November 2025
Thank you for your continued engagement with our school community. Your support helps to further our initiative: “We are Donnell. Be You. Belong.” We especially appreciate your incredible support in donating socks for the Socktober sock drive, contributing food for our Donnell Pantry, and participating in meetings such as IEP, 504, and Parent/Teacher Conferences.
Now that we are into the second quarter of the school year, it’s a good time to check the balance and notification settings on your family’s PaySchools account (for lunch & fees!). Also, if you have not already completed it, please make sure your Free/Reduced Lunch application is submitted within PaySchools. If you have any questions regarding meal accounts or PaySchools, please contact Kadie Lindsey at klindsey@findlaycityschools.org.
As we move into November, we’d like to help clarify upcoming events and key academic dates for the month. Please review the November schedule below:
