The latest Engage! newsletter includes an opportunity to learn more about the impact of social media on the well-being of children. This is a timely and important topic, and we highly encourage you to attend. We often find that social media is the source of many student conflicts, and we rely on parent collaboration to address this underlying issue.

-Ms. Rivera & Ms. Rockwell

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.

April is Month of the Military Child. There are more than 1.6 million military children who face many challenges and unique experiences as a result of their parents' service. While military members serve around the world, we often forget the challenges faced by their children. Military families move on average every two to three years, impacting military children through changing schools and support networks. Each year, the Department of Defense joins national, state and local government, schools, military serving organizations, companies and private citizens in celebrating military children and the sacrifices they make.

Next week our 8th grade students will continue state testing in science. We will also be calling students in to conduct make up tests for those who may have missed or not finished a test. Please make sure your students come to school with a charged Chromebook ready to test.

This summer, BGW will not be hosting a summer program due to ongoing construction.

If you are interested in your student participating in the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program, please contact English Learners & Instructional Support at (707) 399-5023 or fsusd-elop@fsusd.org.
