Acacia Elementary School

Thank you for another great week! We had a great Book Fair kick-off with some special guests! Troy High School Football and Cheer joined us on Thursday evening to help our Pandas "Get Ready for some Reading"

Fall conferences are this week. Students will be dismissed at 12:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday is a full conference day, so students do not attend school that day. During conferences, we will discuss your child’s progress thus far. This is also a time to discuss GATE screening for students in 3rd-7th grade. If you are interested in the screening process for your child, please discuss this with your child’s teacher during your conference.

We are also looking forward to our first Family Picnic of the year on Friday, September 25, from 11:30 a.m.–12:25 p.m. All families are invited to join their students for lunch! As a reminder, umbrellas and EZ-Ups are not permitted during the picnic. We hope to see you there!

Warmly,

Rachel McCormick

Principal

Dear Parents.

Did you know that you can control your child's iPad while they are at home? All the information and step by step directions can be found on our school website linked here: https://acacia.fullertonsd.org/parents/control-your-students-ipad-at-home. Each school has its own code, so if you have children at other schools, make sure you visit their website for that school as well.

Please visit our website at https://www.fullertonsd.org/Acacia for more information about Acacia, including suggested supply lists and calendar information.

Thank you for your support as we continue to make Acacia a special place for all our students.
