A friendly message and reminder from Fredonia CSD:

With colder temperatures and wind chills forecasted for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, we politely ask that all parents and guardians do their best to ensure that students are bundled up and prepared for the winter weather.
Please ensure your child has:

• A heavy winter coat

• Gloves or mittens to protect their hands

• A warm hat and scarf to protect their head, ears, and face

• Insulated footwear to protect their feet

Layers of clothing to best hold in body heat
Please also be aware of the possibility of a delayed start tomorrow, if needed.

Stay warm and safe! Thank you for your efforts at home!

FCSD will be closed tomorrow, January 26, due to the current level of accumulated snowfall, coupled with the forecast for significant additional accumulation tonight and tomorrow.  Stay safe and warm.

The Board of Education will hold a regular meeting on Tuesday, January 27, at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Library.
