Fisler Navigator News
Dear Fisler Families,
What an amazing evening we had at the Fisler Gala! It was so much fun seeing our families, community members, staff, and School Board Vice President James Cho come together to support our students!
I am so proud to be the principal of a school community that holds high expectations for our students, not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Together, we believe in every child and are committed to helping them become the very best version of themselves. The Gala was a wonderful example of that commitment in action! Our community came together to raise funds to provide experiences and opportunities that go above and beyond for our students.
A HUGE thank you to our amazing PTSA President, Helen Won, and her entire Gala Committee! What an incredible evening you created for our Fisler community! I am continually blown away by the time, energy, creativity, and love our parents pour into making Fisler such a special place. Your efforts not only raise funds to provide wonderful opportunities and experiences for our students, but also bring our community together in such meaningful ways. To everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, or generously shared their time, talents, and resources, THANK YOU! It truly takes a village, and what an incredible village we have here at Fisler! We are so lucky to have you!
This past week, we also participated in the Great California ShakeOut, and our students did an incredible job! We practiced real-life emergency scenarios to help ensure our students and staff are prepared in the event of an earthquake or other emergency. I was so proud of how seriously our students took the drill and how well they followed our safety procedures. A special thank you to the parents who joined us and participated in our emergency scenarios! Your involvement helps us strengthen our safety practices and better prepare as a school community. I also encourage every family to take a few moments to create or review your own family emergency preparedness plan. Please see the announcement below for more information.
We have so many exciting things happening at Fisler! Be sure to read the announcements below about National Bullying Prevention Week, Filipino American Heritage Month, Red Ribbon Week, our Pumpkin Fun Run, and so much more!
Thank you for all you do to make Fisler such a wonderful place for our students. I am truly grateful to be part of this incredible school community, where we work together to help every child learn, grow, and thrive!
Warmly,
Caroline Llewellyn
Principal, Robert C. Fisler School

Be Prepared: Complete Your Family Emergency Preparedness Plan
Last Thursday, we completed a success Great Shake Out Drill. 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), Mrs. Arellano, at marianna_arellano@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.

National Bullying Prevention Month,
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, promote kindness, and build safe, supportive environments where every student feels they belong.
At Robert C. Fisler School, we work year-round to prevent bullying by reinforcing our KSRR expectations: Kind, Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. Through classroom discussions, assemblies, positive reinforcement, and schoolwide expectations, we encourage students to treat others with kindness, include others, and take responsibility for creating a welcoming school community. This month, students will learn about bullying, what it is and what it is not, and how to prevent and report bullying. Students will also take a pledge to stand against bullying and help keep Fisler safe and respectful for everyone.
Students can also use our See Something, Say Something reporting website to report concerns and help keep our school safe.
Parents, take action to help keep Fisler bully-free! Please take a few minutes to view the bullying prevention presentation to learn how to recognize and prevent bullying, and sign the parent pledge to help keep Fisler a safe and welcoming place for all students. Your support and partnership are essential in creating a school community where every Navigator feels safe, supported, and valued!
