Updates and Info from Dr. T

December always brings a special energy to our halls, and this week is no exception! Our Pre-K and Kindergarten students are gearing up for their Holiday Concert, and we’re excited to celebrate their hard work and festive spirit. As we move through this busy month of learning, events, and joyful traditions, we’re grateful for our families and the wonderful season ahead at Farley.

In January, our Afterschool Program will transition from AlphaBest to Heart of the Valley YMCA. Find out more here.

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.

Chronic Absenteeism is defined as a student missing 18 or more days for the school year (or 10% of enrolled days), regardless of reason.
