will have been sent home. Use your camera function to scan the QR code to access your student’s Canvas Account. If you are having issues with the QR code, contact your teacher or elementary media tech.

For parents/guardians of students whom are in 3rd-6th Grade:

To log in as your student, go to this website (preferably in Chrome, but Safari is okay):

https://www.fraser.k12.mi.us/myfps Click on the icon that says Canvas Student Login.

Your student should know their username and password. If not, contact his or her teacher or your elementary media tech.
