As we prepare for winter break and look towards the new year, please don't forget to reference our school calendar when making appointments for students. This calendar has days we don't have school marked in red. We hope this is a good visual to help you plan scheduled appointments for your students so they can have the best possible attendance at school. #attendancematters

Both students were nominated by their home room teachers for being positive roles models and helping others.
We had a great LEAD Rally today! It started with recognizing students with 95% attendance or higher, proceeded with a dodgeball tournament, Mr. Angelone and Mr. Daring became snowmen, and it ended with Mr. Sierra getting pied in the face. Santa even stopped in!
Thank you to all who donated items to the Fostoria Elementary Academy 's Seneca County Humane Society Drive. Students and teachers were able to drop off donations and get cuddles from some of the animals!
