Dear Falcon Families,
We recently completed a Risk & Vulnerability Assessment of our campus. We are happy to share that the evaluation showed we are doing a great job in many areas of school safety. At the same time, we believe there is always room for improvement when it comes to protecting our students and staff.
As part of our continued efforts to strengthen safety and consistency, we are reinforcing the following procedures:
All parents and visitors must check in at the main office upon arrival. This has always been our expectation; however, we have had instances where this step was skipped. Moving forward, this procedure must be followed every time.
Please do not go directly to your child’s classroom unless you have been directed to do so by the office.
All visitors will be required to sign in while on campus.
These steps are not about inconvenience. They are about protection. School safety depends on consistent procedures, and safety will always be more important than convenience.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue working to provide a safe and secure environment for every student. Thank you for partnering with us to keep Friend School safe.
Thank you!

Breakfast: Blueberry muffins
Lunch: Popcorn chicken, scalloped potatoes, fruit, and a Rice Krispie treat
Thank you for your support and flexibility during the winter weather. We look forward to welcoming everyone back!
Dear Friend School Families,
Due to continued road conditions, Friend School will have a virtual learning day. For our second day of distance learning, students should complete a second activity in each subject area column on the choice board unless their teacher provides different instructions. Students should also read for at least 20 minutes.
All completed assignments should be brought back to school when we return for grading and attendance purposes.
We know this is not ideal, but this plan helps keep students engaged and safe while still allowing time to enjoy the snow. If you need anything, please reach out through Class Dojo or email. Teachers will be available from 7:40 AM to 3:20 PM to support students.
Thank you for your support and for helping us make the best of this snowstorm!
