Updates and Info from Dr. T

As we pause for Thanksgiving, Farley Elementary extends warm gratitude to all our families for your support throughout the school year. December will bring a cheerful mix of learning and celebration, beginning with special presentations and field trips, followed by our festive campus traditions like the Santa Shoppe and the Pre-K and Kindergarten holiday concert. Students will also enjoy fun community-building events including a popcorn-and-movie fundraiser, our schoolwide holiday sing-a-long, and classroom parties as we head into the final days of the semester. We look forward to sharing a joyful December together!

Greetings families!

We are pleased to announce that our school received an "A" on our Report Card Score. This is the 3rd year in a row that Farley has received an A - this year a 90. Our Report Card score is based on our ACAP results (Grades 3-5) and our percentage of students that maintain excellent attendance.

November PTA Newsletter

Parents - remember that excuse notes must be submitted promptly. The HCS expectation is that within 3 days, a parent or doctor's note is submitted to the school. After 8 excused absences (not individual notes), students must have a doctor's note. A student checked out before 11:30AM is considered absent unless they check back in.
