Teachers talk about their “hopes” for the new year!
Great First Week!
Thank you for an outstanding first week! Our students are settling in and have made quick work of finding their way around the school to make it to classes on time. We are excited to share in just 4 days, we have already seen the benefits of Away for the Day - our halls are filled with the sounds of students talking to each other and we love it! As with any new policy, we have some things to continue to work on, but so far the kids are doing a great job. Thank you for your support and help in making this first week a smooth start to a wonderful school year.
Free and Reduced Meals
The Free and Reduced Meals Application is now online. Families must re-apply every year to receive this service. More information and a link to the application can be found at: https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/food-and-nutrition-programs/free-and-reduced-price-meals. Please also complete the consent to share information (section 4 of the application) as this can allow the school to waive course fees and receive reduced fees for other activities. If families do not re-apply their number will be inactivated in early October.
Food For Neighbors
Food For Neighbors is an all-volunteer organization committed to helping local teens struggling with hunger. Last year, we were able to provide over 1500 weekend snack packs for Springfield area middle and high school students. If your student needs a snack pack (soup/pasta, crackers, granola bar, oatmeal, fruit snack and milk/juice) for the weekend, please email Meg Gollinger at magollinger@fcps.edu. There are several ways you can help with this organization:
- With your support, we can reach even more students in need. Participation is as simple as filling a Food For Neighbors Red Bag once every other month and putting it on your porch on our pick up days. We provide the bags, a desired food list, and pick-up date reminder texts. Our first collection for this school year is September 7. If you would like to donate food, please register as a Red Bag Donor today at: https://www.foodforneighbors.org/red-bag-program/
- If you would like to volunteer on September 7th to help sort the food that is collected, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0D45AFAC29A5FC1-food10
- If you are unable to volunteer, but would like to donate food or drinks to those sorting the food, please sign up here.
Thanks for helping us provide food to students who need that extra support!
