At Fraser High School, excellence extends beyond academics, and each week, exceptional students are recognized for embodying core values that define character and community. Nominated by their dedicated teachers, the Students of the Week stand out in areas such as Respect, Integrity, Self-discipline, or Engagement. These remarkable individuals not only excel in their studies but also demonstrate a profound commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive school environment. Their actions inspire their peers, creating a ripple effect of positivity and setting a shining example for the entire Fraser High School community. This week's students of the week are:

Congratulations to the 161-member Fraser High School “Rambler” marching band on its First Division rating in Class A competition in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association District 16 Marching Band Festival on Wednesday, October 14, held at Anchor Bay High School.

This is the TWENTY-FIFTH consecutive year that the Fraser marching band has participated in marching band festival and earned a FIRST DIVISION rating. Marching Band Festival is a week-long event across the state of Michigan, and a total of 36 bands from District 16 (which covers bands from all of Macomb and St. Clair Counties, and parts of Oakland county) participated. This adds up to over 3500 STUDENT MUSICIANS taking the field in competition.

Three judges adjudicate the bands in the categories of music, marching, and general effect showmanship. Ratings range from First Division, which is a superior rating, equivalent to the grade of an “A”, to a Fifth Division. Our “Ramblers” earned an overall FIRST DIVISION rating with 11 A’s and 1 B+ in the categories of Music, Marching, and General Effect / Showmanship.

I would like to extend a special thank you to the incredible team of professionals for which I am blessed to work with: Mrs. April Fiedler, Mr. Sheldon Santamaria, Mr. Luke Woods, Mr. George Dunn, Mr. Nick Hunter, Mrs. Shana Fleming, Ms. Codenne Fleming, Ms. Sydney Maison, Mr. Jakobe Neal, and Mr. Jason Kazmierski. Without their professional assistance throughout the marching season, the level of student achievement would not be possible!

I would also like to thank ALL of the parents for their support and assistance throughout the season!

Finally, thank you to all of the staff for their support of our students.

As always, Full of Fraser Pride,

Jim Rodgers

Michigan recently enacted legislation that will transition the state’s youth work permit system from the current school-based process to a centralized system administered by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO).

Beginning October 2, 2026, students will no longer obtain work permits through their Fraser school. Instead, minors and employers will use the State of Michigan’s free centralized online system to apply for and process youth work permits.

Beginning October 2, 2026:

• New Online System: Students and employers must use LEO’s Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP) to apply for and process work permits.

• Schools Will No Longer Issue Permits: Fraser Public Schools will no longer issue or approve youth work permits.

For more information about Michigan’s youth employment requirements or to access YEPP, visit the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) Youth Employment Page at www.michigan.gov/leo/initiatives/youth-employment.

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.

Good morning, parents & guardians!

Senior Year is here! Your students have worked so hard throughout their educational journey to make it to the finish line. If you would like to purchase a Senior Ad in this year’s yearbook to commemorate and recognize your Senior, now is your chance!

See the attached flyer for details!

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Pulver via email at Shannon.pulver@fraserk12.org.

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