Falcon Ridge Elementary
August 2024
From Mrs. McEachern
Parents,
Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 school year at Falcon Ridge Elementary School. I hope that you and your family had a fun and relaxing summer break. I am extremely proud to serve as the Principal of Falcon Ridge Elementary School for my 3rd year and to continue to support your student. As a school, we will continue to foster a safe and caring environment allowing students to be successful in their education. My goal is to meet the needs of every student emotionally, socially, and academically in order to help them develop and make growth.
I would also like to welcome all of our new families who are joining us this school year. We are excited for you to become a part of our FRE family. We can't wait to share with you all that FRE has to offer and we believe you will soon feel as we do, that FRE is a special place for all children. We encourage you to get plugged into our campus by joining our fabulous PTO, becoming a volunteer, or even a substitute.
As we begin the year, we know that there will be some transition time for students and teachers to get adjusted, learn routines, and build relationships. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work through the beginning of the year kinks at arrival and dismissal. After the first week or so of school, our arrival and dismissal schedules will smooth out and will become much quicker.
I hope to see each of you at our upcoming Parent Orientation. This is an opportunity for parents to learn more about the campus and the classroom. Please see the attachment below for more information about Parent Orientation.
Reach out to our front office if you have any questions or concerns. We want to partner with our parents and work together with you to ensure a positive experience at FRE. Below are a few campus reminders that may be helpful.
1. Label all jackets, lunch boxes, and water bottles with student's first and last names.
2. Water bottles may only contain water for the classroom.
3. The building opens daily at 8:00 AM.
4. To contact the front office call: (281) 324 - 7100 between the hours of 8am-4:30pm.
5. Students are counted tardy at 8:25 when instruction begins. If a student arrives after this time, you must walk your child to the front office to be checked in. For safety reasons, do not allow your child to cross the parking lot on their own.
6. Students who accrue 8 or more unexcused tardies and/or early check-outs in a nine week period will receive a consequence. Tardies or early check outs due to doctors appointments will be excused.
7. Please submit absence notes to the Attendance Clerk, Jennifer Bradford.
8. Transportation changes need to be made to the FRE front office by 3:00 daily.
9. Car rider dismissal begins at 3:45 and ends around 4:10. If you arrive after this time, you will need to park and walk into the office to pick up your child. You will need your identification or car rider tag. After three late pick-ups, students will be required to ride the bus home.
10. Questions concerning bus transportation or bus discipline, need to be directed to the transportation department at (281) 324-1711.
