Falcon Flyer for Families!

Good afternoon,

I hope that you have had an enjoyable weekend. We have a little over 2 weeks until Thanksgiving Break (12 school days). The semester is flying by, so please make sure that you stay on top of your assignments, utilize enrichment and tutoring time, and communicate with your team of teachers to ensure success! Please remember that you can monitor student progress through Canvas and PowerSchool.

This week, we have basketball and step team practice, academic challenge team tryouts, and French Week will wrap up on Wednesday, November 8. Our amazingJunior Civitans are collecting canned food for the Salvation Army to help those in need.

Importantly, in this newsletter, we have our awesome Principal Scholars announced for Quarter 1, along with our Honor Roll students. Great job and keep up the good work!

Have a fantastic week, Falcons, and don't forget to be thankful and make good choices!

Dr. Jacqueline Persinski

November is National Native American Indian Heritage Month and we are proud to join the national effort in celebrating and highlighting the many achievements of Native Americans.

Our schools are celebrating National Native American Indian Heritage Month with activities and lessons that will lift up significant people in the history of our community, state, and nation. Additionally, Native American culture is a part of our year-long curriculum and we are working toward celebrating diverse backgrounds today and every day of the year.

Throughout this month we will share stories and highlights celebrating National Native American Indian Heritage Month from some of our schools. We invite you to follow along with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
