Welcome to the 2009-10 school year and to the Fontana School District!  Our primary goal at Fontana is to provide your child with the necessary educational foundation for future success and to lead them down the path of life-long learning. A positive relationship with students, parents and the community is essential in supporting children at this developmental age.  As a staff, we value open communication in an effort to provide for each student’s academic needs. 

This past summer, Fontana School was pleased to be recognized as a “Wisconsin Promising Practices” recipient by the Wisconsin Character Education Partnership at the annual state conference. Last year, our students and staff met on a monthly basis in multi-aged groups, led by our 8^th grade students, to discuss character traits such as respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring and honesty. Our goal is to foster a learning environment where students consistently demonstrate positive character traits and take responsibility for the choices they make.  

We will also continue the weekly administrator newsletter to provide better communication between home and school. This update will be completed at the end of each week and will provide important information and an events schedule for the upcoming week.

Please feel free to contact the Fontana staff, or myself, if you have any questions or comments regarding your child's educational programming.

Serving the Students and Community of Fontana District!
