Hello Falcons!!
This is not a drill....our summer break is coming to a close, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome all of our Falcons back for the 25/26 school year!! Welcome all returning and new Falcons to our Fontana family!! If you are new to Fontana there will be a weekly update outlining our achievements, upcoming events, and all things Fontana!! Here are FIVE things to know this week:
Our first day of school is Tuesday, September 2nd!! Doors open at 8am and school starts at 8:15am. Our dismissal time is 3:30pm. Please know our pick up line can be long, but know that that line is typically done within 6-8 minutes.
Pick up reminders--All middle school pick up happens on the north end of the parking lot and the youngest Falcons are picked up on the south side of the parking lot. All 3rd grade and younger parents can use the left side/lane upon entering the lot to move around the middle school and get to the south end of the lot quicker. If you have more than one Falcon all of your children will group with the youngest child.
Summer is winding down and fall activities are ramping up. If you are interested in some fun fall activities the Hallows and Phantom YMCA has some Spooktacular fun! Find our MORE HERE.
We are thrilled to roll out our WINGS OF DISTINCTION recognition this school year. You are invited to complete the Wings of Distinction form to recognize the many EXCELLENT things going on in our school community each day. This can be completed for students, staff, and parents/community members. This ongoing distinction will be celebrated and recognized all school year. Our WINGS OF DISTINCTION honoring will be ongoing, all school year so fill the form (LINKED HERE) as early and often as you would like.
During inservice this week our staff discussed and worked on curriculum, highly effective classroom strategies (Marzano Instructional Framework), gratitude, and self-care. One fun activity we would like to share with you is our "Songs that Make Us Happy" playlist that we made on Spotify. When/if you find yourself in a bad spot just pop on the playlist and find yourself transported to a happier place. Enjoy the songs that make our Fontana Falcon Family happy by clicking our playlist LINK HERE.
We can't wait to see you all Tuesday, but before then, enjoy your extended holiday weekend Falcons!!
