Parents/guardians are asked to try and schedule appointments before or after the school day. If a student needs to leave during the school day for an appointment, please send a note with your child to the office. They should bring the note to the main office before school to receive a "Pass to Leave" during school hours.

Visitors During the School Day

Family and community members are welcome to visit Friendly Hills during the school day, provided the visit is consistent with the health, education, and safety of students and employees. Visitors (parents, guardians, short-term substitute teachers, volunteers, contractors, vendors, etc.) MUST enter and exit through the main entrance and complete the check-in or check-out process. All other entrances to the building are locked and secured and are not entrances for visitors.

During the check-in process, visitors will be asked the purpose for their visit and the staff member with which they have scheduled an appointment. They will also be given a badge that must be worn for the duration of the visit. All regular volunteers must follow this process throughout the year.

School Initiatives

COMMITMENT TO SERVICE
Friendly Hills focuses on incorporating volunteering and service learning at all grade levels. Service learning provides real-life, hands-on experiences and prepares students to be responsible global citizens.

Each year, Friendly Hills students participate in Make a Difference Day — a celebration of community volunteer work. It's an occasion to recognize and appreciate all the hard work and planning that goes into making communities safe and pleasant places to live. Each grade level celebrates Make a Difference Day by working together to positively impact their community, the country or the world.

SUSTAINABILITY
LiveGreen is the district wide sustainability program that promotes energy saving and recycling initiatives. Each school throughout the district has a LiveGreen team. Learn more about School District 197's Sustainability program and LiveGreen teams.

WELLNESS
To actively engage students, staff and families in physical activity and healthy eating, the District has implemented a Wellness program. Representatives from throughout the district work together on the Wellness Committee to promote nutrition and exercise initiatives. Learn more about Student Wellness in School District 197.
