The Falcon Focus
Message from Mr. Ramirez
There are a lot of fun and exciting events in the month of October here at The Fort. Make sure you are up to date with all the important upcoming dates. You can find them under the Family Resources and Information section. First Count forms were sent home last week. We appreciate all your help in making sure they are returned to school in a timely manner. These forms are crucial in the acquisition of funds for not only Fort Crook Elementary, but all Bellevue Public Schools. If you have any questions, or need an extra form, please contact Ms. Claudia in the office 402-293-4710. These forms are due OCTOBER 31st! Lastly, It has been awesome seeing parents walk with their child during walk and talk in the morning on the track. Please continue to do so, and thank you for participating!
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Ramirez for any questions or concerns at 402-293-4712 or jason.ramirez@bpsne.net and as always, It's A GREAT DAY TO BE A FALCON!

We had our first inaugural Falcon Families meeting on Friday, September 20. During this first meeting students and staff collaboratively developed meeting norms and expectations, got to know one another, and voted on a family name based on a letter they were given from the alphabet. We will be highlighting 2-3 families per month here on the Falcon Focus. You can view the Family name's below!
