Friendly Friday Update

The weekly newsletter for the FHMS Community - 12/15/23

Mr. Hiti's Message

The end of second quarter is right around the corner when we come back from winter break. The quarter ends on January 24th, and now would be a good time to check your students' missing work, and grades. Winter break provides an excellent opportunity to get some work completed and turned in.

Winter break would also be an excellent time to get some reading done, especially on books that are of high interest. A gift card to a local bookstore would be an excellent way to encourage your student to read and give them a chance to pick out something they would be interested in reading about. The Friendly Friday Update will return on December 29th, enjoy your winter break!

A Note from the Nurse Regarding Immunizations

Dear families, if your child is non-compliant on immunizations, you would have been contacted by letter and Talking Points by the Nursing staff. This information is required by Minnesota State law. Either turn in the missing immunizations or you can also submit a notarized a conscientious exemption form for the health office to have on file. A final letter will be mailed out next week and if the Nurses do not have the information before Winter Break your child will not be able to return to school until we have the necessary information.
