Dear Falcon Ridge Families,

I hope this message finds you well. I am excited to share some fantastic news: our second week of school was a tremendous success! Your unwavering support with attendance, homework, and character development has been truly remarkable. Together, we are working as a united team to ensure that each and every student not only excels academically, but also develops into a responsible and respectful citizen.

Speaking of citizenship, the character trait this month is respect. Students who are "caught" showing respect can earn a Falcon Card.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued dedication and partnership. Your involvement is a driving force behind our achievements, and we are truly thankful for your active role in our school community.

Please take a moment to read through this week's newsletter for important information about attendance, ordering school merch, after school pick-up process, PTO updates, pop-up library schedule, new staff, parent resources and more!

Let's keep up the great work together and continue to inspire growth and excellent values in our students. Here's to an outstanding school year ahead!

Sincerely,

Dr. Jorgensen

Students who accrue five (5) or more full-day unexcused absences or nine (9) full-day excused and unexcused combined absences in a semester may lose their seat. After the eighth (8th) full-day absence, the student and parent/guardian will be required to meet before the school board. After the ninth (9th) full-day absence in one semester, a note from parents is not sufficient.

As part of our continuous commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all our students, we kindly remind you of our designated student pickup protocol.

For the safety of our students, we ask that you please adhere to the following guidelines during the student pickup process:

Designated Pickup Spot: Please arrive at the designated pickup spot indicated by the school. This helps streamline the pickup process and ensures a smooth flow of traffic.

Teacher Supervision: Our teachers will be present at the pickup spot to assist with safely escorting students to your vehicles. This also allows us to verify that the student is being picked up by an authorized person.

Communication: If there are any changes to the pickup routine, such as a different authorized person picking up the student, please inform the school office in advance. This will help us avoid any confusion and ensure the safety of your child.

Patience and Courtesy: We kindly ask for your patience during the pickup process, especially during peak times. Your courtesy towards fellow parents and staff is greatly appreciated.

By adhering to these guidelines, we can collectively maintain a secure environment for all students. We sincerely thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for your ongoing support in prioritizing the safety of our students.

Our Very Own Mrs. Turben helped make over 1,000 meals for children across Idaho!

We had so much fun at Back to School! We hope everyone has a wonderful school year! Let's learn like champions!!
