Ms. Newton's Notes

Happy Monday F.AVE Families!

We have had an eventful first day of school! As anticipated, we had a few rough patches, but I do believe that everyone finished strong! We weren't expecting perfection, but a commitment to hang in there with us. Thank you for doing that and for providing feedback to the teacher about what worked and what didn't. We want to hear those things from you first, so we can have the opportunity to problem solve. Some things we can revise, some will become better with time and consistency. Please let us know about anything that we can work on. We thank you so much for partnering with us to get our Falcons acclimated to the tools, processes and procedures of their new classroom community.

Parents are CAST members as well!

F.AVE's COVID Readiness Team

In preparation for our return to in person learning, sometime in the future, we have been asked to form a team that will assist in making decisions that will work to keep our staff and families safe when we return to the building. The FAVE COVID-19 Readiness Team will serve in this capacity. The team is open to staff, parents, and community members.

This team is NOT to decide WHEN students will come back into the building but this team's purpose is to help PREPARE for when our teachers and students return to the building for in-person instruction. This team will meet virtually every other Thursday beginning August 27th from 4:00 - 5:00 PM. Please CLICK HERE to complete the survey if you are interested in serving. We will review the responses and contact those selected to participate on or before August 20.

F.AVE's SLT Meeting

We will hold our first SLT meeting this Wednesday, August 19, 2020 at 4:45 PM. We will send the meeting link out Wednesday morning.

Girls On the Run

Girls on the Run is still happening this season! We will have two virtual teams, with one on T/Th, and one on W/F. If school transitions to “in person”, the T/Th team may as well. The W/F team will be virtual only.

Trained coaches will lead lessons with your girls, and they will complete some walking/running activities on their own. It’s a great way to keep your girls active and to foster social and emotional skill development.

Please see the website for more information. Registration is open through September 1st.
