I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Thank you to Mrs. Bassett and the middle school choir for presenting the beautiful fall concert! The concert was well-attended and a musical treat.

The middle school leadership is organizing a special opportunity to help those less fortunate this holiday season. If you are able and willing to help, please access this link for Operation Christmas Child. We are proud of our middle school leadership team for finding and organizing this community service project for Falcon RIdge!

Friday has been set aside as a special spirit day. Students may wear Falcon Ridge attire and/or a hat to school. As a reminder, students may not wear Halloween costumes to school.

Thank you to our PTO, families, and staff who made the Falcon Ridge Family night at the Farmstead a huge success! We had such fun fellowshipping together and laughing during the "Kiss the Pig" event. Thank you to Mrs. Roberts and Miss Tatom for being such great sports.

As we dive deeper into the school year, please remember that struggle is a good thing—it’s a natural part of learning and growth. By pushing through challenges, our students build resilience and a strong foundation for future success. Our character focus this month is excellence, in both character and academics.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jorgensen

This year, our theme is Cowboy Up: Raising the Rigor. We are committed to holding our students to the highest standards, not only in their schoolwork and homework but also in their manners and behavior. At Falcon Ridge, we are passionate about shaping responsible, respectful, and well-rounded citizens. Together, we will ensure that every student leaves our school ready to excel in all areas of life.

As part of our continuous commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all our students, we kindly remind you of our designated student pickup protocol.

For the safety of our students, we ask that you please adhere to the following guidelines during the student pickup process:

Designated Pickup Spot: Please arrive at the designated pickup spot indicated by the school. This helps streamline the pickup process and ensures a smooth flow of traffic.

Teacher Supervision: Our teachers will be present at the pickup spot to assist with safely escorting students to your vehicles. This also allows us to verify that the student is being picked up by an authorized person.

Communication: If there are any changes to the pickup routine, such as a different authorized person picking up the student, please inform the school office in advance. This will help us avoid any confusion and ensure the safety of your child.

Patience and Courtesy: We kindly ask for your patience during the pickup process, especially during peak times. Your courtesy towards fellow parents and staff is greatly appreciated.

By adhering to these guidelines, we can collectively maintain a secure environment for all students. We sincerely thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for your ongoing support in prioritizing the safety of our students.

We are so excited that the sports season has begun! Here is some important information regarding practices and home games:

• Elementary students and siblings must be accompanied by an adult and can come to games when doors open

• Siblings of students can not stay after school during practices due to not have staff to supervise students who are not participating

• The main doors will be unlocked at 3:30 for home game guests

Why is this important? Classroom instruction and learning happen when students are present. Also, Falcon Ridge receives funding based on average daily attendance. Thank you for your support!
