Just a reminder about dismissal for grades PK–4
- Students will be dismissed in three groups: bus riders, parent pickup, and walk/daycare.
- 3:28pm: Bus students will be walked out and loaded onto buses. Parent pickup students will exit Door 10 with an adult to meet their parents.
** To help dismissal run smoothly, parents will not be allowed into the building between 3:25–3:35pm. After 3:35pm, you may come in to see a teacher, stop by the office, or pick something up.
- 3:35pm: Walkers and daycare students will be dismissed, after buses have departed to reduce traffic.
** If your child’s after-school plan changes, please contact the office by 2:30pm so we can get the message to their teacher.
A peek into last week’s learning at Fessenden-Bowdon!
- Kindergarten explored rhythm with boomwhackers during library time. Ms. Dietz is incorporating music education for our elementary students.
- 5th/6th graders designed maps with legends and scales and experimented with mass, recording their observations.
- Construction Tech students completed the new fence at the Wells County Fairgrounds.
- Creative Writing students used sensory details from the outdoors to inspire their writing.
- Humanities students learned origami and created some fun designs.
So much great learning happening inside and outside our walls! Check back on Friday for more highlights!
