Principal's Message
Dear Falmouth Elementary School Community,
I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of Falmouth Elementary School! My name is Ashley Hall, and I am both honored and excited to step into this role and become part of such a vibrant and dedicated community.
With a background in education spanning over a decade, I have had the privilege of working in various capacities, from classroom teaching to administrative leadership. Each experience has deepened my passion for fostering a nurturing and engaging learning environment for all students. I believe that every child has unique talents and potential, and I am committed to helping each student thrive both academically and socially.
As I settle into my new role, I am eager to connect with students, staff, and families. Building strong relationships is essential to creating a supportive school culture, and I welcome your input and collaboration. Together, we can ensure that our school is a place where every student feels valued and inspired.
I look forward to meeting you at upcoming school events and getting to know the Falmouth community better. Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, growth, and joy!

Hello FES Families,
We all know that internet safety is an important topic, particularly for students and families. Children spend more time than ever online and need to know how to stay safe, set healthy limits, and keep their personal information private. Digital Citizenship week is October 14th to 18th, 2024. Throughout the month, I will be visiting classrooms to talk about being safe, respectful, and responsible online. I will also be sending home a short activity that families can use to encourage good digital citizenship in your home. Finally, I have included a list of five tips and additional resources for families:
Don’t give out personal information to others
Never send pictures to Strangers
Keep passwords private (except parents)
Don’t download anything without permission
Tell an adult if you get a mean or strange message
