We are so happy to say that Mrs. McGoey has returned to school! Since she is still getting back into the swing of things, Mrs. McGoey will be moving into the position that was opened when Mrs. Reinholz resigned last December.

Hello, Fontana Families and Staff!
It looks like we are still under a winter weather advisory starting at 6 p.m.--you know, right in the middle of conferences! PT conferences will be held tonight as scheduled; however, anyone wishing to reschedule due to the predicted weather conditions can contact the teacher (sooner, rather than later) to reschedule. Teachers will also have the option to reschedule and will be in touch soon if they choose to do so.
Also, due to missing a full week of instruction because of inclement weather so far this year (with months of potential inclement weather ahead), we will hold a normal school day on Friday, February 22.
Thanks!
