Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides all children in participating schools with a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables during the school day at times other than breakfast or lunch. It is an effective and creative way of introducing fresh fruits and vegetables as healthy snack options.

The goal of the FFVP is to improve children’s overall diet and create healthier eating habits to impact their present and future health. The FFVP will help schools create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices, expanding the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience, and increasing children’s fruit and vegetable consumption.

Student Illness

If your child has an elevated temperature, rash, diarrhea, or vomiting at home, DO NOT send the child to school. Instead, have him/her stay home and rest until he/she is temperature-free and feeling better for a minimum of 24 hours. To review:  District Policy

This month, our schoolwide theme is our school as a welcoming place where every student feels like he or she belongs.  In our morning announcements and school assembly, we'll be reminding students to welcome others and act and speak in safe, respectful, and responsible ways.  In addition we'll be reminding students of our school rules. 

We'll also begin teaching the Second Step program, which includes lessons that support these behaviors.

Support your child at home in welcoming others and acting and speaking in safe, respectful, and responsible ways.  Please tell your child's teacher if you have questions about specific ways you can help your child with these behaviors at home.

SARB (Student Attendance Review Board)

Eastwood School participates in the SARB (Student Attendance Review Board) program for tracking student attendance. SARB consists of three levels: Level 1 (9+ days absent), Level 2 (13+ days absent), and Level 3 is the highest level of concern, with the most direct interventions. SARB aims to work cooperatively with families to alleviate the factors that interfere with regular school attendance. If a student reaches Level 3 the district SARB will then meet with the community SARB board (Juvenile Court, Cass County Social Services, Youth Court, Youth Works, and Fargo Cass Public Health) to gain assistance. Students entering the building after 8:10 AM are counted tardy. Children who are not absent/tardy all school year will earn an end-of-year Perfect Attendance Award!
