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!
