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:

1. Spectators must sit in the designated HOME/AWAY Bleachers

2. At NO time is it appropriate for SPECTATORS/STUDENTS to call out/chant opposing players names or numbers or yell at officials during the game. Spectators will be removed from the contest if necessary.

3. STUDENTS are to remain in the bleachers (not permitted to stand or sit on the floor) when cheering during an event/contest.

4. SPECTATORS will be removed from the facility if they interfere with the play of the game/officials/coaches/players or school personnel.

5. FHS Students must scan into all games with their student ID and must meet attendance requirements (3 or less tardies in a week) to enter the game at no charge. If a student scans red they must pay to enter.

6. Richards Middle School students need to present their student ID at the ticket table for Entry and be accompanied by a parent in order to enter the facility.

7. SPECTATORS may not bring outside food or drinks into the school or stadium.

8. Students may not bring backpacks into the contests.

9. No outside balls or noise makers that are not pre-approved by administration

10. Students are expected to sit in the bleachers and not hang out in the hallways, Athletic Entrance, Stadium entrance or open areas inside the stadium.

11. Students are not to sit in or walk over to the Visiting Teams Bleachers

12. In the event that a student is asked to leave a game, the parent or the guardian will be asked to take that student home.

13. Once a student/spectator exits the athletic facilities, they will not be permitted to re-enter.

14. Students not representing schools competing in that day's contest will not be permitted into the Fraser HS/MS athletic facilities.

15. Spectators are to exhibit Sportsmanship at all time, cheer positively and support all those individuals involved in the event you are attending.

16. Respect all Officials at all times as the number of officials available is declining. Don't be a reason why an official will not work a Fraser event in the future.

As always, the safety of our staff, students, and families remains our top priority. These additional measures will support our students in making good choices and create a safe environment for all to enjoy the event.

We encourage our families to take advantage of these athletic events. We can come together with our school community and reconnect with family and friends. Fraser is a special place and our athletic events allow our community to celebrate the rich history and tradition of our schools. These updated safety and support guidelines will be used for all Fraser High School indoor athletic events moving forward.

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.

Good morning, parents & guardians!

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)
