Wow, look at what's new for the Reading-Fleming Intermediate School Huskies! New blacktop paving is now complete. The 5th and 6th-graders at RFIS will enjoy this updated outdoor activity area when school starts. This project is part of the 2019 construction bond referendum. How exciting!

The district will also use the Apptegy platform to send automated messages to families, through its Alerts feature. As we begin using this feature, please be sure to check your spam folder or junk e-mail file for district e-mails that might have been directed there. In addition, FRSD is proud to unveil our new mobile app . Users can select specific schools and manage notification settings to customize their experience. It's free and available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. To access the app through Apple, visit: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flemington-raritan-schools-nj/id6745563033.

Helpful Reminders about School Meals from Maschio's for the 2025-2026 school year: Food Allergies and Special Dietary Need Requests: For parents interested in a meal modification for any medical diagnosis (e.g. allergies, Celiac, diabetes, lactose intolerance, etc.), we require documentation from the child’s healthcare provider. Click for the English and Spanish packets. Documentation may be submitted one of the following ways: 1. Completing it online: www.bit.ly/safemenus. 2. Emailing the forms to nutrition@maschiofood.com with the subject line “SAFE MENU”. 3. Faxing forms to the nutrition department at (908) 888-2335. Safe menus automatically discontinue at the end of each school year. Waivers or consent forms are no longer needed for children not proceeding with a safe menu. POS Systems (e.g. Genesis) - Allergy alerts should not be the sole safety measure for students with food allergies as there may be hidden allergens in some menu items. We encourage students with food allergies to be provided with a safe menu. You can access your Nutrislice menus on the FRSD App, the Nutrislice App or on a web browser: lookup.nutrislice.com. In addition, please take advantage of our Harvest Market Fruit & Vegetable Carb Counts on every menu. This is a guide to all cold fruits and vegetables (including juices) offered and their corresponding grams of carbohydrates. For grams of carbohydrates for schools selling a la carte snacks please view our Smart Snack Guide. Check out the Maschio's website for more details and information.
