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 8th 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!
