Good afternoon Fonde Family,
Just a few midweek reminders:
Carpool Procedures
Please do not switch lanes during carpool. Our system notifies students which lane to look for their car, and changing lanes causes confusion and poses a safety hazard. For everyone’s safety and efficiency, remain in your assigned lane at all times.
ACAP Practice Test
Students in grades 2–5 will begin important assessments throughout the month of November. The results will help us determine the next steps in your child’s academic growth.
Here are a few key reminders:
Students must be present every day and remain at school for the entire day.
Please ensure your child arrives on time. We have noticed an increase in tardiness. Instruction begins promptly at 7:50 a.m.
Large or non-uniform jackets are not allowed in classrooms or testing rooms.
Electronic devices (including cell phones, laptops, fitness trackers, ear buds, or any device capable of transmitting data) are prohibited in classrooms, buses, and testing rooms.
Any electronic device used on a MCPSS bus or on Fonde’s campus will be confiscated and must be retrieved by a parent or guardian.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support in keeping our students safe and focused on learning!
