Today, they donated literally thousands of products to our school district! Next month they will be bringing more things, like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and more. Thank you again CMHD!

Good Afternoon. This is the Farwell Area Schools with a multi message, regarding drop off, pick up, and allergy issues.
First, the doors to all three schools unlock at 7:45 am. We do not have student supervision in place prior to 7:45. Therefore, students are not permitted to enter the building prior to 7:45. Please adjust your schedules accordingly.
All three buildings have drop off areas. The Middle School Actually has two (the Main one is located on the corner of E. Michigan and Merill Street, and smaller one located in front of the Middle School Office at 500 Ohio St). The High Schools drop off is at 399 E. Michigan Street. Please do not drive near the buses or drop off student in the middle of the Main Parking lot located between the High School and Elementary School. In the South Middle School Parking lot please use the drop off lane, and avoid sending your students through vehicle traffic.
When using the afternoon pick up areas. Please pull forward when you can, making space for more cars to load. It really speeds up the process for all. Again, for the safety of all, we ask that you avoid having students enter into the parking area and or crossing in front of vehicles.
Second Issue. We have two separate allergy issues that we would like to again explain. The Elementary has a student who is severely allergic to peanuts. Even the smell of a peanut butter sandwich, can cause this student to go into anaphylactic shock. For this reason, we have declared that the Elementary is a Peanut Free environment. The high school has a staff member that is allergic to tree nuts (not peanuts). Tree Nuts include pine nuts and even coconut. Therefore, we have requested that the High School be a Tree Nut Free Zone. Your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for keep every Eagle safe!
Congratulations to the Varsity VolleyBall Team for this year! They have had an amazing first week of practices and are gearing up for their first matches this Thursday night starting at 6PM at our home courts! Come show your support!
Farwell Marching Band had an amazing time last week at their annual Band Camp! So many hours spent getting to know each, learning how to become a team, learning their show and making lifelong memories! Many thanks to the students for representing Farwell with pride! Thanks to the Band Staff for teaching and thanks to the Band Boosters for all of your assistance!
2022-23 Food Service Survey. It is important that we get as many families as possible to fill out this Food Service Survey. Help make sure we get the right funding for your student! Find the letter and survey on the Food Services page - https://www.farwellschools.net/page/food-services
Summer Message
Good afternoon, Eagle Families!
Farwell staff have been preparing for the 2022/2023 school year, and here are a few things we want you to know before school starts:
First day of school for students will be Wednesday, August 24th. This is a full day of school.
We have a new website, www.farwellschools.net. Hopefully, you’ll find it brighter and easier to use, but you might have to spend a little time getting yourself familiar with everything. Everything that was on our old site has been transferred over to the new site, and we’ve put the most important information right up front for you. School supply lists, calendars, and open house dates can all be found on our website. If there’s something missing, let us know!
Secretaries will be returning to the offices during the week of August 15. Before then, the offices will be closed. If you need to enroll a new student, please stop in to the administration office to pick up an enrollment packet. Teacher letters will be mailed home in August, and you can always check your Skyward Family Access for information on your students’ schedules. As soon as the schedules are loaded into Skyward, they’ll be available for you - just keep checking your Family Access periodically for updates. If you don’t have Family Access, please contact the building secretary where your student attends and they can help you get set up. It’s easy and convenient!
If your student will be dropped off and picked up, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with our pickup/drop off areas, especially if you have a student in a new building this year. We want to keep traffic flowing, and keep our students safe. We’ve painted some new lines in the parking lots to make things easier.
We’re looking forward to a great school year, and we can’t wait to see all our staff and students in the buildings again. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, school will be here before you know it!
Have you seen the Supply lists on the Middle School and Elementary School pages? Go to each individual schools main page then click on the school name under the menu!
Have you noticed the calendar of events on the new website? If you go to the main school webpage, click on the calendar icon in the menu and view by month it is super easy to see upcoming dates for the district! (You might have to hide the colorful Michigan Transparency options!)
We are currently hiring bus drivers! See the Job Postings page!
**ATTENTION STUDENTS AND PARENTS** If you have not turned in your school-issued chromebook, please bring to the school ASAP. We have to inventory and update them over the summer. They may be dropped off (with chargers!) at the administration office between 7am and 5pm Monday through Thursday.
School Closed June 6, 2022 due to power outage!
