With less than 30 days of school left, we are in the last stretch of the school year. The current grading period ended on Friday, and progress report grades will be available in Aeries this week. A post will be made on ParentSquare once they're ready for you to view. Please reach out to your child's teachers directly with questions about grades.

Our Dual Immersion program and leadership program have designed a spring spirit week for our school community to enjoy! We look forward to seeing our Wildcats dress up as we learn more about Latin/Hispanic culture throughout the week.

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.

May is Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI Heritage Month). The effort to officially recognize Asian American and Pacific Islander contributions to the United States began in the late 1970s, and took over 10 years to make it a permanent month-long celebration.

AAPI Heritage Month is an annual celebration that recognizes the historical and cultural contributions of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to the United States. The AAPI umbrella term includes cultures from the entire Asian continent—including East, Southeast and South Asia—and the Pacific Islands of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. As of 2019, there were about 22.9 million people of Asian or Pacific Islander descent in the United States

Our whole school testing has been completed. We are now in the makeups phase, where students will be pulled to finish any remaining tests. Our goal as a site is to get a close to 100% completion as possible to ensure we have a good measurement of our students' academic level and to be able to plan accordingly. Please ensure that your student brings their Chromebook charged every day.

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. 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.
