Eagle Press

Our Eisenhower Fun Run is off to a fantastic start! Thank you to all of our students, families, and friends who have already donated and helped raise funds for our school. We are so grateful for your support—every dollar raised makes a difference for our Eisenhower students!

We have already raised an amazing $4,890 toward our $15,000 goal! That means we are nearly one-third of the way there!

Let’s keep the momentum going! Continue sharing our Fun Run with grandparents, extended family, friends, neighbors, and others who would love to support our students. Every contribution, big or small, helps us get closer to our goal and allows us to continue providing special opportunities and experiences for our students throughout the year.

Great job, Eisenhower! Together We SOAR!

Red Ribbon Week: October 23–31

2026 Theme: “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.™”

Red Ribbon Week is a time for schools and families to encourage healthy, positive choices. At Eisenhower, our celebration will begin Monday, September 28 and continue throughout October, leading up to a week of activities from October 26–30.

Wear Red Mondays: Students are encouraged to wear red on September 28 and October 5, 12, 19, and 26. We’ll also share Red Ribbon announcements on those days.

Learning and activities: In HEART classes, students will discuss healthy habits and positive choices and make a pledge to live drug free. Students in grades 1–6 will complete the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs unit during October. All students and staff will receive red awareness bracelets to wear during Red Ribbon Week. Each school day from October 26–30, five students wearing their bracelets will be randomly selected to win a prize—25 winners in all!

Spirit days, October 26–30. -SEE BELOW...

Poster contest: Students in grades 4–6 may choose to create a Red Ribbon poster. HEART teachers will collect entries, and winning posters from each grade will be displayed in the district during November.

Thank you for helping our students make healthy choices and celebrate Red Ribbon Week!

Here are some helpful directions for setting up a parent Canvas account and information on logging into Clever. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Eisenhower media tech, Mrs. Holtyn - Regina.Holtyn@FraserK12.org.

Below are the directions for pairing as a Parent Observer with your students’ Canvas account.

• Parents can use Canvas to

• Contact their child’s teacher

• View grades, due dates, and events

• See, and in many cases access, what the child is doing at school

• Support an absent student

• View classroom and building announcements

• And more!

For the first step you will need to have two devices (tablet, laptop, computer or phone) available to be paired. One device will be used to log into your student’s canvas account. The other will be used to create your parent canvas account.

For parents/guardians of students whom are in young fives through 2nd Grade:

A QR code of your students’ username and password will have been sent home. Use your camera function to scan the QR code to access your student’s Canvas Account. If you are having issues with the QR code, contact your teacher or elementary media tech.

For parents/guardians of students whom are in 3rd-6th Grade:

To log in as your student, go to this website (preferably in Chrome, but Safari is okay):

https://www.fraser.k12.mi.us/myfps

Click on the icon that says Canvas Student Login.

Your student should know their username and password. If not, contact his or her teacher or your elementary media tech.

We are excited to have CARE support our school’s Red Ribbon Month activities by providing their “Dispelling Myths and Revealing Facts on Vaping” presentation to each of our 6th grade classes.

The presentations will take place during HEART classes during the month of October and will complement our Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Unit. This educational opportunity is designed to provide students with accurate, age-appropriate information to help them make informed and healthy choices.

Topics addressed during the presentation will include:

• The ingredients and substances found in vaping products

• Understanding nicotine and the risks of addiction

• The potential health and social impacts of vaping

We appreciate CARE’s partnership in supporting our students through education and prevention and look forward to this meaningful learning opportunity during Red Ribbon Month.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for All Students!

Michigan is continuing its commitment to providing free breakfast and lunch to all students during the 2026–27 school year!

While meals are free for all students, we still encourage every family to complete the Education Benefits Form: https://fraser.familyportal.cloud/. Completing the form helps Fraser receive additional funding and resources that support all students and schools.

Meal reminder: A required component of a complete breakfast and lunch is ½ cup of fruit or vegetables, which must be taken with the meal for it to be free of charge.

Find menus, meal information, and more details about what qualifies as a free meal on our website, https://www.fraser.k12.mi.us/programs/food-service.

You can find the food service menus HERE along with other helpful information. August and September menus are listed below as well.

If your child has specific medical needs, please reach out to the main office prior to the start of school. In order to administer medication, consent forms must be completed. Consent forms for prescription medications must include dosage and frequency information signed by a physician. Medication, including inhalers, must be stored in the main office and not in backpacks or pockets. In addition, if your child has a medical plan, it will need to be updated for the 26-27 school year.

Please find medication forms linked below for your convenience.

As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, we want to share the student cell phone and personal device expectations in Fraser Public Schools.

In accordance with state law and Fraser Public Schools policy, students may not use personal wireless communication devices during the school day while on school grounds. This is consistent with our past practices at the elementary buildings.

What does this mean for elementary students?

Students may bring a device to school, but it must remain turned off, stored away, and out of sight during the school day. This includes cell phones, smartwatches and smart glasses, earbuds and headphones, personal tablets and any device that can text, call, access the internet, take photos or videos, send email, or provide entertainment.

Are there exceptions?

Yes. Exceptions may be made for medically necessary devices, school-issued devices, approved instructional use and IEP or 504 accommodations.

What happens if a student has a device out?

If a student has a device out during instructional time, they will be asked to put it away. If needed, staff may secure the device in a designated, secure location until the end of the school day.

Discipline will not be issued simply because a student has a device out. Consequences may be assigned if a student refuses to follow the expectation or repeatedly fails to comply with the policy. Our goal is to respond in a safe, reasonable, and consistent manner while helping students develop responsible technology habits.

How can families help?

We ask for your partnership as we make this transition. Before the school year begins, please talk with your student about keeping personal devices put away during the school day and the importance of following staff directions.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to provide a focused, safe, and positive learning environment for every Fraser student.

We want to partner with our families to make our school a safe, healthy and welcoming environment for your students.

Make sure to send your child to school if they are generally healthy and able to participate in their usual day-to-day activities. Avoid keeping children at home unless they are too sick to participate.

We have put together this helpful chart of when to keep your child home and when they can return to school for common illnesses

When the red flag is hanging outside near our main entrance to outside the media center, this means indoor line-up. This usually occurs during inclement weather. inclement weather or weather temperatures drop below 10 degrees. During these times students may enter the building thru the main entrance (Door #1) starting at 8:20 AM.

Calling in your child sick, an appointment or vacation? Please call the attendance line at any time of day at 586-439-6690. Utilizing the attendance line will assist our office staff with making sure attendance records are accurate.

If your child is tardy, it is district policy that when you drop them off you need to come and sign them in. Thank you for your support!

In Michigan, schools are required to collect certain student information, such as enrollment, demographics, and program participation, and share it with the Michigan Department of Education. This process is required by state and federal law and helps monitor publicly funded education programs.

A new rule in the State School Aid Act now requires schools to also collect information about students’ tribal affiliations. This change was developed with input from Tribal Nations in Michigan.

Starting this school year, families have the option to share tribal affiliation information. Sharing this information is completely voluntary.

The data will help strengthen communication with Tribal Nations and may allow schools to qualify for additional funding to better support Indigenous students.

If a family chooses to share this information, it will be protected under privacy laws such as FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), which also prohibits discrimination.

If you would like to report your tribal affiliation, please complete this form by October 7.
