Eagle Press

Our 6th graders spend the day at Camp Howell to deepen their friendships, experience nature, and engage in fun, outdoor activities. The camp provides a well-rounded and engaging outdoor experience for students, teachers, and chaperones. They had a wonderful day with their school family!

Our 6th grade students have been practicing their interviewing skills in Heart class. They learned how to ask thoughtful questions, make eye contact, and listen actively. These skills will help them grow as communicators and prepare them for real-world experiences.

Our classrooms are working hard to SOAR at Ike! We already have 9 classrooms that have filled their jars and we have almost reached out goal for a school-wide celebration!

The state budget for the 2025–26 school year has not yet been finalized, and the future is uncertain for Michigan’s Universal Free Breakfast and Lunch Program. In Fraser, the program will continue through October 31.

What families should do now:

• Fill out the Education Benefits Form online, if you have not already done so this school year.
• Fraser Family Portal website, click on Benefits
• Student Name:
• Student ID:
• If you have more than one student, you will receive additional emails with this information for each student.
• Even if the universal program continues, submitting a meal application helps secure important funding for our schools.

We appreciate your assistance in completing this form. If you have any questions about our meal service, you can find menus and a breakdown of what qualifies as a free meal on our website.

Creating a Parent/Guardian Account in Canvas

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 looking to hire some Noon-Aides to help with lunches and recess at Ike. Come join an amazing team and work at Ike.

When the red flag is hung outside our front doors, this means indoor line-up. Students only can enter the building thru the main door starting at 8:20 AM.

Parking Lot Safety Reminder

Student safety is always our number one priority at Ike. Our parking lot is busy with young learners entering and exiting the building each day, and we ask for your continued help in keeping everyone safe.

• There is no parking on the side of the building during dismissal, as students are exiting classrooms in this area.

• Parents should park only in designated parking spots.

• Please use sidewalks when walking to and from the building.

Thank you for your partnership in making sure our arrival and dismissal times remain safe for all of our students.

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

The State of Michigan will provide a free breakfast and lunch for all students who want them through the end of September. We are currently awaiting a status update from the State regarding this program for the remainder of the 25-26 school year. Although not required, we do ask that families complete the Education Benefit Form located HERE. By doing so you help ensure the school receives additional funding.

Tribal Affiliation

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 1. (Link: https://fraserk12.jotform.com/252335442152853)

Our PTO is a vital part of our school community! The PTO works hand-in-hand with teachers and staff to support student learning, organize fun events, and provide resources that enrich our school. All member's involvement—whether volunteering time, sharing ideas, or simply attending events—makes a big difference. Together, we can create the best possible experience for our students.
