Eagle Update
Farwell Area Schools

At Monday night's Special Board meeting, the Board of Education voted unanimously on the administration recommendation to allow FHS students to return to in-person instruction starting Monday, April 19th, unless there are further changes to the quarantine rules/mandates from the State of Michigan and/or MDHHS. They also voted to continue rapid covid tests for athletes, for the purposes of allowing spring sports to continue (both practices and competitions).

As usual, this is subject to change, but we do want to work toward having our students in person as much as we are able (we know they learn best this way), and we want to try to maintain the most normal experience for them that we can, which includes athletics, as long as we can do it safely for ALL students.

Thank you to the FAS School Board for working hard to set policy that gives our kids the best opportunities possible!

Important Vaccination Notice from the CMDHD

Good morning, K-12 Schools:

Attached is a document regarding quarantine (14 days) and isolation information.  This was also sent out in press release format to our media partners this morning.  With case counts increasing, and with vaccine being available now, we thought it would be best to send this out.  We are encouraging all those who live, work or attend school in our six counties, and who are ages 16 years and above, to schedule their first dose vaccination appointment, if they haven’t already done so.  We have openings in some of our clinics this week, including our clinic site for 16 and 17 year olds.  We currently have openings at only one clinic in our jurisdiction for 16-17 year olds and that is Hayes Township Hall in Harrison.  They can schedule an appointment on our website.  A parent/guardian must accompany them to the appointment.  Our Hayes Township Hall clinic, and all of our remaining clinics, can serve those who are 18 years of age and above. 

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Thank you.
