Bird's Word for September 7, 2023

We have welcomed 56 new kindergarteners and 32 new students in grades 1-6. We are excited you chose Falcon! Staff and student are learning rituals and routines as they establish their classroom community. We're off to a great start!

We hope you are able to join us next Thursday evening. On the back side of the school there will be food and activities, plus a chance to visit the classrooms, and time to connect with staff. All families are encourage to attend.

Falcon Heights picture day will be Wednesday, September 13th. Photos will be taken that day, proofs will go home several weeks later and ordering info will be available at that time. No need to order until you see the proofs!

We are excited to have author W. Bruce Cameron visiting grades 3-6 to share more about being an author. Students may have read or watched the adapted movie "A Dog's Purpose." He has written several other books for students with a dog theme. Students will be able to purchase his books online through the Red Balloon Book store through September 15th. He will sign nameplates that can be placed in their books or see him again at a book reading/signing at Red Balloon on Saturday, September 10th to celebrate "Paws on Grand." Here is a link to order his books from The Red Balloon book shop.

PickUp Patrol is a secure web app that eliminates the need for you to send notes, write emails, or call the school to change your student’s dismissal plans. From a smartphone or a computer, you can make plan changes anytime, anywhere. It's simple and convenient to use—but most importantly, it helps your school manage student arrival and departure information accurately and efficiently to help keep our students safe.
