🚑 Fessenden-Bowdon Students Learn Lifesaving Skills! ❤️
Today, students in grades K-6 had the incredible opportunity to learn hands-only CPR from the Fessenden Ambulance team! Through hands-on practice and expert guidance, these young learners gained valuable knowledge about responding to emergencies and helping others in need.

Fessenden-Bowdon Public School is committed to providing high-quality instruction for all students. To support our teachers in learning new teaching practices and improving their skills, we currently utilize early release days once a month for professional development. We understand that any change to the school day can impact families, and we strive to find the option that best balances the needs of our students, teachers, and families.
For next school year, we are considering a change to late start days instead of early release. This would mean that school would begin 1 1/2 hours later than usual (10:30 am instead of 8:30 am) one day each month. This dedicated time for teacher professional development is crucial for improving the quality of education your children receive.
We appreciate your feedback on this potential change.
