As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to stay informed about potential schedule changes! For example, if there's a two-hour delay, school will start two hours later than usual but will dismiss at the regular time. For schedule change procedures and the best ways to stay informed when winter weather hits, go to www.btcs.org/schedulechanges.

Mrs. Roberts, Fairmount's Communities In Schools Coordinator, is starting A STEM club to help students to build confidence through creativity! Students will work together to tackle exciting STEM related challenges. They 'll be encouraged to collaborate, share ideas, support one another, solve problems, and think creatively! At the end of the 9 weeks, students will showcase their projects to their families and demonstrate challenges they completed together. The expected outcome is to help students develop a love for STEM, improve their ability to work well with others, and learn to creatively solve problems. Students will be encouraged to explore their interests and strengths, which will boost their confidence and motivate them to think outside the box.
Look forward to more information about this club in the Spring!
