Fontana J8 School District

Hello Falcon Families. We have been monitoring the radar closely and we are aware there is a potential for rain and/or severe weather. Our plan, as of 4:25p, is to move forward with our concert, as scheduled, with arrival beginning at 6pm and our concert starting at 6:30p. We will be providing a live stream on our Youtube channel for anyone who is more comfortable viewing our concert from home. There will be communication regarding any changes in our plans, immediately, should they arise. Thank you and we look forward to a great concert tonight! :)

Congratulations to our Falcon Alumni honorees. On May 8th the Geneva Lake West Rotary hosted their annual Diploma Endorsement program, which recognizes graduating seniors who excelled in academics while demonstrating a strong work ethic overall. Each honoree receives a certificate and special cords to wear during graduation. We also had a special Falcon guest at our lunch, Silas Gibbs, who has shown a strong work ethic this school year in 7th grade! #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence
