🎉 WELCOME BACK, FAMILIES! 🎉
Monday, August 24th is the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
As we kick off the 2026–2027 school year, here are 4 simple ways families can help start the year on a positive note and set students up for success.
⭐ 1. Start the Night Before
Help your student get a good night's sleep and prepare everything they need before bedtime. A calm morning makes for a much better day!
🎒 Backpack ready
👟 Clothes picked out
⏰ Alarm set
⏰ 2. Establish a Routine
Consistent bedtimes, morning routines, homework times, and screen-time expectations help students know what to expect and make the school year run more smoothly.
💬 3. Encourage Communication
Remind your student that it is okay to ask questions, make mistakes, and ask for help. Encourage them to communicate with their teachers when they need support. Mistakes are part of learning!
❤️ 4. Celebrate Effort, Not Just Results
A successful school year isn't about being perfect. Celebrate your child's effort, growth, kindness, perseverance, and progress along the way.
🌟 LET'S MAKE IT A GREAT YEAR!
This week, we welcomed our new kindergarten friends for a fantastic three-day Kindergarten Round-Up! It was a wonderful introduction to kindergarten.
Our little learners engaged in exciting hands-on activities, learned the classroom rules, and got comfortable in their new surroundings. Their enthusiasm was contagious!
A special highlight was our field trip, where the children learned important bus safety rules. They even enjoyed a sweet treat to celebrate their hard work! 🍦
We can’t wait to see their smiles on the first day of school. Welcome to kindergarten, everyone! ✏️
Lumen is finally back up and working correctly. Families are able to complete registration through the parent portal. Our in person registration event is tonight, August 10th from 3:00-7:00. We will have computers ready for parents to use and will be available for any technical issues that arise.
Cross Country Opportunity for 7th and 8th grade students.
Lumen is still trying to resolve the technical issues with registration. We will have to cancel our in person registration this evening and are rescheduling for: August 10, 2026 from 3:00-7:00.
We will still have our Free School Supply event today until 6:00. Please come by and grab school supplies for your children. We will have any remaining supplies set out on August 10th, as well. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We had a fantastic volleyball camp this summer! Our athletes learned new skills, built confidence, and demonstrated outstanding teamwork. We're excited to watch these girls continue to grow and succeed as they head into the upcoming season.
We are seeking 2 coaching positions. Please reach out if you are interested in coaching either of these teams!
Dear Families,
We’re thrilled to announce that registration for the 2026-2027 school year is just around the corner! This year, we’re introducing a new opportunity for parents to complete online registration right here at school.
Join Us for In-Person Registration!
Date: August 3rd
Time: 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Location: Franklin County R-II Library
During this event, we’ll have computers available for you to use for registration. Our technology coordinator will be on hand to assist with any questions you may have, ensuring a smooth registration process.
Additionally, our Free School Supply Event will occur on August 3rd from 3:00 PM-7:00 PM.
Please keep an eye out for a parent notification email that will be sent on Wednesday, July 29th, with parent portal credentials to log into Lumen. This will allow parents to register new and returning students. Parents who want to register on their own can log in and do so.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to Gayle Carey at gcarey@fcr2.org.
Our girls in 4th-8th grade had a great time at the recent basketball camp! This experience not only helped them improve their skills on the court but also fostered teamwork. A huge thank you goes out to Lesly Gerlemann for hosting!
