Falcon Flyer for Families!
Week of September 25, 2023
September 25, 2023
Hello Parents!
Welcome to Week 6 of the 2023-2024 school year! Progress reports went home, so please review your student's academic progress. You can reach out to your child's team of teachers should you have any questions. Teachers, counselors and grade level administrators are happy to help schedule conferences and meetings so that all work together in partnerships to help your student SOAR!
This week we have Picture Day that will be held on Tuesday, September 26. Your child may "dress up" for picture day on the top half, but the top should still be school appropriate, and the bottom half should still be in dress code should pants be worn. Please make sure you "opted in" to having your child pictured if you would like them in the yearbook and pictured in school activities. If you "opted out" of photos when registering, you can opt back in by contacting our registrar.
In addition to Picture Day, we will announce the Falcon Spotlight awardees this week; this month's trait is "principled". If one is principled, it means the person lives by a set of ethics, morals, and that they have a strong definition of "right" and "wrong." I can't wait to see who receives the Falcon Spotlight this month and to honor his/her character!
Enjoy the last week of September!
