Tomorrow, Thursday, 11/20, FCSD joins schools across the world in recognizing Children's Grief Awareness Day by wearing the color blue.
This time of year is a particularly appropriate time to support grieving students because the holiday season and the surrounding memories/traditions are often an especially difficult time after a death.
The theme this year is "Champion of Hope", and emphasizes that we all have a role to play for students who are grieving. You don't have to be a superhero, just someone who listens, supports, and reminds kids that their feelings are valid and that hope always exists.
For more information, visit https://www.childrensgriefawarenessday.org/cgad2/index.shtml
From our clerical staff, teaching assistants, teacher aides, monitors, bus drivers, food service workers, custodians, mechanics, and all those who ensure our schools are safe, welcoming, and ready for learning—you make a difference in the lives of our students every single day.
Thank you for everything you do for our school community. We appreciate you!

FCSD partners with Feedmore WNY to offer our community a school food pantry stocked with nonperishable items such as cereals, snacks, canned goods, and meal kits. Parents/guardians can make use of our online order form below, reach out to learn more or to "shop" in person. Middle and High School students can "shop" in the pantry by working with their School Social Worker.
Students in Pre-K through Grade 4 are eligible for the Backpack Program, which sends a bag of nonperishable food home over the weekends. Interested students/parents/guardians can work with your teacher and School Social Worker to get signed up.
Also below, please find a list of local food pantries, with their locations, contact info and days/times of operation.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions, suggestions or concerns, or if you'd like to make a donation to our School Pantry. Thank you for your interest and support!

Congratulations to our 7th & 8th grade Modified Volleyball team on an incredible season! 🖤
The Lady ‘Billies finished with an impressive 8-2 record, won every set in their 4-team mid-year tournament, and came out on top in five full 5-set match wins throughout the season! Their dedication, teamwork, and determination were on full display from start to finish.
Modified volleyball plays such an important role in building the foundation for future success. It’s where athletes develop core skills, confidence, and communication, and learn what it truly means to be part of a team. This year’s group demonstrated all of that and more.
We are proud of these student-athletes for representing Fredonia with heart, sportsmanship, and a love for the game.
Attention parents and guardians of a member of the class of 2026!
The deadline to make their senior yearbook even more special is fast approaching. Recognize your student’s milestones and successes with a custom ad before November 24th!
Create and purchase your student’s ad today: 2026 FHS Yearbook Store
