Just Like Old Times, But Different…
Once we get over the first day nervousness, the school year begins to take on familiar patterns and rhythms. Even though our schedule is different this year, most things are the same. Kids have fun visiting with their friends in the halls and at lunch, and teachers have fun teaching.
The FHMS lunch periods are much different this year. In order to provide additional team planning time for our teachers, we went from three lunches to two, and each lunch is now 50 minutes! The teachers have a 30 minute lunch time, then 20 minutes to work with their team colleagues on planning. To help the kids stay busy during their long lunch period, we open the outdoor courts for the last 20 minutes of lunch period. It has been very warm this week, but we look forward to the cooler weather when more kids can play basketball and football outdoors.
Parents, if you ever wish to visit your child during lunch, you are certainly welcome! Please check in with Marcia at the front desk for a visitor’s pass.
