It’s always good to be prepared. Students and staff at FES have practiced their shelter in place, fire, evacuation and lock down drills. Hopefully we will never need them but the Pirates are ready if we do!
The 5th grade students are learning about Native Americans (Navajo) and how they used weaving to make blankets, rugs, clothes, hair ties and saddle blankets. They are also going to learn how they traded weaved items for other goods.
The finished weaving items will be displayed at the Autumnfest.

GCS reminds families that students who test positive for COVID-19 should remain in isolation for five full days from first symptoms, then wear a mask for days 6 - 10. Please contact your health care provider as any absence of 3 days or more will require a physician's note. Contacts do not have to quarantine, but if symptoms develop, testing is recommended.
