Dear Acacia Families,

Some parents have asked about the FSD bond on the November ballot and the impact it will have for our school. For your information only, please go to Measure N Fact Sheet on Fullerton School District's website. You can also find more information by clicking on the link Measure N Frequently Asked Questions also found on Fullerton School District's website.

As a reminder, ballots should arrive in the mail the week of October 7th and Election Day is November 5th. Don’t forget to vote.

Safety is our number one priority at Acacia. We are asking all of our families and students to only use our designated entrance and exit gates for arrival and dismissal from school. The designated entrance and exit gates include the main Dorothy gate near the Kindergarten playground, and the gates that open to the parking lot. Please do not use our emergency gates that open to the field. We appreciate your support as we strive to keep our students safe.
