Good Evening Acacia Families,
Thank you for another great week at Acacia! And a big thank you to all the families who joined us for our first “Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character” costume parade and “Read with a Loved One”! It was wonderful to celebrate the joy of reading and see our Pandas share their favorite stories with the people they love. As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow. Enjoy the extra time together!
Warmly,
Rachel McCormick
Principal

Emergency Preparedness
Dear AcaciaFamilies,
The safety and well-being of every child is our top priority. Just as we practice fire and earthquake drills at school, we encourage every family to have a plan at home in case of an emergency.
A Family Emergency Preparedness Plan helps make sure your children are cared for by an adult you trust if you are ever unexpectedly unable to pick them up or care for them. That could happen because of an illness, El Niño flooding, an accident, or any other emergency.
Three simple steps:
Choose a trusted adult who can care for your children if you can't.
Download and fill out the free plan in English, Spanish or Korean from the district website: fullertonsd.org – Family Emergency Planning
Update your child's emergency contacts with our school office so the adult you chose is on file.
Need help completing your plan? Contact our School Support Advocate (SSA), Christian Alvarez, at 714-447-7700 or christian_alvarez_santiago@myfsd.org. We are happy to sit down with you and go through it together.
Every family in our school community is welcome, and we are here to support you.
Sincerely,
Rachel McCormick
