🏫🖤💛 What a great night at FES! 🐾

Our Open House was a huge success! It was wonderful to see our halls filled with excited students, families, and staff as everyone came together to kick off a new school year.

From meeting teachers and visiting classrooms to reconnecting with friends and getting ready for the first day, there was plenty of excitement throughout the building. We loved seeing so many smiling faces and feeling the energy that comes with a fresh start! 📚✨

A big thank-you to our amazing FES staff for all the time and effort they put into making tonight special for our students and families.

We’re ready, Blackcats! Let’s make it a great year! 🖤💛🐾

🖤💛 Back-to-School is officially underway at FES! 🐾

Our FES staff kicked off the day with a delicious breakfast before jumping into our back-to-school staff meeting. From safety training to important meetings, planning, and collaboration, our staff put in a full day getting ready to make this school year a great one for our Blackcats!

And then came the best part—Open House! 🏫✨ It was wonderful seeing our students and families back in the building, meeting teachers, finding classrooms, and getting everyone excited for the year ahead.

A busy day? Absolutely. A productive day? Definitely. And a great way to kick off another school year? Without a doubt!

Here’s to a fantastic year, FES! 🖤💛🐾

🚨 Attendance Spotlight 🚨

Fredericktown Elementary School has a special student who knows all about perfect attendance! Soon to be second grader Lynlee Spangler has not missed a day of school since she has started! In both kindergarten and first grade, Lynlee has had perfect attendance. We asked her how she does it and she said, “I like school. I like to see my friends. Recess is my favorite part of the day and reading is my favorite subject to learn!” We also know it couldn’t happen without the help and support of her parents! Thank you Lynlee for making school a priority! Mr. Clauser said he hasn’t had a student with perfect attendance all three years in a row since he became the principal here 11 years ago. We are excited for this possibility!

Students at FES take attendance seriously and so do the teachers and staff. Missing school means missing out on instruction, so to help keep things flowing smoothly in the classroom we set a building wide goal for all of our students to be in attendance 90% of the time at the very least. Our students rose to the challenge and 331 students out of 348 met this goal with 210 students reaching more than 95%. We are hoping to continue to see a rise in these numbers next year! We try to incorporate individual and classroom challenges as well as rewards and incentives to encourage students to be here everyday they are able! The month of May brought the May’k It Count challenge. Students who didn’t miss a minute of school were entered into a drawing per grade level for the chance to win a $50 gift card to Walmart. Our winners were:

Kindergarten- Maddilynn Ferrer
1st Grade - Phillip Weaver
2nd Grade - Paxton Sikes

Awesome job friends!
