Welcome to Frankfort Elementary!
From the Principal's Desk
Week of November 11th:
Dear Elementary Parents and Guardians,
It certainly appears that winter has arrived. I thought there was supposed to an autumn in there somewhere, but here we go. Please make sure your child brings outdoor recess clothing each day--coat, hat, mittens/gloves, snow pants, and boots. If your child doesn't have boots, he/she will be asked to stand on the concrete part of the playground--wet feet all afternoon are no fun. Please notify the elementary office if you are unable to provide winter outdoor clothing. We will do our best to help!
Quarter 1 report cards were mailed on Friday, November 8. They should be arriving soon to your mailbox.
Reminders for the coming week:
- The Elementary Holiday Program has changed one day, to December 19, at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Preschool students are only participating in the afternoon performance this year; the K-6 performance is both at 1 p.m. and at 7 p.m. The change has been noted on the school calendar; please note the changes on yours. More information will be forthcoming from the elementary classrooms and office.
- We have a late start on Wednesday, November 13. School will begin at 9:30. Buses run on the late schedule. Breakfast will be served at 9:10.
- Be sure your students has his/her appropriate outdoor clothing for recess. (See first note).
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns about FES. Have a wonderful week!
Best,
Anne

Late Start Wednesday Information
Preschool students will attend at their regular time as they do not have a late start.
Busses will run 1 hour and 25 minutes later than the regular school day.
Breakfast will be served at both at the elementary and classes begin at 9:30 a.m.
The building will be open at 7:55 a.m. if students need to arrive earlier than 9:15 a.m. Remind your elementary child to use the main entrance off of M-22 and to check-in at the office if arrival is before 9:15 a.m. each Wednesday.
If you plan on dropping your elementary child off earlier than 9:15 a.m. please call the elementary office at 231-352-7601 to assure we have enough staff to supervise students that need care prior to 9:15 a.m.
In order to protect our students with life-threatening allergies, FEAS has instituted a nut-resistant policy. Please refrain from bringing food products containing peanuts, tree nuts or tree oils in lunches or as snacks. If a product has been manufactured in a facility that handles nuts, but the product itself does not contain nuts, that product is acceptable to bring. Thank you for your help in providing a safe environment for our students.
