You can reach the FES front office by calling (317) 594-4160

Reporting Absences
Parents, please notify the front OFFICE in regard to absences and late arrivals. You can leave a message on our attendance line by calling (317) 594-4160 and selecting option 2. Please leave detailed information, including student's first and last names with spelling, teacher's name, grade, and reason for the absence or late arrival. If late arrival, please include approximate time student will be arriving. 

Leaving early for appointment
If a student needs to leave early for any reason, only family and individuals listed on the student's approved Skyward list can pick up the student. In the student's Skyward account, under the "Family and Emergency Contact" tab, you may list people approved by you to pick up your student. Those individuals MUST show a valid driver's license when picking up the student. When arriving, please ring the silver button to the immediate left of the glass door closest to the front office by the wood and glass entry door. Once admitted, you will sign out the student using Ident-a-Kid.

Forgotten Items
If a student forgets an item at home and a parent needs to drop off that item after school has begun, that item may be dropped off in the front office. Please have student's first and last names, and teacher's name, on the item and we will deliver it to the student.
