Families,

We are looking for 2-3 families to sign up for our Bottle and Can drive that supports our math program here at Farmington View Elementary. This is a fundraiser that brings in money that supports having an additional math teacher at our school. With the additional math teacher we are able to have small math classes (less than 20 per class), differentiated instruction to meet students' math needs, and a math leader that can provide tools and support for all our students.

In order to keep this fundraiser going we need families that can volunteer their time the first Saturday of each month from 10:00-12:00 here at the school helping sort bottles and cans that get dropped off during these hours.

Please consider supporting our math program by signing up to volunteer on a Saturday.

November and December Family STEAM Challenge

Due: Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Family challenges are a fun, optional activity for our families at Farmington View. They will be available each month. If you choose to participate, find a day to complete the challenge with your family. As you complete the challenge, fill out this paper. Once you have completed the challenge and filled out the paper, turn it into the office along with your engineering project. On the last day of the challenge, we will randomly draw one paper. These families will earn a STEAM related prize. Students will receive their prize the following Monday.

For our second challenge, we will be engineers! As a school, we are going to create a Farmington View sign that is made by you. Each family that chooses to participate will get a letter that they need to design out of recycled materials. These letters will spell out Farmington View Bobcats, and they will be on display in our Innovation Workshop!

STEP ONE: If you want to create a letter, please go to the office in the morning to choose your letter. We want to have one of each letter, so we do not end up with 7 of one letter!

Then, you can begin your design.

ASK:

Your Mission: Can you design a 3D, freestanding letter from the alphabet out of recycled materials?

Constraints:

1. You must use recycled materials.

2. Your letter needs to be between 10-15 inches tall.

3. It needs to be three-dimensional.

4. Your letter needs to stand on its own. It cannot be taped to the ground or lean against the wall.

Supplies:

• Any recycled material!

Regular, on-time attendance is essential to students’ education. Too many absences - excused or unexcused - can keep students from succeeding in school and in life. Did you know that missing just two days of school per month means a student loses 10% of their instruction for the school year? Learn more about the importance of attendance, download an attendance tracker, and see support strategies on our website. Of course, attendance does not take priority over your health! If you are too sick for school, please stay home and access your work remotely until you are feeling better.

At Farmington View Elementary School, we know, value, and empower every student. With that, our school is focusing on phonics, and phonics in Spanish for our K-1 Spanish speaking students. Additionally, in math we are focusing on high leverage strategies and number sense during our math blocks. As a STEAM school our focus is on providing our students access to integrated STEAM lessons on a regular basis through our innovation workshop. In order to support an environment where students feel valued and empowered our school is integrating social emotional learning by providing students access to lessons daily. These steps will ensure all our students are successful through their K-12 school years and have the opportunities to achieve their dreams!
