Wednesday, October 2nd, is our official fall student Count Day. This is an important day for Fraser Public Schools, as our state revenue is based on our Wednesday’s enrollment number. While there are procedures we can follow that allow us to count students who must be absent on Wednesday, we encourage families to make every effort for students to be present in school. If your student is unable to attend school on October 2nd, please call in the absence to our attendance office at

(586) 439-7292.

We are excited to embark on the creation of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan—a roadmap that will shape the next five years of excellence in Fraser Public Schools. This plan will continue to focus on our strong traditions of excellence by staying committed to our core values and beliefs - Innovate, Learn, Lead.

To ensure this plan reflects the needs and aspirations of all stakeholders, we are launching a community survey to gather input. The survey will remain open through October 1st, and we encourage all families, staff, students, and community members to share their thoughts. This is your chance to help shape the future of Fraser Public Schools, and we want to hear from you!

In addition, we will be holding a Community & Parent Meeting to kick off the strategic planning process on October 1 at 6 pm in the Fraser High School Media Center.

At Fraser High School, excellence extends beyond academics, and each week, exceptional students are recognized for embodying core values that define character and community. Nominated by their dedicated teachers, the Students of the Week stand out in areas such as Respect, Integrity, Self-discipline, or Engagement. These remarkable individuals not only excel in their studies but also demonstrate a profound commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive school environment. Their actions inspire their peers, creating a ripple effect of positivity and setting a shining example for the entire Fraser High School community. This week's students of the week are:

Dear Fraser Families,

With an effort to make this an enjoyable experience for all participants and spectators, we are implementing new guidelines for the remaining home varsity football games.

1. FHS Students must scan into the football games with their student ID and must meet attendance requirements (3 or less tardies in a week) to enter the game at no charge. If a student scans red they must pay $5 to enter.
2. FPS Elementary and Middle School students must be chaperoned by a parent or guardian to enter the stadium.
3. Middle School students should have their student ID with them at the ticket booth.
4. Students may not bring in outside food or drinks into the stadium.
5. Students may not bring backpacks into the stadium.
6. No outside balls or noise makers that are not pre-approved by administration
7. Students are expected to sit in the bleachers and not walk around the Stadium or gather in common areas
8. Students are not to sit or walk to Visiting Bleachers
9. No standing on the fence line of bleachers to avoid obstructing view and exits
10. In the event that a student is asked to leave the football game, the parent or the guardian will be asked to take that student home.
11. Once students leave the stadium gates, they will not be permitted to re-enter.

As always, the safety of our staff, students and families remains our top priority. These additional measures will support our students in making good choices and create a safe environment for all to enjoy the event.

We encourage our families to take advantage of these athletic events. We can come together with our school community and reconnect with family and friends. Fraser is a special place and our athletic events allow our community to celebrate the rich history and tradition of our schools. These updated safety and support guidelines will be used for all Fraser High School athletic events moving forward.

With Fraser Pride,

The Fraser High School counselors met with the senior class this past Tuesday to discuss important information regarding senior year and post-secondary options. We have attached the presentation for parents and any students that were unable to attend during SMART. This presentation includes college fee waiver codes available during the month of October. We have also attached the senior year timeline.

At our College Night for Senior Families, Oakland University presented information on the FAFSA requirements and resources for paying for college. Please see the attached presentation. If you were unable to attend, Oakland University will also be hosting live webinars during the month of October. Please visit the link below for more information.

Hello Parents/Guardians of Juniors and Seniors,

As you are aware, Fraser High School offers open-campus privileges for qualifying students during SMART hour. We will be opening this privilege up to seniors and juniors on Monday, October 7th. The criteria and protocols for students regarding open-campus are listed below:

• Students MUST have an 80% (or earning credit in a CR/NC class) in all classes.

• Students must not have more than 3 tardy/UNV in the previous week.

• Students MUST have their student ID.

• Students cannot leave if they have been denied by an administrator for discipline reasons.

• If students decide to not leave they must stay in their class and operate under normal school policies.

• Students may only exit from the Main Office or the Klein doors. Failure to do so will be considered skipping.

• Students’ parents/guardians must fill out the parent consent form to give permission. If parents/guardians have filled this out previously, then there is no need to fill it out again.

Here is the link to the form: http://bit.ly/fhsopencampus

• This privilege can be revoked for any reason by parent/guardian, teacher, or administrator.

• Parents/guardians will be notified via email when their child enters and exits the building.

Also, students must check in with their SMART teacher and show their grades to their SMART teacher before leaving.

If you have questions regarding this process please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Ryan D. SInes, Ed.S.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to AP Baker's Office at 586-439-7280.

As we look forward to another school year, please take a moment to review the process that we have in place for traffic flow in our parking lots, so that everyone can enter and exit as quickly and efficiently as possible.

• If you live in our bussing area, please have your child take the bus.
• If you need to drop your student off, please try to do so before 7:10. There is very little waiting at that time.
• Please use the Klein road parking lot for drop off. This parking lot is usually much less congested.
• If you use the Garfield parking lot, please pull to the curb to drop your child off, and then proceed down past the main entrance before turning left to get in line to exit. Please do not use the parking lanes before the main entrance to enter the exit line.

Thank you for your help and support.

Ryan D. Sines, Ed.S.

A message from Transportation:

Bus routes for this year are posted on our website. Please make sure to check this as we have consolidated some routes for this year due to ongoing driver shortages and your stop may have changed from last year.

Also, with several construction projects in the area, our buses may be slightly off our scheduled times. Please continue to have your students at the bus stop 10 minutes before their scheduled time.

As in past years, we will be helping Fraser families with basic needs (food, paper products, and hygiene supplies) from our on-site pantry.

If you would like to donate items to the pantry at any time throughout the year, we would be so grateful for your contribution. Here is a "Wish List" for the pantry if you would like some ideas, but any contribution is very much appreciated.

Please drop off donations to the Fraser High School Main Office --ATTN: Stephanie McClain

If you and your family are in need of food assistance at any time, please reach out to your child's counselor, and we would be happy to help!

Athletic Booster Club is looking for volunteers to help with the Fall Craft Show on Saturday, October 19th being held at Fraser HS. If you would like to volunteer, use the link below to sign up.
