This last week of school is jam packed with end of year events, closing out on grades, signing yearbooks and reflecting on the year.

The last day of school is this Thursday, June 5th. Please see below for important information for our last weekly newsletter of the school year.

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.

Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread outside of the United States. Modern-day Pride Month both honors the movement for LGBT rights and celebrates LGBT culture. It wasn't until 1999 that June officially became Pride Month in the USA. It has since grown into a massive celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining "June" and "nineteenth", it is celebrated on the anniversary of General Order No. 3, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas. Originating in Galveston, Juneteenth has since been observed annually in various parts of the United States, often broadly celebrating African-American culture. The day was first recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law after the efforts of Lula Briggs Galloway, Opal Lee, and others.

The yearbooks have arrived! If you've already purchased it, they will be given out starting Monday morning. There are a few extra copies for cash sales only before and after school - at $40 each.

This summer, BGW will not be hosting a summer program due to ongoing construction. However, students who qualify for the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program will be contacted about summer programming hosted by KI Jones Elementary.

The registration links are now live on our district website: www.fsusd.org/elop. Families can now locate their child's school and register for both the 2025–26 School Year (SY) and the 2025 Summer Camp.

Important deadlines:

• Summer Camp registration closes on June 1st
  
• 2025–26 SY registration closes on July 31st, or once site capacity is reached—whichever comes first. Families will be notified if program has reached max capacity.
