CLIMATE SURVEY – PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The High School needs parents to oversee students taking a “Building Climate” survey. One of our goals is to make FRHS a better place; free of bullying and harassment. One way to do that is to survey the students. Our Social Studies Departments have volunteered the time to help, but we need parents to oversee the kids, in small groups, while on the computers. We need 1-2 parents in LMC and 1-2 parents in lab upstairs. The shifts will be Monday, October 6th – Friday, October 10th from 7:30 – 11:00 and 11:00 – 2:15. Any time you can volunteer will be greatly appreciated. Please reply to lynngurrentz@comcast.net or questions can be directed to Principal Tina Burns.
