Thank you to our PTA for making the F2 Challenge another successful event at Fullerton Elementary School! We had beautiful weather and a great day to come together as a community. Thank you especially to our PTA Board - Tara Swanson, Kristie Willis, Sonja Hencke and Laura Needelman.

As much as I am a lover of dogs, pets can be timid and worried around strangers and large groups of people. Our Pre-K through 5th grade students may not have experience with pets. The last thing any of us would want is to have a pet bite or hurt a student at school. Please keep all pets at home.

All paperwork is online now! In order for our students to be able to use the ipads, they must have this electronic information completed. If you would like to purchase the iPad insurance, which covers lost or stolen ipads, you can pay the $20 insurance online through the parent portal.

Be sure to make plans to join us for our Halloween Parade on Thursday, October 31st. Classroom parties will follow afterward. Parents are invited to come and stand around the walking trail, where our parade will take place. The parade will start in the building then make its way out the front doors and around the walking trail. We ask that students bring their costumes with them in their backpacks and NOT wear them to school. Students will have time to change before the parade.

Costumes should be easy to change into and not be overly scary since we have very young students that will be participating. All accessories (fake weapons and other items) should be left at home. The parade will start at 2:30 pm and last about 20 minutes.

The main entree for Monday's lunch will NOT be fish sticks. Breaded Chicken Bites will be served.

Fullerton provides a safe and caring environment for all students to learn and be successful in life.
