Good Evening Acacia Families,

Thank you for another wonderful week at Acacia! A huge thank-you to all the volunteers, families, and organizers who made our Fall Festival a success! Neither the heat nor the wind could stop our Pandas from enjoying one of our most beloved traditions. Our Pandas appreciate your support, and we are grateful for the time, energy, and care you put into creating such a special experience for our students!


Warmly,

Rachel McCormick

Principal

Emergency Preparedness Emergency Preparedness

Dear AcaciaFamilies,


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), Christian Alvarez, at 714-447-7700 or christian_alvarez_santiago@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.

Sincerely,

Rachel McCormick
