Principal's Message
Dear Falmouth Families,
As we enter the month of November, a time when we reflect on the things we're grateful for, we want to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation to all of our wonderful parents. Your unwavering support, understanding, and partnership play a vital role in making our school community stronger and more connected.
This year has been one of growth and change, and we know that it hasn’t always been easy. Whether it’s adapting to new policies, navigating updated rules, or working together to make sure that our school remains a safe and thriving environment, your cooperation has been invaluable. Your patience and commitment to supporting our students have made all the difference.
The strength of our school lies in the partnerships we build with our families, and your involvement enriches every aspect of what we do. Whether it's helping with school events, volunteering, or simply staying engaged in your child's education, your efforts create an environment where everyone can thrive.
So, as we pause this November to give thanks, we want you to know just how much we value and appreciate you. Together, we are creating a school culture that is not only educational but also supportive, inclusive, and filled with gratitude. Thank you for all that you do—your support means the world to us.
With Love,
Ashley Hall

Hello FES Families,
Computer knowledge and etiquette are essential 21st century skills. We want our students to be future ready and Falmouth recognizes the importance of developing an understanding of safe, respectful, and responsible technology use. Through the implementation of the Computer Science and Digital Learning Integration Standards of Learning (SOL), we are helping our learners build a solid foundation. Throughout the year we provide activities that introduce topics like coding, cyber security, digital citizenship, robotics, 3D printing, artificial intelligence (AI), and more. We know our Falcons deserve a world class education and we work hard each day to deliver, while also inspiring them to be their best selves. I encourage you to browse some of the outstanding resources we use for technology integration and STEM learning with your children:
