Did you know that Natoma Station was recently recognized by the State of California for its implementation and fidelity of PBIS?

Our school received a gold recognition for its efforts and implementation towards being a PBIS school. We were 1 of only 6 schools in our district to receive gold recognition, with only 1 other school in our district getting the highest recognition of platinum.

Positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) is a schoolwide systems approach aimed at establishing positive student culture and individualized behavior supports necessary to create a safe and effective learning environment for all students.

We have 3 behavior expectations/standards that are the foundation of our PBIS system at Natoma Station. Here is a fun 1 question survey to see how well your child knows our 3 behavior expectations/standards. We would love 2 minutes of your time to see if your child can tell you what our 3 behaviors expectations/standards are.

Volunteers are an integral part of our school community. We encourage parents and community members to get involved. You must be cleared in our system to participate on campus. Once you are cleared you can sign up for field trips, help in the classroom, and various school events. If you have any questions, please contact our Parent Coordinator: chvostal@fcusd.org

Can't volunteer but want to help out? We are collecting candy donations for the trunks participating in the Trunk or Treat (those hosting a trunk do not need to provide your own candy). You can drop your donation off in the main office, thank you!
