F2 Challenge

Thank you to all of our parents and PTA for a wonderful F2 Challenge! We had a wonderful time!

Parent Teacher Conferences

Wednesday night, everyone should have received an email from me inviting you to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Our goal is to have every family attend Parent-Teacher Conferences. At the conference, teachers will share your child's current progress and set goals for the school year.

Just a few other reminders for everyone:

1. All students must be picked every night from school by no later than 4:15 PM. Our staff must remain on duty until all students are accounted for.
2. All students must be with an adult for supervision until 8:30 AM. Please do not send your child to school before 8:30 AM.
3. Please continue to review the arrival and dismissal procedures below. It is important to remain patient at pick-up and drop-off.
4. Remember to use the crosswalks around the parking lot to cross the street.
5. Starting today, all students are walking into the building and to their classrooms by themselves. They can do it!
6. Remember to check your child's backpack every night. Important school documents come home every Thursday.

School starts at 8:50 AM and dismisses at 4:05 PM.

Remember to "like" us on Facebook. The morning announcements and important information can be found on Facebook and the school website. Links are at the bottom of this newsletter.

Be sure to make plans to join us for our Halloween Parade at 2:30 PM on Friday, October 30th. Classroom parties will follow. Parents are invited to stand around the walking trail to watch the parade. The parade will start in the building, then make its way out the front doors and around the walking trail. We ask that students bring their costumes with them in their backpacks and NOT wear them to school. Students will have time to change before the parade.

Costumes should be easy to change into and not be overly scary since we have very young students that will be participating. All accessories (fake weapons and other items) should be left at home. The parade will start at 2:30 pm and last about 20 minutes.

• Fullerton will be a full meal pay school this year.
• Families can apply for free and reduced lunch here. You will need your child's student number to enroll.
• Families needing to put money in their child's lunch account can setup an online account here. You will need your child's student number to enroll. There is a 5% fee added using a card to add money to your child's account.
• You can still write a check or send cash to avoid fees!
• Any funds remaining in a student's account, except for the graduating seniors, will automatically be carried over to the 2026-27 school year unless parents/guardians notify Nutrition Services.
  
• See below for charges for meals.

1. All visitors will sign-in and have to take a picture and wear a special badge upon entry.

2. During the 1st week of school (August 19 - 28th), parents will be allowed to walk their child to the room. Starting Monday, August 31st, parents will drop students off at the door and students will walk to class on their own. I know this will be a change for some, but it really is for all of our students and staff safety. Please know that if you have a student struggling, we will support you. Feel free to contact Mrs. Lasky or the office if you need assistance with this.

Please join us for our PTA meeting on Monday, October 12th at 6:30 PM in the Library. If you cannot make it in person, please join us on TEAMS: October PTA Meeting Teams Link
