2019-2020 STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE

Student Accident insurance is becoming more and more important to families due to lack of other insurance for your child(ren), or having major medical plans with ever increasing deductibles & co-insurance requirements.  The Student Accident insurance program helps families cope with these issues in a very cost effective manner. We, because of this, feel it is of the utmost importance that we let you know about Markel, http://markelaz.sevencorners.com, to allow all our parents to review the information and determine its value to their individual family's situation.

SYNOVIA'S "HERE COMES THE BUS"

Hello FUSD Parents and Guardians,
This year, FUSD is excited to launch Synovia’s “Here Comes The Bus.”   This new program will soon allow parents to follow their student’s bus ride information including notifications when they enter/exit the bus.

We will be rolling this program out in phases.  Phase 1 will begin on July 17th and will include the issuing of student ID cards with unique barcodes for each student.  Beginning in the first week of school students will be required to scan their badge as they enter and exit the bus to make sure the system is working correctly.

Phase 2 will include a Parent App containing real-time information about their student when they are on the bus.

If you have any questions about this program, please contact our transportation department at (520) 868-8800.

Respectfully,
Shannon Weber
Director of Transportation

REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Students,
Summer is near, which can be a relief to some of you and overwhelming for others. If you don't get along with your parents, can't see your friends, or simply miss having a schedule to structure your days, summer can feel more like a trap than a relaxing break. If you are beginning to feel stressed and overwhelmed, please reach out for help. Our school community is here to support you, or you can talk to another teen at Teen Lifeline by calling, or texting, 602-248-8336 (TEEN). Remember, you are not alone.
