Farrand Robocall/Email September 12, 2021

Parents, please congratulate your children for a successful week of learning. Our students are respectful and responsible learners. Friday was the first full day of Kindergarten. Previously their day ended at 12:10. For some families, the afternoon bus arrived a bit early. Again, I say thank you for your patience and understanding.

Now for a few weekend updates. Lifetouch pictures are scheduled for October 21, 2021. The September date is no longer valid. You should have received an update from Lifetouch.

The Farrand PTO meets Monday night, September 13 at 7:00 p.m. Come out and help make decisions to improve our school.
