Dear Farnham Families,
As we move into a busy and exciting time at Farnham Elementary, I wanted to take a moment to share some important upcoming events with you.
We are thrilled to present our school play, Alice in Wonderland, with performances on Thursday and Friday. Our students have been working hard, and we can't wait for you to see their incredible talent and dedication come to life on stage. We hope you can join us for this magical experience!
Next week, we will hold parent-teacher conferences. Please note that Monday through Thursday will be early release days to allow time for these important meetings. We appreciate your partnership in supporting our students’ growth and success. Additionally, there will be no school on Friday, as it is a professional learning day for our staff.
Thank you for your continued support in making Farnham a wonderful place for learning and growth. We look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events!
School Climate Student Survey, March 17th-21st
Students (2nd-5th) will take Farnham's School Climate Survey. Their anonymous feedback helps us meet their needs and continue to make their educational experience as enjoyable and valuable as possible. Please let your child's teacher know by March 14th if you want to opt your child out of taking the survey.
Take Parent Engagement Survey, Feb. 28th - March 7th
This is also the time of year when all schools in the Cambrian School District ask parents/guardians to complete a Parent Engagement Survey. Results are used for us to know what to continue and how to improve parents' participation in their child's school. Please complete the Parent Engagement Survey by tomorrow, March 7th.
Be well,
Amy O'Hehir
Farnham Principal
