FAWE Parents,
If you haven't already, please go to the Focus Parent Portal, and update your child's emergency/yellow card information. Thank you for your help with this important information!
🍽NOURISHING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍽
The expiration of a federal waiver means families must complete a free/reduced-price meal application to determine whether or not their child(ren) are eligible for meal benefits. Even if you do not believe your children will qualify for free or reduced-price meals, please consider completing an application - meal applications ensure the District is able to receive needed federal funding that directly benefits our students and schools. The District is covering the cost of meals for students who qualify for reduced-price meals.
Complete your family's meal application here: https://www.myschoolapps.com/
On the menu today: breaded chicken, brown rice, sweet potato fries, fresh pear and sliced fresh cucumbers! 🍗🍐🥒

🧩WE'RE ALL ONE PIECE OF A LARGE PUZZLE🧩
While preparing for the new school year, staff at Felix A. Williams Elementary School worked on being able to see and celebrate the best in themselves and considered how they were important pieces of a puzzle.
As they saw their pieces come together, they realized that there are so many skills and strengths they have nearby to lean on. Whether you're a corner piece or the very last one finalizing the puzzle, remember that we ALL are here on purpose, for a purpose.
