Fairmount Elementary

Afternoon Dismissal Reminder

All dismissal changes must be made in PikMyKid before 2:30 PM. We are unable to accommodate changes after that time.

Please note:

• Walkers must be picked up by an adult (18 or older) who has the student’s PikMyKid number.
• The walker line is not an additional car line. We’ve noticed many families parking and walking over to pick up, which causes congestion. If you are driving, please use the carline for pickup.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient!

We would love to see every student reading at least 5 nights per week for a minimum of 20 minutes. Reading is one of the most powerful ways to build lifelong success. Our students are completing reading challenges each nine weeks and this will help them meet more of their goals. Below are some tips to help your student at home.

At Home Reading Tips:

• Set a Routine – Pick a regular daily reading time.

• Find a Spot – Help your child find a comfortable spot to read.

• Read Together – Take turns reading aloud and talking about it.

• Talk About It – Ask simple questions to spark comprehension.

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held next Thursday September 18 from 3:30 - 6:30. Please let your child's teacher know if you would like to meet with them if you have not heard from them.

Fall Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday September 25.

Our next Breakfast with Someone You Love will be Thursday September 25 at 7:15 in the cafeteria. We look forward to seeing you all there and building that positive connection between school and home.
