Safety
At Fullerton School District, we are dedicated to enhancing the safety and well-being of our students, educators, and administrators through a coordinated community effort. This involves collaboration among parents, teachers, local law enforcement, mental health professionals, and elected officials to take meaningful action in protecting our students.
We are excited to launch the “Say Something Anonymous Reporting System” (SS-ARS) district-wide. This program empowers students, teachers, and administrators to recognize warning signs of potential threats, especially on social media, and to take action by either speaking to a trusted adult or using the anonymous reporting system. All 4th-6th grade students will be trained on this program the week of 12/2/24-12/6/24.

LCAP
The Fullerton School District wants ALL students to be successful in school. So, each year we create a plan to explain how we are going to help all students reach this goal. This required plan is called the Local Control Accountability Plan, or LCAP. You can read about the plan at bit.ly/fsdlcap. The LCAP reflects feedback from parents, teachers, principals, staff, students and community members. This survey gives you an opportunity to be part of this process. Your feedback is important to us!

History and Social Studies Curriclum
This year, we will adopt a new History and Social Studies (HSS) curriculum for TK-6th grade students. On September 20th, a Blackboard message was sent out regarding online Community Review access for Studies Weekly. You may always access online platform with our demo logins below, and we invite you to leave feedback on this Form.

We welcome Community Review and feedback in support of our efforts to continue providing enriching, robust, standards-aligned content and curriculum for our students with engagement from our FSD community. To comply with Board Policy, and provide more accessibility, as of November 1, we have all materials for our recommended adoption available for in-person viewing in the main lobby of the District Office. District office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30.
Pathways of Hope
We would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to the Acacia community for your donations during the Pathways of Hope Drive! They will make a huge difference for local families during the holiday season.
We would also like to thank our parent and student volunteers for supporting the drive over the last two weeks. We could not make this happen every year without your help. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Jill and Alison!
