The Farrell Area School District would like to thank the parents of our community for their support and belief in public education. We would like to also ask for your continued support in our effort to prepare young people, today, for their leadership role, tomorrow. Please make education a priority. With it, most things are possible.

CHIP has expanded. More children can enroll. Don't assume that you earn too much to qualify.

All uninsured children and teens not eligible for Medical Assistance have access to health insurance. It doesn't matter how much money your family makes. Many will get it free. Others, at low-cost. Learn about the CHIP Program.

Reminders

1.  Please remember that students are not permitted to bring cell phones, beepers, DVDs and MP3 players to school. The Farrell Area School District has the right to confiscate and hold all audio and technical devices which cause a disruption in the educational process of our schools. In the event of an unforeseen incident, school administrators and other personnel will contact you.

2.  Please make sure that all students entering the Farrell Area School District this September have updated records of their immunization history. A copy of this information should be given to the nursing staff at Farrell High.

3.  All students in the Farrell Area School District are required to have emergency cards filled out and available in the nurse's office. This information will be extremely helpful in the event of an emergency.

4.  In an effort to serve you better, please attempt to make an appointment to see school administrators and other personnel. We would like to make sure that we are readily available and can accommodate your needs.

5. The parents or guardians of students who are seniors this fall should set up an appointment with the high school guidance counselor to get clarification on graduation requirements and other opportunities after high school. Students and parents should contact Ms. Roshelle Green, the new high school guidance counselor or Mr. Keith Fustus, the new middle school guidance counselor.

6. All student lockers should be locked to protect their school materials and personal belongings. The Farrell Area School District is not responsible for stolen items from lockers that have not been secured. Locks can be purchased in the high school office. We do not permit students to use locks that are not provided by the school district.

7. Students are required to have a medical excuse from a doctor's office or the nursing staff of the Farrell Area School District before being dismissed for medical reasons.
