School safety starts at the bus stops. Share these tips with your children
1. Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
2. Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
3. Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it's okay before stepping onto the bus.
4. Be sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver.

Dear FAS Families,
We have been made aware that a Facebook post is spreading information about a parasite, foodborne illness, or contaminated food at the Farwell Area Schools. The posts have even claimed that this information came from our Health Department.
As of 10/1/2024 at 3 PM, We at the Farwell Area Schools are not aware of any such issue. We have been in communication with the Health Department this afternoon, they can confirm that two people living in the same household have filed complaints against the school, but they have nothing to support these claims. We were just inspected by the health department a week ago and have invited them to come back out tomorrow.
This is a good lesson to remember. Just because you read it on a Facebook post, doesn’t make it real, or accurate. The general rule of thumb is to find it from three credible sources.
Respectfully,
Steve Scoville
FAS Superintendent
