We're starting to see many damages to district provided devices. We want to remind our students and families of the hardware policy and cost associated with the repairs needed. This policy can also be found in the FSUSD Parent/Student Handbook. Any fees associated with these damages are billed to parents, and sent via email. Unpaid bills will be sent via mail monthly.

The cities of Fairfield and Suisun City are two of the most diverse communities in California. To honor that diversity, each week FSUSD will be sharing information about the cultures that make up our extra special learning community.

Native American Day is celebrated on the fourth Friday of September every year, falling on September 27 this year. Native American Day honors and celebrates Native Americans. The first Americans who lived in the United States before the first explorers and settlers from Europe colonized the lands. This means that the Native Americans lived from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the northern reaches of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Native Americans have played and continue to play a huge role in the history of the United States.

Students will be tested upon parent/teacher request as well as those who have met the preliminary criteria based on their academic data. Here is the link to the GATE page where you'll find the "Request to Test" form. The last day to request to test is Oct. 11th.

For 3rd-7th grade students recommended for testing by someone other than their parent, Opt Out letters will be mailed out to their families on Oct. 18th to be returned by Oct. 25th IF parents want to opt their child out of GATE testing.
