Dear Falcon Families,
I hope this letter finds you filled with joy and excitement as we embark on our first full week of school together! The first two days have been filled with wonderful moments of enthusiasm, introductions, community building, and celebrations.
It has been heartwarming to witness our students settling into their new classrooms and forming connections with their teachers and peers. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by our Falcons have set the tone for an amazing school year ahead.
We are confident that this week will be filled with opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and flourish. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to fostering a positive and nurturing learning environment for all our students, ensuring that each child's unique talents and abilities are recognized and supported.
We believe that our school community is a family, and together, we will create a welcoming and inclusive space where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
As we move forward, we encourage open communication and collaboration between home and school. We value your involvement and support in your child's education journey, as your partnership plays a vital role in their success.
We look forward to sharing many more milestones, achievements, and joyous moments with you throughout this school year. Together, as Falcon Families, we can make this academic year an unforgettable one!
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are excited to continue this journey with you and your incredible children.
With Falcon Pride,
Joshua Peebles
Principal
Alice Vail Middle School
PBIS Updates:
Our wonderful students are earning Falcon Bucks daily for their positive behaviors. We have a Falcon Buck store that the students will have opportunities to shop in starting in September.
This store is solely supplied by donations. Please help us with donations! Items needed are small bags of chips, all kinds, juice boxes, movie theater candy, small packages of cookies, stuffed animals, stickers, board games, and anything you clean out of your closets.
We do have families order from Amazon and have it delivered here. Anything you can help with, is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions about this and the store, please reach out to our Dean of Students Ms. Ryan at 520-584-5442 or by email.
