Hello Falcon Zone ~
Thank you to all who took some time to eat at Slim Chicken on Friday, benefitting the Community Closet and Pantry. Our next Dine to Donate event will be on August 21st at Texas Roadhouse!
Today we launched our beginning of the year Falcon Zone Satisfaction Survey. It is a short survey (4 rating scales) and gives us the opportunity to hear your voice about what is going well and what needs some work. Please take a minute to complete the survey for your child's school linked below!
We are excited to move to a Zone Wide SAC (School Accountability Committee) this school year! All schools will meet at Woodmen Hills Elementary School on Sept. 5th. Dinner will be served starting at 5 followed by a short session with Zone Leadership at 5:30. Each building will then breakout into their individual SAC sessions. We are excited for this opportunity to connect with all of our schools at once.

Empowering Moments
From Superintendent Smith...
When the Falcon community all comes together to support our students, it is an incredible sight. This past weekend, students, parents, families, and community members came to Falcon High School to support our Seniors in one of their final year events. The FHS Senior Class of 2025 painted their parking spaces this weekend and we had one of the largest turnouts we have ever seen. It was awesome to watch all of the parents, siblings, family members, and even neighbors helping to paint along with their Seniors. Although, ah-hem, some of the Seniors tended to just supervise as others worked on their space for them...I guess we can work on inspiring a little more Grit before they graduate :-)
Thank you to all that turned out. I look forward to continued events throughout the year where we can celebrate and honor the FHS Class of 2025 and the legacy they are working to leave behind. I also look forward to the continued opportunities where all of our Falcon Community can come together to support our students and our schools. Let's make the 24-25 year the best one yet as one Falcon Community!

We 💚 Our Falcon Zone Staff
Thank you to everyone that took the time to recognize some of our amazing staff members. Below are the recognitions gathered from last week!
Jan Frazier (FES) - Mrs Frazier always greets the children every morning with a smile and encouraging words. She utilizes every tool known to man to help her students thrive. Her passion and kindness shows with how much her students love and respect her. She actively holds a prize box for the kids so they can purchase toys with their PBIS point tokens. Giving the children an opportunity to see their hard work in the class pay off. I truly can't express what a wonderful teacher she is. We're thankful our son has had her as a teacher.
Mr. Yager (FHS) - I hear the same thing about Travis Yager from so many students: He changes so many students for the better; he has saved a lot of students’ lives.
Mr. Hamilton (FHS) - Jared Hamilton, better known as this month’s teacher of the month at Falcon High School, cares about other people. He listens to what we say, then thinks about it. What a rare pleasure talking to him is!
Jared is always working to improve as a teacher, but he’s humble. He doesn’t realize how many students are learning a TON from him and how much his students like and respect him.Mr. Stunkard (FHS) - Nate Stunkard impresses me every time we talk. Nate is serious about being a good teacher. He’s professional, always thinking about how he can do his job better. I love this attitude.
Cathy Johnson (FMS) - Cathy has worked tirelessly to organize and distribute Chromebooks to every single Falcon Middle School student. We appreciate all of her hard work so much!
Catherine has done an outstanding job distributing Chromebooks to our 8th grade students. It was a quick process so we could still have instructional time in class. She is organized and super friendly with the students and staff.
