Hello Falcons!!
Week 36 of the school year had our elementary students working on their final benchmark tests of the year. Benchmark testing is done at least three times/year and helps our students and staff track their growth over the year. We use the data to make plans for students to extend, intervene, and set goals for growth. Here are FIVE things to know this week:
We are so excited to offer another summer of academic learning and enrichment at Fontana School. This year there is no fee for summer school. Summer school will include an hour each of reading focus, math focus and enrichment.

Our GOAL--transparency and community connection to enhance our school, create unique learning opportunities, and provide an open format for school/community communication. See you there!
PTSO Spotlight--We had our last meeting of the school year this past Wednesday. We reviewed the incredible fundraising, student/teacher support, and partnership with our parents and the school. The PTSO has many long standing chair members that will be "graduating" and we are always excited to welcome new members to the group. Please reach out to Margaret Labus (margaret@starboard-group.com)for interest, to answer questions, or to provide feedback to our amazing parent group.
