📣 Dear Farnham Families,

🎉 What a Wonderful First Day!

Today was the first day of school, and it was wonderful to see so many bright, smiling faces back on campus! Our teachers and staff had a great day welcoming students back into their classrooms, and it was a joy to see our Farnham community reunite. Thank you for helping make the first day such a success, we are so excited for the year ahead!

🌮 Back to School Dinner Social, Tomorrow!

Join us tomorrow at Houge Park starting at 4:00 PM for our Back to School Dinner Social! A taco dinner will be available to everyone at no charge. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow Farnham families and enjoy an evening together as a community. We hope to see you there!

For those who were not able to join me this morning at the Principal's Coffee, here is the link to the presentation.

Solve Problems, Make Good Decisions, and Show Respect. Go Falcons! 🦅

Be well,

Amy O'Hehir

Farnham Principal

P.S. Don't forget to scroll to the end to see pictures of our Falcons!

We hope you had a great first day! The Back to School BBQ is tomorrow Friday, August 14, from 4-7pm at Hogue Park. Join us for food and fun (see flyer for details).

Our first Home and School Club meeting will be on Wednesday, August 19th, at 6pm in the library. (Childcare is provided.) We will discuss this year's budget and our plans for the upcoming year.

In need of spirit wear? The Spirit Hero Flash sale is live! Please use this link or see the flyer below for more information.

We want to keep lost and found to a minimum this year, so please write your child's name on jackets, lunch boxes, backpacks, and water bottles.

If lost items are labeled, we will do our best to return them to the student.

School Absences:

If your child will be absent or tardy, please call the automated 24 hour attendance line before the school day begins. Absences not cleared will be recorded as a truancy. Farnham's 24 hour automated attendance line is 408-377-3321 EXT 4102.

Medical Updates And Medications For 2026-2027 School Year:

Please provide updated medical forms for children with medical concerns and medication requirements for the 2026-2027 school year. The forms are available on the Cambrian District website's Enrollment Page. Please bring the updated and signed form(s), along with the medication, to the Health Office when school begins. A medication authorization form is required for both prescription and over-the-counter medicines. All medication must be in the original container, labeled by the pharmacist, with clear instructions for administration. O-T-C medications must be new in the sealed packaging.

TK/Kinder Modified Schedules

From August 13th to September 4th, all TK and Kinder students will have an early dismissal of 11:50am to help them gradually adjust to a full school day. The first full day of class will be on September 8th.

Attendance Is Important

Consistent school attendance is key to success for your child. Ensuring your child is on time and in attendance on the first day of school is very important. If a student is NOT in attendance on the first day of school, they will be dropped from enrollment at the end of the day UNLESS we receive communication from their parent/guardian regarding the reason for their absence. If your child has five unexcused absences during the first week of school, August 14th-20th, your student will be dropped from enrollment at the end of the day on August 20th. If your child is dropped for any reason, you will need to re-enroll your child with the Cambrian School District.

Avoid Tardies

Being on time to school is a great way to start the day (students do not like walking into class late). Please avoid tardies at all costs. Gates open at 8:05 am, and close (and lock) at 8:15 am when the instructional day begins. After 8:15 am, everyone must check in through the school office, and students will walk themselves to class.

Complimentary Brunch/Lunch

All morning snack and lunches will be complimentary (no cost) for the entire 2026-27 school year. Even though school meals are free this year, we encourage you to complete the meal application to take advantage of additional benefits for you and your family, while also helping with school funding.
