Hello Falcons! Unfortunately, with the continued storms and challenges with weather we are still without power at Fontana School! Our school will remain closed for Tuesday, June 25th. Our scheduled Tuesday Summer Programming "Snake Discovery" from 10-11a will still take place, however, it will be moved to Big Foot High School. There will be NO summer challenge programming from 11-12p today due to the school closure.

Hello Falcons. Due to the storm from Saturday night the school is still without power. Our school will be closed Monday, June 24th, including daycare, until we can get the power back up. Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have a timeline of it being fixed. We will communicate updates through our social media and emails. Thank you

Hello Falcons! As many of your know, outdoor education was started over 60 years ago by our very own Mr. Ernie Roeker. Our community and school district have carried on his traditions, care for the environment, and care for each other ever since. Fontana School recognized his contributions by naming the arboretum the Roeker Arboretum. This April 22nd (Earth Day) we will honor the updated learning space and rededicate our arboretum to Mr. Roeker. Join us from 4:30p to 5:30p with ribbon cutting ceremony to begin at 5pm in the Roeker Arboretum. More information to come in the following weeks, but save the date now!
