Important Events & Dates from F.AVE
It's Getting Cold Outside
We've had some very cold temperatures this week, and I'd like to share a few reminders:
Doors open at 7:20 a.m.; please do not drop students off before this time.
Encourage students to dress in layers on chilly days.
Remind your student to check the Lost and Found, as several coats and jackets are left behind each day.
Thanksgiving Luncheon
We're excited to host our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon on Friday, November 14, 2025. As a reminder for those who have purchased tickets, please present a printed or digital receipt upon arrival to serve as your ticket.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Thank you for helping make our arrival and dismissal routines run smoothly! A couple of important reminders:
Car riders must be dropped off and picked up on Oakview Road. For the safety of our students, we ask that you refrain from using the front of the school for car rider drop-off or pick-up.
U-turns on Oakview are only allowed at the second loop.
Following these guidelines helps ensure the safety of all our students. We appreciate your cooperation!
Holiday Spectacular: A Nutcracker Dream
We are excited to announce that Holiday Spectacular: A Nutcracker Dream, a two-act holiday celebration where imagination, movement, and magic come alive, will feature seven of our 4th and 5th-grade students. The performance will take place at Georgia Tech's Ferst Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, November 23, with performances at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. featuring the following seven dancers from F.ave: Shea McPherson, Lucy Ryan, Avery O'Brien, Keira McPherson, Nora Stone, Ella Sutandi, Emilia Grace Castaño.
This is not your typical Nutcracker — it's a fresh, joyful retelling filled with rhythm, wonder, and the magic of the season.
Tickets are through Georgia Tech’s Box Office
Sunday, November 23 | 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM
One Flock, One Flight: F.Ave Falcons Unite!!!
Message from our school’s bookkeeper!
Good afternoon!
This is a reminder that all field trip fees were due October 30, 2025. We have scheduled educational field trips for all grade levels and want to be sure that we include all students. It is difficult to do this if fees aren't paid in a timely manner. In the next couple of weeks Ms. Edwards, school bookkeeper, will send home notices in an effort to collect these fees. Payments can be made by check (made out to FAVE), cash (exact amount) or via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Please contact Ms. Edwards if you have any questions or concerns.
