On May 29th, 2020 after an unforgettable year, FES staff, students, and community members gathered (socially distant - of course!) to wish our oldest Owls the best of luck as they move onto middle school. Each of our oldest students and their family lined Main Street (6 feet apart) and the rest of us drove up and down the street with music, honks, waves, smiles, and a few tears. While it was not the way we expected this year to turn out, we are so proud of all the students and their families for the hard work and positive attitude. FES will miss these students, but we know they are destined for great things!

FES students are finding creative spaces and ways to stay engaged in remote learning. FES families have really stepped up to problem solve with teachers to get students online and engaged in continuing to learn outside of the classroom. FES teachers are holding daily Zoom meetings with their classes and enjoying connecting with the students every day!

Dear FES Families,
We are excited to announce that FES now has its own YouTube channel!
It can be accessed using the link below or by simply searching for Francestown Elementary when you are on the YouTube site. You don’t need to log in to Youtube to view our channel. Since this is a public site, we will not post any pictures or videos of the students or mention them by name.
All videos can be found on the Homepage, but if you look under Playlists you will find the videos in categories. Staff members will post read alouds, instructional videos and more. The FES Morning News will begin today and be available Monday through Friday by 8:00am.
If students would like to submit a Joke of the Day or a Fun Fact to be shared on the news, please email them to cbradshaw@conval.edu.
Thanks for your continued support.

Dear FES Community,
I hope you are managing during what may be a stressful time. I appreciate your ongoing communication as we navigate this adventure of remote learning and instruction. During the closure, I will be sending a weekly newsletter. My hope is that the letter will provide information regarding student learning, as well as share resources that support you throughout the next few weeks.
By now, you should have had initial contact from your child(ren)’s classroom teacher to set up a schedule for checking in with you and your child. Your child may have even participated in a virtual morning meeting or mini-lesson. I encourage you to reach out to your classroom teacher, the school counselor, or me if you would like additional support such as academic, emotional, or nutritional.
If you would like to have your school age children get food delivery from the district food service during the school closure, please click on this link to sign up Food Service Link. Please know that it may take up to two school days for the delivery of breakfast and lunch to start after signing up. As additional people sign up, the district will need to coordinate delivery with the bus company.
Contact with the school will continue as usual. All calls will be answered during normal school hours. If you need to contact a staff member, you should simply call school (547-2976) or email the appropriate person.
We are required to keep track of students who are ill over the next few weeks. If your child is sick, please call the school and report the illness. Please know Pick Up Patrol has been turned off during the closure.
If you are experiencing technical difficulties, please let me know. More information about troubleshooting technology issues will be sent out from the district soon.
Some of your questions or concerns may be addressed on the Remote Learning FAQs page on the district’s website. If you do not find answers to your questions, you can submit your questions directly through a link on this page, or please reach out to me directly.
Be well!
Kat Foecking, Principal

FES students love when the snow falls! Students spend 20 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes after lunch playing outside. In the winter, students build snow forts, roll giant snow balls, and jump around in the fresh air. Through this play, students are learning important social-emotional skills and developing their gross motor skills.

Francestown residents Kelly Marshall and Nichole DeDecker have been working with two of our classroom teachers to plan our Outdoor Lions Learning (OLL) Time. Once a month, the FES Lions spend the whole morning (from arrival until noon) learning outside. On Thursday November 21, we had our first OLL experience. We began by gathering in a clearing in the woods for all-school Morning Meeting. From there, we split into our OLL multiage teams and rotated through 5 outdoor learning stations. Students measured things in nature, built community by creating mandalas, engaged in woods play, sketched in their science journals, and studied what different NH animals do in the winter. With rosy cheeks and hearty appetites, the students headed back inside to enjoy a wonderful Harvest Feast with families.

Francestown is truly a community school. We are so grateful to all of the community members who support the experiences of the students at FES! On Monday October 28th, Francestown resident, Brad Bull, delivered enough of his home grown pumpkins so that each student at FES could carve one for Halloween. Students helped to unload the pumpkins and parents and former FES alumni hollowed them out. Working with their literacy/math buddies on Tuesday morning, students carved their pumpkins and now they are decorating the front walk up to the entrance of the school. After our Halloween parade on Oct. 31st they will get moved up to the Town Hall for trunk-or-treat!
