Congratulations to the Student of the Week, Kaleb Reed! He is a 2nd Grader at Duncombe Elementary. This is what they had to say about him....Kaleb challenges himself every day to make himself better. He shows perseverance and never gives up. He does his best and has a good attitude while doing it! Way to go Kaleb, FDCSD is so very proud of you!!

🚌💛 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 💛🚌

Every school day, our kids climb aboard the big yellow bus, and keeping them safe takes all of us!

🛑 DRIVERS: Always stop for flashing red lights and the stop arm. Kids may be crossing, so slow down near bus stops and school zones.

🎒 STUDENTS: Stay 10 giant steps away from the bus, wait for the driver’s signal before crossing, and stay seated while riding.

👨‍👩‍👧 PARENTS: Take a minute to talk with your kids about bus safety, and try to get to the stop a few minutes early.

🙌 A big thank you to our amazing bus drivers for getting our kids where they need to go safely every day. Drop a 💛 in the comments to show them some love!

Red Lights Flash, Don’t Dash! 🛑

That's a wrap on National School Lunch Week, and we loved celebrating the people who make sure every Dodger has a warm meal and a friendly smile: our Taher Lunch Heroes! 🍎

Since 2003, Taher has been part of the Fort Dodge family. We’re so grateful for the care, creativity, and hard work they bring to our cafeterias every single day. ❤️

Students and families, Taher wants to hear from you! Share how they’re doing in this quick survey, open through the end of October:

Thank you, Taher, for 20+ years of serving our Dodgers! ❤️🖤

Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Evie Piton. She is a 9th Grader at FDSH. This is what her teachers has said about her....Evie has modeled maturity, responsibility, and an eagerness to help in Cantabile. She has been a leader within the alto section by demonstrating a positive attitude, being prepared to sing (whether it's warm-ups, alto sectional work, or full group singing), and writing reminders to herself in the music to help prepare for future rehearsals. Evie clearly communicates absences or conflicts and turns in work on time. She even helped to locate and guide shared band/choir students as they were figuring out the alternating rehearsal schedule the first few days of school!
Way to go Evie! FDCSD is so proud of you! 🔴⚫
