Dear Farnham Families,

I hope you are all doing well. We are so excited to have our littlest Falcons on our campus all day! Our TK and Kindergarten students have had a seamless transition to full-day school. I am delighted to share that when I checked in with our classrooms, the students happily exclaimed, "We are having a blast! We love school!"

Earlier this week, we had a visit from the City of San Jose Rock and Roll program. The safety information shared is crucial for our daily travels to and from Farnham. When you bring your child to Farnham, you have several safe options: park in our neighborhood and use our supervised crosswalks or drive through the loop or the parking lot where our Student Leadership Team will escort your Falcon to their classroom door. Please remember to drive slowly and follow all staff directions. Safety is our top priority, and we value your partnership in this.

Lastly, we have our Farnham Picture Day on Monday. All of the information can be found below.

Here's to a fabulous week ahead where we solve problems, make good decisions, and show respect.

Be well,

Amy O’Hehir

Principal, Farnham Elementary
