Important information regarding the start of our 2023-2024 school year.

Back Packs

Students are allowed to bring their own backpacks from home. FMES will purchase a limited amount of clear backpacks in case a student needs one or if there is a need for one in an instance of safety concerns.

Student Drop Off

We encourage all students to ride the bus this year. Bus drop offs will be utilizing the bus loop located on the North side of the building. Students who missed or did not ride the bus may be dropped off on the East side (main) entrance. Doors will have staff monitoring, however they will be locked to ensure safety measures are adhered to, therefore all dropped off students should be escorted to the door. Staff will be directing traffic throughout the week as we adjust to the changes, so please pay attention to their directions.

Mask Policy

The FMES Safety team has held numerous meetings and based on available data as well as mandates, FMES is adopting an OPTIONAL Mask Policy. If there are safety measures that arise the team will adjust accordingly. FMES will provide any student & staff member with PPE when requested.

2023-2024 FMES Bus Route Schedule

Reminder please be at your pick up location 5 minutes prior to pick up time. FMES is requesting Kindergarten students be accompanied for bus pick up and afternoon drop off.
