To All Parents, Guardians, and Staff of MFCS

I am reaching out to continue communications with MFCS parents, guardians and staff pertaining to MFCS School Closure.

There was an Executive Order issued by the Navajo Nation President on Friday, March 13, 2020.

Due to this executive order Many Farms Community School will close from March 16, 2020 to April 3, 2020. The Navajo Board of Education may recommend an extension of closing of the schools and educational facilities beyond April 3, 2020. Information will be provided if this happens. We ask that parents utilize all educational resources, read to and with your children, and continue educational activities at home to ensure the educational gap is minimized during the time away from school.

Beginning, Tuesday, March 17, 2020 MFCS will have lunch and snack programs. The programs will be a grab and go style program. Students will not be allowed to eat on campus, rather, we will make lunch and snack via a grab and go format. The MFCS cafeteria will be open from 11:00am to 12:00pm Monday to Friday for students to get their lunch and snack to go.

Finally, we have cancelled or postponed any out of district travel, activities, practices, etc. until school resumes. Please plan accordingly.

We understand the complexities with school closures and we thank you for your patience and

support.

We appreciate our partnership with parents and we wish everyone a restful spring break!

Sincerely,

Dr. Fonda Charlie

Bus Changes

Absences

Should be submitted before 2:00 PM on regular schedule days; 10:00 AM on early dismissal days.  Bus changes can be emailed to , faxed, or dropped off at the front office.  We DO NOT take bus changes over the phone.

IDs

Have your IDs/DLs on hand in case you are asked to provide one, especially for check-outs/visits

Changes

If there are any changes in the home such as mailing/residential address, phone numbers, caretakers; please contact us regarding these changes.  We do send out messages through calls and/or test so if you do not update your numbers with, you will not receive any messages.

Students will need to get admit slip if they were absent from school.  Have them bring in notes/doctors' statement/etc.  They also can be emailed to ​

Check Outs

Make sure if someone other than yourself (parent/legal guardians) will be checking out your child, they need to be on the check-out list AND at least 21 years of age as stated on the check out list.  This is also the time they will be required to provide identification.  This is only for the safety of your child.  We have to make sure the person is authorized to pick up your child.  We will not accept over the phone authorization but a statement is acceptable with your name and contact number.

Fridays

Mass Communication

Please update your numbers with this link:

​

Most Friday's are early dismissal, students are released at 12:30 PM and on their way out by 12:45 PM.  If you are picking up your child, be here before busses leave.  The front office will not hold students for parents/guardians running late.  Bus time is chaotic.  We do not want to lose track of anyone during this time.  Please check the school calendar for days there is not school.
