As you may know, this year has brought an exceptional number of indoor recess days. While we do our best to keep students engaged and entertained, we could use your help to make indoor recess even better! We are asking for donations of new or gently used board games, card games, and other activities that will help keep our students engaged during recess. Games like UNO and similar options are especially popular among the kids. If you’re able to contribute, please send your donation to the middle school office. We truly appreciate your generosity in helping make recess more fun for everyone! Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community. https://5il.co/360rp

Happy Friday! It's been a great Start with Hello week. Start with Hello is a bullying prevention program we use at Fort Frye Local Schools. We have had some very meaningful conversations this week. The Friday Focus is attached as well as information about Box Tops. The middle school PTO set up a box top account! It is extremely easy and you don't have to cut anymore. It's a great way to raise money for our school. https://5il.co/2xopk https://5il.co/2xopj Parent teacher conferences are next Thursday. We do not send conference papers home with students as papers rarely make it home. It's easy to set up a conference with a teacher or a group of teachers. Call Kelli Walsh at 740-984-2376 ext. 1230 or email her at kelli.walsh@fortfrye.org and she will get you scheduled. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! https://5il.co/2xp0c

COVID guidelines have changed this year. We are now treating it like a respiratory illness. The Ohio Department of Health recommends we follow CDC guidelines. These recommended guidelines say: They should be 24 hours fever free without the use of fever-reducing medication (ibuprofen, tylenol, etc) AND Symptoms should be improving It is recommended that when they return, they wear a mask, but again not required. Therefore, we will not be using the COVID Exempt code this year. Instead it will be parent excused days or medical excused days if they have a note from a doctors office. Below is the link to the CDC website where the information can be found. https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/prevention/precautions-when-sick.html
