I’d like to thank the staff who worked today. They worked above and beyond their scheduled hours to help get all the meals and learning packets distributed. You guys showed true Hornet Pride. This staff is what makes Fair Play special. I am so thankful to have you.
Reminder for band students that have not picked-up fund raiser items yet. Your orders need to be picked-up as soon as possible in the band room. Mr. Anderson will be here until 4 pm today (Monday 4/6).
I need to make a correction to my earlier message. The second packet will be due April 17th. NOT the 24th.
Thank you so much for the great return of the learning packets last Friday. We appreciate your hard work. Tomorrow we will have the second learning packets ready when you pick up your meals for Grab and Go. They will be due back April 24th. We really appreciate those of you who can pick up your packets at the Grab and Go. We will. have the drive through 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Buses will run their regular afternoon bus route with the meals and any packets not picked up. Together we will get through this.
Tomorrow you are to return your learning packets. You will receive new packets on Monday. Although we do request you BRING your packet TO SCHOOL and we can give you your meals at the Grab and Go. You don’t have to get out of your vehicle. However we will still run the afternoon bus route and will collect packets then also. We would rather you bring your packet TO THE SCHOOL. This will help us to protect our bus drivers so we can continue doing bus delivery.
We will have meals ready to pickup today from 1-3 pm. The bus drivers will be running their regular afternoon bus routes, just like we have been doing. Remember, all packets are due this Friday. You may drop off at the cafeteria or give them to the bus driver. Please make sure your child's name is on the outside envelope.
Seniors, just a reminder that all local scholarship applications are due Wednesday, April 1 no later than 4 pm. You may submit applications to Mrs. Garrison in her office from 8 to 4 that day.

Through the food service program (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education)we are using to provide Grab and Go, we can ALSO provide meals for anyone under 18. We need you to call the school and tell us how many additional meals your family needs. Elementary phone number is 654-2233. High school number is 654-2232. You only need to call once to get on our list. Please call Wednesday or Friday 9:00 am -noon.
If your child(ren) have library books, please plan to return them with meals/packet drop off. We will have meals on MWF this week. Learning packets need to be turned in this Friday. You may do so at the Grab and Go drive through or with the afternoon bus route.

Please listen/read to the message as there are multiple items. The first learning packet will be collected on Friday April 3rd, 1-3 pm in the drive through.

New packets can be picked up 1-3 pm on April 6th. Fair Play will remain closed until April 24th. Stay safe.

TODAY, Wed and Friday we will do meal distribution as a drive-through. We will do this 1-3:00 pm at the cafeteria door in the bus lane. We will close the doors at 3:00 pm to load the remaining meals on the buses and use the REGULAR afternoon bus rt schedule. Please be watching for the bus so someone can meet it. This will help us tremendously to stay on time. The next learning packet will be delivered in April. Together we will get through this.
In order to comply with Governor Parsons directive we will close Fair Play Schools until April 6th. Next week on MWF we will have “drive through” grab and go meals. We will use the bus lane. Any remaining meals will be delivered during the regular afternoon bus route times. Please be watching so you can meet the bus. You did a great job on Thursday. The teachers will be working to prepare learning packets for distribution the first week in April. Stay safe, healthy and be sure to wash your hands. We will get through this together.
Due to information that we received from DESE yesterday afternoon that the State MAP Tests were on hold this year, the practice MAP test packets for 8th grade Science will not need to be completed for grading. It will be optional practice only. For further information, contact Mr. Durst during his office hours.
The ACT Test scheduled for March 24 has been postponed. Tentatively, the make-up date has been set for Tuesday, April 7th depending on how progress is made the next two weeks. Look for further communication regarding the make-up ACT closer to April 7.
