Falcon Flyer for Families!

Falcon Families,

Another busy week down! Congratulations to our 8th graders on completing their IB Projects and presenting on Thursday. We are proud of their accomplishment!

We have one week of state testing down, and there is one more to go! Friday, May 24 will be the last day for any informal/formal assessments so that students have time to retake, if necessary. Next week will be the last week for tutoring, and teachers will submit all Q4 and Final grades to administration by Friday, May 31.

Awards Day and Field Days are scheduled for the last week of school (first week of June), and they are listed below for your reference. We look forward to celebrating all of our amazing students and their accomplishments!

Also, important summer dates are included in this newsletter. Please save the dates!

Last, but not least, please remember that Monday, May 27 is a Holiday! Please enjoy the long weekend and we will see you back to wrap up the year.

Dr. Persinski

We are proud to announce that we will induct over 20 members into our first chapter of Les Jeunes Amis du Français (or National French Junior Honor Society) on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 6pm in our Sullivan Auditorium. As it is our first ceremony, we induct current 8th graders this spring. In the fall, we will induct all eligible rising 8th graders. This nationally recognized organization sponsored by the American Association of teachers of French is the highest recognition that students of French can receive. Those selected have been chosen based on their excellence in the classroom, outstanding character, and dedication to service within school community.

Félicitations to our 2024 inductees!
