Dear Fraser Families,

Today we are excited to be launching parent access in Canvas, our learning management system.

With your parent account, you will be able to easily view the assignments and gradebook for students in grades 7-12. Elementary parents will be able to view assignments and coursework.

Please click here for detailed instructions on how to create your parent account. You will need to use a web browser, and your student will need to be logged in to their Canvas account on a separate device in order to generate the required pairing code. 

We encourage you to create your account and become familiar with Canvas. If you need additional support with creating your parent account, please plan on attending one of the webinars below. 

Our 21^st Century Coaches will be hosting a day and evening parent webinar to introduce Canvas, show how to create a parent account, and check assignments and grades. Meetings should last about a half hour. Please choose whichever one fits your schedule.

Canvas Parent Meeting

October 5 at 9:00 am - Register Here

October 6 at 6:30 pm - Register Here

If you are unable to make it to one of the webinars, we will be recording the presentation and posting it on our website, www.fraser.k12.mi.us/canvas.

Thank you

Dear Fraser Families,

Fraser’s teaching staff is committed to helping all students succeed. The Mission Statement for our district is “Innovate. Learn. Lead.” There are many ways to help students to be as successful as possible. We also realize here at Fraser, that our students do not come to us as “one size fits all” learners, have different learning styles, and learn at different rates. Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is one way to offer needed support.

Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a process of providing educational and behavioral support. There are three tiers in this approach, and they are as follows: 

Tier I: ALL students receive the core curriculum and instruction in their regular education classrooms as well as School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (SW-PBIS). The teachers work with all students at their individual levels.

Tier II: ALL students receive the core curriculum and instruction in their regular education classrooms. The school provides targeted interventions to students who need more support in addition to what they are receiving in their general education classroom.

Tier III: Students in this tier receive more intensive interventions. They are exposed to the core curriculum in their general education classroom but need more intensive interventions on basic skills that usually requires an individual learning or behavioral plan.

Fraser Public Schools has developed a timeline for student assessments. Your child’s general education teacher conducts additional and more frequent progress monitoring to move students fluidly through these tiers as needed based on each students’ assessment data. As a parent, you will be notified by your child’s school if your child moves into a different tier of support.

If you have any questions about MTSS, please do not hesitate to contact us. Also, the Fraser website has additional information on MTSS as well.

Sincerely,

Sara Delgado, Ph.D.
Director of Elementary Instruction

Good Afternoon Fraser Families,

The Here Comes the Bus App is up and running for this school year. If your student rides the bus, this app will provide updates on the bus location as well as a text message when your student gets on and off the bus (when they scan their Student ID card).

You will need your student's ID number, which can be found on their ID card or a past report card. 

More information about this app can be found in our Back to School District newsletter.

Thank you,

Kristin Ledford
Director of Community Relations

Dear Fraser Families,

When the 2021-2022 school year ended, so did free meals for every student. While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress has declined to continue funding this program for the upcoming school year. 

We understand this change may cause you to worry. However, there are important steps you can take NOW to be sure your student receives the meals they need for the 2022-2023 school year.

Please complete the 2022-2023 online application through Family Portal to determine if you qualify for free or reduced meals. 

If you do not qualify for free meals, you may deposit money onto your student’s Family Portal account which is linked above.

Meal prices for the 2022-2023 school year will be:

Reduced meals are $0.30 for breakfast at all levels and $0.40 for lunch at all levels.

More information about meals, including menus, are available on our Food Service website.

Completing an application is the only way to be considered for free or reduced meals this school year, unless you received a letter that you were approved for free or reduced meals based on Direct Certification.

If your family qualified for free or reduced price meals last year, those benefits will continue through October 11, 2022.

Elementary families will need to complete a meal order form each month. These forms are available on our website and printed copies will be available at your child’s school.

Thank you,

Kristin Ledford
