Parents/Guardians: Please check your email for a message from the Fair Grove Transportation Department regarding upcoming bus changes.
The music program scheduled this evening for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students in Mrs. Harmon's classes has been canceled due to attendance issues. We apologize for the late notice. The program for the 6th and 7th graders will not be rescheduled. However, the 5th grade performance will take place on Monday, December 20th, during 7th hour (2:00-2:50). Please feel free to email Mrs. Harmon at harmona@fgsmail.org with any questions. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
This is an official Fair Grove R-X School District message: We have become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok as well as others like Instagram and Facebook. Student and staff safety is our primary concern. Out of an abundance of caution, our school resource/police officer is working with the local Police Department to ensure a safe and secure environment for our students. We will have additional security in place in each building tomorrow morning.
Due to a bus driver shortage, beginning January 3rd all Fair Grove R-X School District bus routes will have changes made to them. Route numbers will change and bus numbers will not be the route numbers (riders will reference the "RT" placard). All current riders' parents/guardians will be sent stop information including pick up and drop off times on December 16th.
