Principal’s Coffee Chat
I invite all parents to our first Principal's Coffee Chat on Friday, September 5, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. in the F.Ave Cafeteria. This session will give you the chance to meet some of our non-teaching staff members who play a vital role in supporting classrooms. We'll also revisit key feedback from the "Meet the Principal" session and share updates on our school goals for the year. I look forward to seeing you there!
One Flock, One Flight-F.Ave Falcons Unite!!!

Join us for Walk and Roll: September 10th! 🚲👟🚲👟
Lace up your sneakers and roll into September with us! Our Walk & Roll to School days are back, and there’s no better time to enjoy the crisp fall mornings, spot changing leaves, and start the day with friends. Join us on Wednesday, September 10 to celebrate healthy habits, safe routes to school, and the fun of moving together. Let’s step into the school year—one stride (or pedal!) at a time!
Do your kids love biking to school? The Safe Routes to School Committee recently heard from Mr. Andrew Francis, the founder of the super successful bike bus at Parkside Elementary in Atlanta, about the benefits of starting a bike bus—a group of students (and parents) who ride to school together along a set route. It’s safe, social, and a whole lot of fun.
If volunteering at Walk & Roll or leading a bike bus sounds interesting, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to jillwandstrat@gmail.com.
