FESSENDEN-BOWDON PUBLIC SCHOOL

Announcements for Thursday April 3rd, 2025

Today’s Lunch is Hamburger, Baked Beans

Tomorrow’s Lunch is Egg Salad Sandwich, or PB&J

🎉 Happy Birthday today to Mya Pepple! 

📢 April 2nd Storm Day will not need to be made up as we have more than enough instructional minutes that are required by the state.

📌 Just a reminder that School Board Policy FFI - Student Use of Personal Technology needs to be followed at school, on school grounds and while attending or participating in extracurricular activities. Main points of this policy are:

  • Students cannot use personal technology to photograph or video record any person during the school day.

  • Students cannot transmit photos or videos using personal technology during the school day.

  • Students cannot use personal technology in areas where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy (locker rooms and bathrooms)

Administrators and teachers are able to make exceptions to this rule when needed.
